She's Crafty: housewarming gift idea

My best friend just moved into a new place with her boyfriend. I had already bought her a beautiful set of wine glasses that I found for uber cheap (thank you, homegoods!). While debating what else I should get her I stumbled across this cat shaped bottle of Riesling. Which turns out to be perfect. My best friend is obsessed with cats and will only drink sweet wine. Instead of putting the purrfect wine into a wine bag I opted for a pretty dish towel. 

The best way to wrap the wine bottle in the dish towel is to lay out the dish towel and place the bottle of wine in the middle. 

Fold up all the sides and tie the top with a ribbon. (Sorry this photo is so blurry. I blame a shaky hand.)

Voila! It's a perfect housewarming gift, host/hostess gift, etc. The wine and dish towel both can be found at World Market.

I wanted to create a gift tag that went along with the theme of the party. I found
the spider web scrolls here. 

I have to admit that I've been a bit "rusty" on getting creative with a lot of things lately. I'm going to blame being 9 months pregnant. When I got invited to one of my friend's housewarming parties (a Murder Mystery one at that!), I knew I couldn't show up empty handed with some lame present. I wanted the gift to somehow kinda fit in with the theme of the party. 

Screw top wines are easy to open but they aren't my favorite. However,  I really liked the label.
Hopefully it doesn't taste bad. 

I found this lovely dish towel (I have the same one in my kitchen) at World Market and
wrapped it around the wine bottle. Voila! Easy but cute housewarming present. 

Since I really love Roxy & James, I felt that I should give them a little something else.
I bought two eco friendly sponges, Mrs. Meyers hand soap and 3 kitchen towels that matched the
dish towel I used above. I bought that mason jar awhile ago for the hell of it. I've also seen this
idea before on pinterest.

Everything fit perfectly in the mason jar.
I made the label with graphics I found here. I also found
a really cool font that looks like the letters are bleeding.
Perfect for a murder mystery themed housewarming party!

Fingers crossed my friends enjoyed the gifts. I had a lot of fun putting them together.
