DIY: PERSONALIZE YOUR GIFTS BY MAKING YOUR OWN WINE LABELS

hi guys have you ever had a party to go to and you had no idea what in the world to get your friend?

especially the friend who has everything....

well, this happens to me all the time! every weekend we have a shower, b-day, engagement party, wedding, bbq, pool party and this is the perfect little gift to bring in almost any occasion. 

*also makes for a great wedding favor

when Jacob and I go to california, we stock up on 2 buck chuck. (charles shaw) it's only $1.99 a bottle, but has won awards, great reviews, and the taste buds of many. yes people, it is tasty and that's coming from me, someone who loves wine tastings and wine nights! my family and i love the vino so trust me.

 we decided last Christmas to give the 2 buck chuck wine as gifts, but wanted our friends to taste it before they knew how much it was. so i decided to make my own labels to disguise our wine. everyone loved the labels and the little extra effort made it special and fun.


Here's one way to re-label the vino:

1. grab your friend's favorite bottle of wine.

2. grab your stash of old magazines and catalogs.
(if you don't have any on hand, don't buy any. Just ask around or use scrap paper from a recycling bin)

3. peel off old labels on wine bottle and cut out clippings, initials, and use double sided tape to attach to wine bottle.

4. i like to put my friends initials on the label.

5. i have a whole stash of paper hearts left over from the paper heart garlands, so they came in handy:)

another special touch: you can add a stencil to your bottle and wrap it with twine/hemp.

(i used the N for our best friends last name)

hope you enjoyed this DIY!
If this is something you have done before, try it again using different materials.

Even if you're not a girlie girl, it's fun to rock the floral prints!

floral tights- forever 21

the vest looks like the same exact print as the clutch! feels like the same fabric too! they did not come in a set though! i bought them at 2 different thrift stores/different years too! cra cra!

This is my ultimate summer shirt. I love wearing this on super hot days, sunny days with cut offs and a big floppy hat.

I LOVE this dress. I bought it four years ago and I have never worn it! It's completely see-through and the back is opened so I don't know what I'm suppose to wear underneath. If you know, please help a sista out!

This cardigan is from Forever XXI and I love to pair it with a masculine button-down and my grey jeans.

dude kelly! mom had one just like that, i used to wear it in elementary bc i thought it was so cool!

Brandi gave me this skirt a LONG time ago. I believe it is an Urban Renewal from Urban Outfitters.

Bought this on sale last year at a boutique in Lubbock, Indigenous. It has to super large pockets on the front of the skirt and the back is fully exposed so I can only wear it when i'm in tip-top shape :)

This is my favorite piece of jewelry that I have had for years. It was a thrifted (somewhere in austin) gift.
