Birthday with the Imagine - Part 2: Water Bottle Labels and Napkin Wraps

Part 2 of my Birthday celebration are water bottle and napkin wraps.  Let me begin by saying I LOVE water bottle labels.  This is my third time doing these, first time using Cricut tools.  Water bottle labels are very easy to put together and when using a standard 8.5x11 sheet of paper, you can get 5 labels a page when cut at 2 inches wide.  They are easy decor and bring so much attention and detail to any party. I think they are super impressive and lots of fun!

Supplies for the Napkin Wraps:
Pink Napkins
Premium Plastic Cutlery (I used Elegant Ware from Dollarma.  A pack of 24 cost $2 and it looks like silverware!)
Brown satin ribbon
Cricut Imagine
Cricut Imagine "Better Together" cartridge





Supplies for the Water Bottle Labels:
Water Bottles
Patterned paper (DCWV Sweet Stack)
Pink Cardstock
White Cardstock
Martha Stewart Punch around the Page
Foam Squares
Stickes (Star Dust)
Adhesive
Cricut Imagine
Cricut Imagine "Yummy" cartridge

Instructions for the Water Bottle Wraps:
1)  Using 8.5x11 pink cardstock (or any colour to match your theme), cut 2 inch thick strips (length should be 8.5).  Repeat with pattern paper but this time make the strips 1 inch thick.
2) Run two strips of adhesive at each end of the strip.  I recommend the ATG because I find the bond is stronger than most tape runners.
3)  Tear off original label from the water bottle.
4)  Place new label around the bottle and press firmly.
5)  If using pattern paper, wrap your next layer around the bottle.
6)  Add the strip of Martha Stewart border punch paper.
7)  Adhere your image to the water bottle.



*If you'd like, water bottle labels can also double up as seating arrangement cards by adding a tag to the water bottle label*
