Instructions
TIP: A cold bottle of wine is a great thing to bring to a party, but the condensation from the bottle can damage your wrapping paper. By wrapping the bottle in layers, including a layer of celo, you create a moisture barrier so your wrap will look great to the eye and be cold to the hand!
1st: roll the bottle in a sheet of tissue paper of your choice, with the edge of the tissue going just to the bottom of the bottle. (Don't have it overlap the bottom of the bottle as this only creates extra bulk which you don't need.)
2nd: Next roll the bottle in cello, this time leaving enough overlap to just cover the bottom of the bottle. This is your moisture seal. If you are wrapping an un-chilled bottle, you can skip this step.
3rd: Next roll the bottle in your wrapping paper of choice, allowing some of the tissue to stick out of the top, and allowing about a 1 inch overlap on the bottom.
4th. Fold over the bottom overlap in small sections to completely cover the bottom of the bottle. Apply a piece of Scotch Pop Up Tape to hold it all in place. Add a piece of Scotch Pop Up Tape along the side seem if needed for extra security.
TOOLS: I like to use the Scotch Pop Up tape because it comes with a wrist band, so my tape is always handy. Also, the pre-cut strips make it easy to use and apply.
5th: Wrap a wire-edged ribbon around the neck of the bottle and tie a very secure half-knot.
6th: Cross two wine glasses in an X formation across the neck of the bottle, on top of the half-knot.
7th: Tie an additional tight half-knot on top of the wine glass stems, and then finish your bow.
TREND: Adding a little extra something, in this case two wine classes, as a gift attachment turns any bottle into a gift kit. I call it putting the present in presentation, as it adds an additional gift to the package.

What was your inspiration?
Needed a gift for a housewarming party.
What are you most proud of?
By wrapping the bottle in layers, the opening experience is that much more involved. By adding the wine glasses as an embellishment, my bottle stands apart from all others.
What advice would you give someone starting this project?
If wrapping a chilled bottle of wine, the cello acts as a moisture barrier. Make sure the cello also vocer the bottom of the bottle, so moisture does not permeate the bottom of your wrap!
If wrapping an un-chilled bottle, you can omit the cello.
Also, make sure your ribbon is tied super tight, so the glasses don't slip.
what color are you looking for - I have used it for years and saw it recently at Micheals- I will share with you if I have the colors you want as I do not use it much anymore - would ask that you pay shipping but paper would be free - I have several types paper , cello metalic.and plain cello - email me at antiquedragon2xs@gmail.com
Do you have any idea how I can find and purchase Paper Caper///it was made by Plaid and sold in form of a rope and unwind it you could make so many wonderful things...haven't ben able to find it in years.???Any ideas????
