Festive bottle bag

You know how those gift bags people bring you bottles of wine in at Christmas always look too good to throw away, yet whenever you buy wine as a gift for somebody you forget they are there and buy a new gift bag, so the wodge of old bags in the drawer gets thicker, and older, and tireder?

Well I decided it was about time to breathe a new lease of life into one of my old bags - and having done so, I'm more likely to remember to use it, at least that's the theory.

The bag was originally just covered in tiny red stars. I added a strip of felt snowflake braid and topped that with three wine bottles, die cut from scraps, with stamped and die cut labels coloured with pencils and a blending stump. I finished it off with a bow and a snowflake button.
