cheers! a simple engagement present

September 8, 2011 3 Comments

Engagements are a time to celebrate. Our good friends, I and M, are newly engaged so I decided to dress up a little bottle of champagne for the occasion.

Standard bottles of bubbly are pretty but I wanted to personalize the gift.

 

I’m not a fan of gold and had some silver stickers to use so silver spray paint was in order. I taped up the edge of the label and covered the bottom of the bottle with a plastic bag.

I was not the neatest with my tape work around the edge so I had some paint seeping along the bottle.

A quick touch up with a razor cleaned it right up.

A few stickers about engagements personalize it for the occasion.

I measured the labels on the front and back of the bottle and cut out some silverish paper to adhere to the bottle.

I glued the paper to cover the labels using some double sided tape. Make sure to put it close to the edges so the paper doesn’t curl up.

A little message from us on the back finishes it off.

Nothing fancy but a cute little way to celebrate the love with good friends.

Thanks for following Directions Not Included!

    CUTE! What a great idea! Definitely a way to celebrate the big day in style, instead of the regular plain old bottle. Love it.

    Much Love,
    Trissta
