Wine, Harry Potter [1], and the holidays. If these are a few of your favorite things, then this DIY [2] will be right up your (Diagon) alley. In the Harry Potter [3] books, each Christmas, Mrs. Weasley hand-knits sweaters for her children and Harry, so we came up with the perfect craft to bring that festive aspect of the series to life. These Weasley sweater wine cozies make the perfect gifts, party favors, or hostess presents for the holiday season, and they don't require any fancy spell work to make them look magical. Check out the easy DIY, and if you need more Harry Potter DIY inspiration, try making some Golden Snitch ornaments [4]. See all the Harry Potter holiday ideas here [5]!
What You'll Need
- Scissors
- Old sweater
- Hot glue gun
- Twine, ribbon, or string
- Felt sticker letters
Step 1
Cut the sleeves off of a sweater, starting below the shoulder.
Step 2
Put a wine bottle in the sleeve, then trim the bottom of the sleeve to size.
Step 3
Tuck the fabric around the bottom of the wine bottle while the sleeve is on the bottle, then hot glue the edges together.
Step 4
Take a felt letter (R for Ron, H for Harry or Hermione, or pick any letter you'd like!), and stick on to the front of the sweater.
If you don't have sticky letters, you can always trace and cut out your own letter and hot glue it to the sleeve as well.
Step 5
Cut a piece of festive string to about 5-6 inches in length.
Step 6
Tie the string in a bow around the neck of the bottle.
Just like magic!
Make several as party favors or host gifts (or just to add to your holiday decor).
