Today’s Project
On the fifth day of our 12 Days of Christmas in July Giveaway, my true love gave to me…these DIY Wine Bags from FaveCrafts! Use an Oliso SmartIron to perfect your project.
Here are eight great sewing tutorials for DIY Wine Bags!
Find some festive fabric and sew together a simple bag instead of attempting to wrap a bottle of wine. Or better yet, fool everyone at a white elephant by putting something other than wine in this bag!
Create a more rustic feel with some holiday-themed burlap for your wine bags! This pattern is so simple; it’s great for beginners.
If you want to step up your wine-bag-game, you can create one with a zipper! How fancy!
Maybe you’re looking for the simplest wine bag possible. How about a plain canvas tote that you sew one seam into? Seriously, it’s that simple!
If you’re the type to always give the gift of humor, try these wine bags with cheeky phrases for the wine-lover on your gift list.
This tutorial shows you how you can create a wine bag with your own clever design.
Denim Wine Bottle Gift Bag Tutorial
Who doesn’t have old jeans just waiting to turn into a craft project? Put that denim to good use by making this wine bag!
If you’re feeling up to a challenge or want a project that will fill more time, try this padded wine bag with nifty handles.
Enter to Win Today’s Prize
