Why spend money on wine gift bags when you can craft your own from stuff you already have in your closet?

To complete this How-To you will need:

A sheet of paper
A wine bottle
A pen
Scissors
15" x 20" inch section of clothing
6" x 6" section of clothing
Sewing pins
A needle and thread
Pinking shears
12" ribbon
A sewing machine (optional)
Glue (optional)
Decorations (optional)

Step 1: Make pattern

Trace the bottom of the bottle onto the paper and cut out the circle to use as a pattern.

Tip: Use a paper grocery bag, leftover wrapping paper, or craft or shipping paper.

Step 2: Place bottom pattern on fabric

Place the pattern on the small square of fabric, pin it, and cut around the pattern. Then remove the paper pattern.

Step 3: Fold large fabric and sew

Fold the large piece of fabric in half length-wise, with right sides together, and sew along the long edge, making a ½-inch seam along the edge. Open the fabric into a cylinder.

Step 4: Pin round bottom piece

Pin the round bottom piece of fabric to one open edge of the cylinder, with right sides together, and sew all around the edge, making a ½-inch seam.

Step 5: Trim top edge

Turn the wine bag right side out and trim the top edge of the bag with your pinking shears to give it a finished look and to prevent fraying.

Tip: Glue additional decorations onto your bag.

Step 6: Sew ribbon on bag

Sew the midpoint of the ribbon to the gift bag, three inches from the top edge. The two lengths of ribbon at either side of the attached point will dangle freely until you tie them around a bottle of wine.
