Add a bottle of wine and your gift is ready to give!

I love creating Christmas gifts for my friends and family and chose to make a
wine gift box using GCD Studios' new "Joyful Peace" collection. The rich,
elegant colors of gold, burgundy, green and cream are just gorgeous when paired
with holiday staples of cinnamon sticks, snowflakes and pine cones. Here's a
look at my wine box...It was paper mache so I painted the sides and top of it
burgundy:





I bought small white doilies (found in the cake decorating aisle at the craft
store), cinnamon sticks and snow-frosted pinecones and berries for the top of
the box. I hot glued the arrangement on the top after I painted the berries with
burgundy paint. (They were bright red and didn't fit with the color scheme of my
project).


I wrapped twine ribbon around the box and tied it in a bow. Then, I attached a
rusty snowflake with twine to the bow for a country-ish look.


All that's left to do is add a bottle of wine and your gift is ready to
give!



Until next time,
Jill
