holiday gifting ~ new uses for old sweaters

it's official - tis the season for holiday parties and gift-giving!  and wine is a great choice for bosses, hosts/hostesses, and your wine aficionado friends.  i spotted this DIY gift wrapping idea recently and thought it was such a brilliant way to spruce up those wine bottles.  for these warm, fuzzy bottle covers you can use the old sweaters in your closet or pick some up at the thrift store.  then after you remove the sleeves, you can use the vest part for ugly sweater parties!  i know, i'm full of great ideas.

  2. No way! That is awesome and so cute! I used to make leg warmers out of old sweaters but this is definitely more gift friendly.
