YOW! Advent Calendar

YOW! Advent calendar – door number 10

To go with yesterday’s recipe, here are the personalised bottles!

So: make some mulled wine, pour it into the individually labelled bottles whilst it’s still hot, seal them tightly and give them as gifts.

  1. Create the label in a graphics programme on a computer, print it out on a colour laser printer with registration marks, and then cut out the outline using a cutting plotter. Stick the laser film onto a plotter mat whilst doing so.
  2. Completely weed the sheet with the plotted labels.
  3. Apply the finished label to the bottle – and you’re done.
