Wine Bottle Hanging Treat Box

This month, I want to share with you the hanging treat boxes I make when I give a bottle of wine as a gift.

My home-based cupcake business, TLCuppycakes, has expanded to include Bridal Showers and Wedding Receptions and I like to leave this as a thank you gift next to the cupcake display:

I try to make these in the couple's wedding colors and I include designer chocolates and my business card inside for a lovely, memorable gift!

This bride chose navy and platinum for her wedding and I was able to match her color scheme nicely with Stampin' Up colors! (Notice the name of the wine? )

This treat box hanger can be adapted to any bottle; soda, water, juice, or can be altered to hang on a door knob by using a larger circle punch.

Directions for the Treat Box Hanger can be found on SplitCoast Stampers at www.splitcoaststampers.com/resources/tutorials/hanging_treat_box

Stamps: Oval All, Tiny Tags

Cardstock: Night of Navy, Whisper White

Designer Series Paper: Walk in the Park

Ink: Night of Navy, Going Gray
