diy: gold leaf bottle stopper + moscow mule printable

It's barely December and already our weekends are packed from now until the end of the year.  Parties, open houses...so much fun!

I never like to show up empty handed...but I hate it when I have to stop at the store on the way over because I forgot to think ahead for a hostess gift.

Here's a gift that's pretty and functional and you can totally make a bunch ahead of time to have on hand for any holiday party invites!

You'll need:

plastic animal
gold leaf paint
cork
strong craft glue
satin ribbon

Start by painting your plastic animal with gold leaf paint.  Let dry completely.

Then glue the cork to the belly of the animal.  Let dry completely again.

If you'd like to add an extra festive touch {or just cover the gap of glue} tie a bit of ribbon around.

And if you'd like to up your gift even more special...nestle a couple of tiny copper mugs in with your stopper.

A favorite cocktail recipe would also be a fun addition.  Click here for the free printable.  Print on heavy cardstock, trim, and stick it in the box, glue it to the inner lid, or tie it atop with a bow!

Merry Christmas, friends!
