Day 3

On the third day of Christmas
My true love got from me . . .




Three bottle gift tags


-----+-----


Close-ups:


Molly's tag is a tangled Zentangle ATC tile with a hole cut to fit a bottle top.




Maria threaded a silk ribbon through a small hole and knotted it.




Rick taped a beaded chain pull to the back of his bottle tag.

Such a beautiful idea!

Tina said...

Such great ideas

Deborah Lee said...

My niece will love a bunch of these to attach to the bottles of wine from Peaceful Bend Valley, their winery in Missouri! I'd better get busy!

Robyn said...

beautiful gift tags

Suzanne Johnson said...

For non-wine drinkers, this would also be great to put on one of those decorative bottles of olive oil or peppers...or anything!

Holly Williams said...

Opening each day's idea is like a beautiful Advent calendar! So fun!

Talagal said...

Loving these! Bottles make great gifts that are usually appreciated but I think they can seem a little impersonal - these tags are beautiful and show you've spent some time and effort on the gift. I'll definitely be making these.

Unknown said...

Love the idea! Inspires me to make new cards!

Very cool. Cheryl C. :)

Unknown said...

I might need more than one craft day and I'm only on Day 3!

KAYC said...

Absolutely brill idea..cheers a dull bottle of wine up no probs..

BeverlyBL said...

Great looking tags. Hope to make a couple for the Holiday buffet.

heberube said...

I am definitely making some of those.

Didisch said...

Beautiful bottle tags came out of your atc box!

Mickey Weitsen said...

I really like the hole-punched card - what a good idea! This will probably make the tag more appreciated than the wine!!

Gerri said...

The hole punched card is a great idea - can be used for more than just wine bottles too!

Auburn Mom - Lynn said...

My husband makes wine...now I have a way to send greetings of cheer with a bottle, or labels for hosting wine-tastings!

joann said...

love love love the gift tags, great idea

Rhonda said...

Great tag idea's.

C. Sage Deerborn said...

What a delightful tag idea.

Ginny Stiles said...

I like that these ideas are doable by the average person and you don't have to be a 10 year veteran tangler to do them.

Lise CZT12 said...

With a beautiful like like these, you could use them on anything from olive oil to hot sauce to dessert wine! Makes them all special.

Kasey ~ in Oz said...

Such a beautiful way to personalise your gift giving this season. Fabulous idea, thank you.

Thanks so much for your inspirations!

Unknown said...

Love the white on black

crotnem said...

These are my favorite ideas so far! Always have wine in the house!

luvhymns said...

Love the tangles surrounding the bottle. That's so neat!

Mackin-Art said...

Wine is fine, but your art is great!

DS said...

A wonderful and creative gift for a host! Thank you!

swakins said...

I will be making some of these tags for sure. Small way to personalize a gift that can sometimes look so generic.

Gail said...

Very creative!

NanW said...

I love these tag ideas.

Joan Stewart said...

Gift tags are a great idea as they can be used all year long.

Paula (PEP) said...

As I was looking at Malbec I realised the chain holding it is echoed in the tangles, so I looked at Cheers - sure enough the the flowing banner of lettering is reflected in the ribbon holding that; & the first one with the hole - the tangles are circular or orb shaped. I wonder what other things you are going to hide in these 12 days……...

Unknown said...

cool ideas again...

melanie said...

Gorgeous! The first one only needs a head, to become a flamenco dancing lady bottle!

Shannon said...

Wonderful idea.

gobarb26 said...

Great idea for gift giving! Think I will make one for a house gift for a party tomorrow night!

No more store bought gift tags. Maybe put them in a little frame to keep year round.

Love this idea!! If you give a bottle of wine as a gift, it shows the hosts that you put a loving touch to your gift!!

This would be great to combine with the ornaments from Day 2 ... tie it to the gift, then they can add it to their tree. Love it!

Mary said...

Wonderful! I love Rick's chain idea!

Bette Abdu said...

My 'bottle' gifts this year are adorned with a little tangle. Thanks for this idea

Jan Brandt said...

I used to make stamped & embossed gift tags. Now I'm feeling inclined to dust off the gift tag project and update it to tangled ATCs! Your ideas always inspire me. :) Thank you!!!

Cathrine nicols said...

These two things go very well together.

Unknown said...

I'll have to remember to do that for one of my gifts. Definitely more personal than the store-bought gift tags.

Eden said...

Nice way to personalize a gift or quickly label wines for a party.

Diane Wright, CZT said...

Great idea for gift giving.

Anonymous said...

I have made gift tags with the tiles but never for a wine bottle. Very inspiring.
