Champagne-Bottle Wrap

Martha Stewart Living, January 2002

With its airy pom-pom, this sprightly package hints at the effervescence hidden inside.

1. Place a champagne bottle on 5 sheets of tissue with the cork 5 inches from one edge. Tape tissue to the center of the bottle, roll up, and tape down the free edge of the tissue. Trim tissue to 2 inches from the bottle's bottom. Cut notches in tissue, fold it flat, and tape it down.

2. Tie a cord around the bottle's neck, and cut paper into strips above it. Add ribbon, and attach a card.
