2000 Champaign Bottle Ornament

Victorian Creations

The "2000" Champagne Bottle Memory Ornament

We have created, for you, an ornament not only to celebrate the millennium, but to hold a memory of the once in a lifetime event.

This ornament incorporates a photo, which will surely be treasured for many years to come.

Remember, you can give these ornaments without the picture in them for Christmas, and let the receiver add their own special memory.

Also, one other idea you may want to use; instead of a picture why not write in a special memory of a past Holiday you wish to share with a friend or loved one.

Make sure to have many on hand, because this champagne will never pop its cork.

Let us get started.

1) MATT BOARD

2) CHAMPAGNE BOTTLE (You can download the bottle from this page)

5) FASTENER

6) CRAFT GLUE

7) SCISSORS

8) GOLD CORD

9) PHOTO (Optional)

2) Glue the cut bottle onto the matt board. Make sure to put your glue onto the bottle with an old credit card to smooth the glue out.
Let it dry completely.

3) Cut the bottle from the matt board carefully with a sharp scissor or craft knife.

4) If the edges of the bottle are rough, you may use a nail file to smooth them out.

5) Cut a piece of matt board size 2" diameter. Emboss your gold seal with the "2000" Millennium Embosser, which is available in our Gift Shop and apply to circle you have just cut.

6) Glue your picture onto the bottle before you fasten your seal.

7) Using your scissors make a small hole in your bottle and "2000" seal circle.

8) Put your fastener through the circle with the hole and apply to the hole in the bottle. Fasten on the back.

9) Glue your gold rhinestone to the top of the fastener.

10) Glue your hanging cord to the back approximately 3 inches.
