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.

  4. 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!

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

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

  7. 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.

  14. Beautiful bottle tags came out of your atc box!

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

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

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

  19. 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.

    ReplyDelete
  20. 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.

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

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

    ReplyDelete
  31. 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……...

    ReplyDelete

  67. These two things go very well together.

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