DIY: Bottle Wrap

Woot! Wine! The gift that everyone loves. For this occasion it was my cousin's birthday and I wanted to fancy up the 'presentation' rather than just pull out the bottles from a brown paper bag. I found a tutorial from Martha Stewart and thought it was a great idea but not everyone has a need for a table cloth; if I was going to a picnic/party perhaps. I thought a scarf might work instead. I was hoping to find a square scarf to mimic the tablecloth but alas Target had none. I ended up choosing a long rectangular shaped scarf. I modified the tutorial a little bit to fit the new shape.


  1. Buy some wine! I judge a book by it's cover, and I judge my wine by it's label. I like the typography on the left bottle and the illustration on the right bottle.
  2. Grab a scarf. I went with a long rectangular shape but you can also use a square-shaped scarf.
  3. Lay the scarf out flat. In the very middle, on the long edge stand the wine bottles next to each other.
  4. Now lay the two bottles down on their sides; making sure to maintain the gap between the ends.
  5. Roll the bottles forward until all the fabric is wrapped around.
  6. With the seam facing in take hold of the necks of the bottles and stand upright. Depending on how long the scarf was you can tie ends in a double-knot, if longer a nice bow.
