Winter Wine Warmers


What a wonderful way to keep your red wine warm and your white wine chilly! :)

I had a wondeful time making these and really haven't seen much around like them. They are created from the arms of two old woollen jumpers felted in the washing machine. I have adorned the black holder with colourful little felt blobs and circles, and the grey on with the caption "WINO" which is of course tongue in cheek humour.

Recycling old woollen jumpers into felt craft was a bit of a past time last winter and I am looking forward to making more crafty things this winter. To me felt and wool epitomise winter. There is something special about rugging up all cosy and warm in your woolly gloves on a cold, misty morning......

Personally the thought of rocking up to someones house for dinner with a bottle of red wine in it's own little cosy is kinda cool!! It could sit on the middle of the table as a kind of decoration in its own right. If it was chilly white wine - well your hands wouldn't get cold picking the bottle up to pour...... The fact that wool is a fabulous insulator just tops of how useful these little wonders could be :)
