Wrap It Up - A Hoppy Easter Hostess Gift Presentation

Present Presentation.  One of our favorite hostess gifts is a bottle of wine wrapped with a microfiber towel.  For Easter we put a bunny spin on it.  To do this you need a bottle of wine, a microfiber towel, 2 dish cloths, 2 safety pins, and a ribbon.

Here is a tutorial on how to put it together...

The first thing to do is gather your supplies:
- Wine bottle of your choosing
- Microfiber Towel, here is our Hoppy Easter one
- Ribbon
- 2 Microfiber Dish Cloths
- 2 Saftey Pins

Step 1
- Fold the dish cloth into an "ear"
a. Lay the cloth out as a diamond.
b. Fold the bottom corner up to the top corner creating a triangle.
c. Take the right corner and bring in to the left and bottom as shown.
d. Take the left corner and bring it down to the right as shown.
e. Repeat with other dish cloth so both are folded.

Step 2
- Fold the Microfiber Towel
a. Lay the towel flat with the front on the table and the embellished side away from you.  Take the bottom edge and role it to the bottom of the bunny as shown.
b. Take the folded edge closest to you and bring it up to cover the back of the embroidery.
c. Fold the raw edge farthest away from you over the other parts of the towel along the folded edge.

Step 3
- Place the dish cloth ears on the bottle
a.  Lay the bottle of wine down and place one ear on the right side of the bottle, the top point even with the top of the bottle.
b. Place the left ear on the left side.  It may overlap the other ear on the bottom.

Step 4
- Place and Secure the Microfiber Towel
a. Lay the microfiber towel over the ears, lining up the bottom fold with the bottom of the bottle.  Tuck one side under, and then wrap the other side around.
b. Secure the outer edge of the microfiber towel to the other side underneath with a safety pin near the top and another near the bottom.
c. Adjust the ears so they look the way you like.

Step 5
- Tie on the Bow
a. Lay the wrapped bottle on the ribbon.  Tie a bow and adjust the height to where you like.  I think it looks cute at the neck height on the bunny.

All done and ready to go.  This is a gift alone, but if you want to make it even better place it in an Easter basket filled with other goodies!
