Wine packaging as a (Father's Day) gift

What do you need?

• instax mini 40
• instax mini Black Film
• brown packaging paper
• jute twine string
• black acrylic paint
• small paint brush
• leaves of different shapes
• wine cork
• 7 cm of iron wire
• scissors
• knife
• tape
• a bottle of wine of your choice

Step 1

Paint the leaves black with acrylic paint using a small paint brush and ‘stamp’ them on the brown paper. Leave to dry.

Step 2

Roll the wine in the stamped paper and close with tape. Make sure there is about 10 cm of paper free below and above the wine.

Step 3

Fold the bottom of the packaging by bringing the paper toward the middle and closing it with tape.

Step 4

Close the upper part like you would close a bag by folding it and securing it at the back with tape.

Step 5

Cut a 40 cm piece of a jute twine string and tie it on top of the wine leaving about 10 cm hanging on both sides (you will use it to hang the instant photo).

Step 6

Insert the instax mini Black film into the instax mini 40 camera and take a photo that you want to hang on the bottle (for Father’s Day, take a picture of the man that deserves to be spoiled with a good bottle of wine).

Step 7

Make an incision in the middle of the bottom of the wine cork and insert the instant photo in it.

Step 8

Insert the iron wire on the top of the wine cork and make a small loop using scissors.

Step 9

Put the wine cork with the instax photo on the jute twine string and tie it. Your gift is now ready!
