I think I’ve found the perfect presents for this holiday season! This Santa wine project is the best DIY gift for wine lovers. It’s way better than a regular bottle since the labels are customized and the bottles are all dressed up with hats and scarves, making them look so festive. If you’re still looking for gifts for friends, coworkers, or family, this custom wine idea is exactly what you need!

You can easily buy wine from the store and hand it out as is. That is totally fine, but if you have the option to customize it and make it more fun, why not go for it? Add some sparkle and Christmas magic to plain wine bottles with these funny holiday quotes. They instantly upgrade the look of the bottles and make them more fitting for the festivities. Plus, they look more thoughtful compared to standard labels. If you are worried about the wine information, don’t be. We won’t be removing the back label, so you can still tell the wines apart.
How to Remove Wine Labels Easily
Place the wine in a tall container. Soak in a mixture of vinegar and soapy water for 30 minutes.

After that, carefully remove the label. Get rid of excess glue using rubbing alcohol and a blade.

How to Customize Wine Labels
These customized wine labels turned out way better than expected. They’re fun, relatable, and modern. If you are wondering what app I used to make them, don’t worry, I am not gatekeeping! I made all three designs on Canva!

The design process was super enjoyable! This is not an ad, but Canva is the best design tool you could ever get for free online. I’ve been using it for years and it has made my creative life so much easier. I had tons of graphics and photos to choose from for this project, which is an absolute joy for creatives like me.

Draw a 6 1/2″ x 2.75″ rectangle on the Santa hat.

Cut the rectangles. Take one of the cut pieces and place it right-side up. Apply a strip of glue along the top edge, then place the other piece on top, right-side down. Open teh fabric.

Flip it so the wrong side is facing up. Fold and glue the edges on both sides.

Apply hot glue to one edge, then fold the other side over.

Fold it just like in the photo below, then apply glue to secure it.

Take the Santa hat and cut off the top portion.

Remove the white trim from the bottom of the hat, then glue it onto the small Santa hat.
