Wrap your wineglass in a sheik color-coordinated pouch for your Jewish Celebration! Don't be a traditional bride - you can handmake your own pouch the color of your bridesmaids dresses, your accent color or your grooms favorite color! This is a great idea so that it will keep all the sharp glass in a contained pouch that you can just discard the contents and use the pouch as memorabilia of your special day.
Items you need
- 1 large piece of heavy fabric
- iron
- scissors
- 6in-long piece of ribbon
- button
- needle and thread
Follow these five easy steps to make your own:
1) Cut fabric to 8x24in; lay flat, wrong side up (this is for a very thin wineglass that measures 2 3/4x8in).
2) Fold each edge over by 1/2in for hem, and iron crease. Unfold the hems, and cut away excess fabric at corners on a 45-degree angle. Refold the hems.
3) Fold one short side over by 2in for the flap, and iron to crease; then unfold. Slip fusible web tape inside the hem at end of the flap, and tuck one end of ribbon inside the hem; iron to fuse. Fold other short side over to meet the flap's crease, and iron; then unfold. Cut two 10 1/4in pieces of 3/4in tape, and slip under the sides of the flap; iron to fuse sides of flap to pouch.
4) Sew button 1/2in from flap bottom. Place the glass inside, bowl first.
5) To close pouch, wrap ribbon around button
And there you have it - you are all done SMASH AWAY!
