A bottle of good wine, expensive cognac or champagne is a great gift for any holiday or event, especially for men. If friends are invited to a party, bring a bottle of quality alcoholic drink considered a sign of good manners. Of course, rarely anyone pays serious attention to the gift packaging of wine, but in vain! Interesting ideas on how to pack a bottle will help you make a gift original and memorable.
1. How to pack a bottle in paper
The first thing that comes to mind is to pack a bottle of wine in gift paper, since now there is a very wide selection of patterns, textures and density of wrapping paper. You can make a very beautiful, elegant and stylish wine wrapper out of paper, which will even be a pity to tear.
2. Paper bottle packaging with serpentine fringe.
The standard version of packaging a bottle in paper can be diversified with long curls on the neck of the bottle. Such a wrapper will harmoniously look for a gift for the New Year holidays, as the twisted fringe resembles a serpentine.
3. How to pack a bottle in tissue paper or corrugated paper
Take a napkin or a strip of paper and wrap the neck of the bottle with it, secure with tape. Then cut off a wider strip of paper, wrap the bottle so as to cover the place where the tape of paper is attached to the neck. The bottom can be left open. The side can be glued with tape or wrapped with decorative tape, ribbon or cord. Try to make the junction of the two layers of paper almost invisible. The bottle can be decorated with New Year's toys, natural or artificial flowers.
4. How to make a beautiful bottle packaging in the form of a vase of flowers
A rather unusual way of gift wrapping a bottle is to make it look like a vase of flowers. Plain "postal" wrapping paper looks very stylish, especially in combination with a tourniquet or twine. Just wrap the bottle in paper, secure with small pieces of tape, leaving the bottom of the bottle open. Tie a beautiful ribbon bow or wind a couple of turns of twine. Write your wishes, and put sprigs of needles, some simple small flowers or leaves between the paper and the bottle on top. It looks simple, elegant and, at the same time, very cute.
5. Gift packaging of a bottle from the sleeves of a sweater
If you have an old sweater or an unnecessary knitted sweater, do not rush to throw them away! Knitted sleeves can turn into cozy, warm bottle gift wraps that are very suitable for the winter holidays.
Take an unnecessary knitted item in which the sleeves are in good condition. Wash the sweater, cut off the spools with a special machine, if any. Slide the bottle into the sleeve so that the cuff is at the level of the neck. Cut off the sleeve below the bottom of the bottle by a couple of cm. Make sure that the knitting does not unravel, it is advisable to pick up the yarn and sew it up with a thread. The bottom for such a knitted cover can be cut out of dense fabric and sewn on, or you can simply gather the edge of the cut off sleeve with threads and pull it off in the middle. On the neck with cuffs, tie a ribbon, braid, decorate with beads or buttons. Such gift wrapping can be knitted with your own hands.
They are given for personal and calendar holidays, dates, visits and "thanks" are indispensable without them. We offer you several ways to pack a bottle beautifully and in an original way, and make such a present more presentable and stylish.
Japanese packaging technique "furoshiki"
This wrapping technique has been used by the Japanese for many centuries and involves wrapping objects (not just bottles) in a piece of square-shaped cloth. That is, for all the methods described here, you will need the bottle of alcohol itself (or two) and a square scarf with a side length of 40 to 80 cm.
Method number 1
In this way, you can pack two bottles at once. For greater clarity, how to beautifully pack bottles of wine or cognac, we provide you with illustrations and descriptions for them.
So, put the handkerchief in a diamond shape and put the bottles in the center. Now we tie the ends of the scarf, marked with the letters "a" and "c", with a knot over the necks of the bottles. We stretch the end of the "d" between the bottles towards us. Now we cross the ends of "d" and "b" with each other. We twist them into bundles. We grab the bottles with the resulting bundles and tie them in front with a beautiful knot.
Method number 2
Also suitable for an unusual presentation of a pair of bottles. To do this, lay out the scarf in a rhombus and place the bottles on it flat with the bottom to each other, closer to the bottom edge of the scarf (as in the figure). Now, starting from this very bottom edge, we wrap the bottles. Carefully take the wrapped bottles and put them on the bottom. The ends of the scarf are tied with a knot over the necks of the bottles.
Method number 3
A great option on how to beautifully pack a bottle of champagne. Again, we start by laying our scarf on a hard surface with a rhombus, putting champagne in its center and bending the edges of the scarf “a” and “c”, as shown in the figure.
Now we pick up the same edges around the neck of the bottle with an "accordion" and fix them with a thin rubber band. With the remaining edges of the scarf (“b” and “d”), carefully wrap the bottle (clockwise). In the region of the neck, we cross the edges with each other, cover the neck (over our rubber band) and tie it with a knot.
Method number 4
In such an interesting and rather practical design, you can present one or a couple of bottles of intoxicating gifts. We lay out the scarf in a rhombus and place a bottle (or two) in the center (as in Fig. 1). We collect the lower and upper edges of the scarf over the neck of the bottle (bottles), tie it at once, twist the free edges with a tourniquet and tie with a loop (Fig. 2). With the remaining two edges of the scarf, we wrap the bottle (bottles), as in fig. 3-5 and tie them in front with a neat knot.
Method number 5
“Bottle in a kimono” - this is how you can call the result of another interesting way how to pack a bottle as a gift with your own hands. We put our gift in the center of the scarf, one side of which (upper) is folded inward (Fig. 1). Then we “wrap” the bottle with the same side, as in Fig. 2. Now we bend the lower edge of the scarf (Fig. 3) and tie the bottle with it, making a knot at the back.
Method number 6
Another original version festive packaging of champagne. Take a rectangular piece of fabric or a scarf, put a bottle of champagne on it (in the middle, closer to the top edge, as in the picture). Now we “wrap” the bottle on both sides. Then we fold the free edge of the fabric below the bottom of the bottle with a tourniquet, put the bottle and wrap the neck of the bottle with the resulting tourniquet.
A bottle of good wine, expensive cognac or champagne is a great gift for any holiday or event, especially for men. If friends have invited guests to a party, bringing a bottle of a quality alcoholic drink with you is considered a sign of good taste. Of course, rarely anyone pays serious attention to the gift packaging of wine, but in vain! Interesting ideas on how to pack a bottle will help you make a gift original and memorable.

With the sharp side of the scissors, iron each strip of fringe to make it look like a serpentine.

In combination with a tie or a bow tie, such an extravagant bottle packaging will definitely remain in your memory for a long time. An ideal gift solution for your beloved man or colleagues, and a bow tie or tie can also be an additional (or main) gift.
And to make such a package is even easier than from a sweater, since in this case you do not need to take care that the knitting does not bloom. The workflow is exactly the same. Find an unwanted shirt, clean and with full sleeves. Put the bottle in the sleeve, it is desirable that the cuff completely covers the neck of the bottle. Cut off the sleeve just below the bottom line, sew on the bottom of the fabric or just sew the edges. You can simply cut off the cuff with a button and fasten around the bottle.
