When I see something that intrigues me I just have to try to figure out how to make it. This happened to me with Stemmed Glass Cozies. My blog friend Robbie at Robbie's Paw Prints shared them and then found a great simple tutorial she shared for how to make them. Thank you Robbie.
As you can see, these are addictive and making them is very quick and simple. I will be filling my gift cupboard with sets for hostess and thank you gifts. I already gave these to our weekend host and hostess.
If you choose not to cover the stemmed glass with them you can also use them just like regular coasters. Aren't these Giraffe Wine Glasses fun? My Granddaughter gave them to Mr. C one year because he loves Giraffes. Very thoughtful gift.
Here is a fun summer combination of yellow and lime green and I am showing them with a stemmed glass I like to serve lemonade in the shade on a hot Summer day.
I think a set of these Stemmed Glass Cozies and a bottle of wine will make a wonderful hostess gift. A set of these with some fun stemmed glasses and maybe some lemonade mix will also make a great gift. I am busy cutting out the next batches. Kind of like potato chips and not eating only one. Do you think you will make any of these?
Our weather is glorious and sunny and in the low 70's...however we are to get some rain the end of this week possibly. Flowers are blooming and trees and bushes are leafing out. Birds are showing their wonderful feathers and tweeting songs.
Embracing Spring and Creative Bliss...
P.S. Thank you to Diane of Lace-lovin Librarian for her suggestion on my iPad posting question. I think I still need to download an app for it to work. Like I said, I am not good with technology!
what a great idea and you're right that would be a great gift!
ReplyDeleteEnjoy that weather,, we still have snow,,
Oh my gosh, these are so awesome!! What a great idea and they're so beautiful!! I love those giraffe wine glasses, too!! Our spring took a little detour...we're having temps below freezing. I'm worried about all the flowers that were just starting to bloom. Have a wonderful evening my friend!! Big hugs :)

I actually stumbled across a tutorial for making those coaster/holders two or three years ago and made a number of sets as gifts. Might be time to make some more! Love Mr. C's giraffe wineglasses- never seen any like that. More snow is due to arrive tomorrow night. Enough already!!
ReplyDeleteThose are great and would make such a wonderful gift.
ReplyDeleteI love these so so so much! And I love those giraffe wine glasses. I'm always wiping down the bottom of my glass especially when in humid climates. These are perfect. Wonderful gift idea and I'm sure you whip them out in no time.
ReplyDeleteI am off to check out ow to do these they are pretty and practical. Loving the giraffe glass Catherine would be so envious if she saw that as she too is a giraffe lover
ReplyDeleteI have a pattern for those cozies somewhere in the deep, dark recesses of my computer. You've given me an idea for a raffle basket for the drama club this summer... cozies, glasses, and lemonade. It is a school function, so no wine! ;-)
ReplyDeleteThese do make really great hostess gifts. We used to entertain a lot more several years ago so I kept a gift drawer of various items both for hostess gifts and gifts for unexpected friend's arrivals during the holidays. These would have been perfect. I've seen them around and everyone is raving about them.

ReplyDeleteWhat fun these are. Hubby is always managing to spill his wine. These should save on the table clothes. Thanks for the link to the instructions. They really are that simple to make. Hugs Mrs A.
ReplyDeleteGood morning! I love your cozies. I always think how sweet you are, and love that you "of course have to figure it out"!! Enjoy your springy weather...we keep going back to winter and snow...i need sunshine! Have a wonderful weekend, Sherry. Hugs, k
ReplyDeleteHello Sherry. Super cute stemmed glass cozies. They really would make great gifts. Glad your weather is nice and that you may have rain. We have been as dry as dry could be here in Miami. Horrible. The grass is so crisp and dry and brown. We plan on working on the yard this coming weekend. hoping to get it back to life. Have a wonderful week and happy crafting. Ana
ReplyDeleteHi Sherry~ Aren't these so clever and cute! You never cease to amaze me with what you are up to next!
ReplyDeleteThese are wonderful! Going to make some for the holidays and hostess gifts. One of the commenters said they would be a great accompaniment for a bottle of sparkly.
