Valentine's Day bottle holder

Valentines Day bottle hanger

Lori here with a great Valentine's Day gift idea. 

My husband is REALLY hard to shop for, but I know that I can't go wrong with a fun evening and food.  I used the Fancy Pants Country Boutique to make this bottle holder gift.

So begin by gathering your supplies.

Fancy Pants - Country Boutique - Black corrugate sheet 
Fancy Pants - Country Boutique - Lydia
Fancy Pants - Country Boutique - Die cuts
May Arts - Black/White 1/2" ribbon
Sewing Machine and red thread
Adhesive
Circle hole punch

Create the pocket out of the black corrugate sheet.  Cut a small piece of the Lydia paper to fit on the front pocket.  I drew a heart with a pencil, then used my sewing machine to sew the shape.  I went over it 2 times to help define the shape.

I loved the ticket from the die cut pack that said Good times, admit one.....It was PERFECT for this project!  I mounted it red cardstock  and adhered it to the Lydia paper.  I tied the May Arts Black and white ribbon around the card too, then I sewed again the parts that covered up the heart.  I cut the holder into the shape of a tag, and punched a hole at the top.

Now all that was left to do was write a note on the red cardstock tag, fill it with some fun stuff, (in this case chocolate and a gift card for dinner), and give it as a gift.  This would also make a great gift for a wedding, an anniversary, a birthday gift....whatever!
Thanks for stopping by, and remember to join The Hen's Den for a very special Valentine's Day blog hop on February 14th!  See you then!
