Whether you’re decorating for a New Year’s bash or whipping together some gifts to bring to a party, these silver champagne cozies will be welcome at every dining table! They look glamorous and help you avoid drips and slips until you’re ready to pop the cork at midnight! They remind us of wine bottles wrapped in simple napkins at fine restaurants, with a bit more pizzazz. Photo and instructions courtesy of BHG
Materials
- 1 silver cloth napkin
- 4 large decorative buttons
- Thread to match napkin
- Needle and pins
- 1 yard coordinating ribbon
Instructions
- Fit cozy to bottle. With right side out, pin the napkin into a tube shape around the desired bottle, overlapping the edges to fit. Remove bottle.
- Secure fabric with buttons. Beginning 5 inches down from the top of the tube, secure the edges by sewing 4 buttons, evenly spaced, through both napkin layers.
- Sew bottom. Turn tube inside out and flatten, keeping overlapped edges centered on the side facing up. To fit bottom of napkin to bottle, fold a 1-inch pleat on each side of tube at bottom edge. Machine-sew across bottom of tube, catching pleats in seam. Turn cozy right side out.
- Slide the cozy onto the bottle. Tie the ribbon around cozy at neck of bottle.
