Well, the opinions varied but I appreciate the comments on my last post about whether or not I should add a stencil to the Burlap Wine Bag I made a few days ago. The majority said “STENCIL IT!!! “ So I did!
Before After
It was a quick and easy addition. I did a google search for Halloween Witch Silhouette and found the witch I liked best and I printed it out after I played around with getting it just the right size. Then I cut out my own stencil with this:
It is the neatest little tool. It allows you to burn your own stencils and works just like a wood burning tool that came in those wood burning kits that I always wanted when I was a kid. I purchased it at Michaels earlier this year with a 40% off coupon of course and you can buy the blank stencil sheets there too. It’s very easy and very fun to do. After I burned the the outline of my witch I used it as a stencil on the top of my wine bag.
And you know about my fascination with numbering everything. Lucky 13 was just what this bag needed. I have been asked several times where I got my number stencils. I purchased a set from MAISON DE STENCILS and I also have a set from STENCILS ON LINE .
There were a lot of suggestions that I add a monogram to the the wine bag. That’s a good idea and I hope after I get some more bags made that I can make a few with monograms But for now I wanted something seasonal. Burlap and Halloween just go hand in hand don’t you think? Thanks for all your great ideas!

The stencil looks fabulous. Thanks for the info on where you purchased it. You always have such great ideas. Thanks so much for sharing.
You are totally getting me in the Halloween Spirit!!! :)
This is just too cute! I'm a wine rep, and I'm always giving wine as presents but faced with the challenge of making it look like I exerted more effort than walking over to my wine racks and picking out a random bottle. I think this bag would be adorable w/ a monogram - very perfect for shower presents, etc! Great idea! Please post how you made the bag, I'd love to try and make one, too!
