Wine Bottle Labels (750ml bottle pictured): Front Label style - our example label measures 5 1/2" square. That should work on most bottles but may need adjustment based on the actual dimensions of the label on the bottle you are covering.  Place small hole punches (1/16" diameter) approximately 1/4" deep into the corners of the card stock. Eyelets are optional, we are using them to help show placement of the holes in the photo.
Vertical Ribbon Placement (1 yard of ribbon is used):  With the stamped label facing you, start in the upper left corner feeding the ribbon up through the hole, bringing about 9 inches of ribbon through. Using the other end of the ribbon, bring it up through the upper right corner, down through the lower right corner and up through the lower left corner. Don't pull the ribbon taut as it does need to slip over the bottle. Tie a bow or a decorative knot with the ribbon's ends. We pulled the bottom loop of a bow out, leaving only the upper bow loop.  Tip: A little repositionable adhesive, like Hermafix Transfer ®, can be used to keep your stamped label from sliding.
Horizontal Ribbon Placement (up to 4 feet of ribbon used): With the stamped label facing you, start in the upper left corner feeding the ribbon up through the hole, leaving about 9 inches of ribbon in the back of the label.  Using the same end of the ribbon, pull it down through the upper right corner, up through the lower left corner, down through the lower right corner and up through the upper left corner.  The upper corner has ribbon threaded through it twice (we used a threader to accomplish the last bit).  If using 1 yard (3 feet) of ribbon, a decorative knot works well in the corner.  A bow needs closer to 4 feet of ribbon.
Full label style - our example measures 5 1/2" by 11".  You will reduce the width of the 8 1/2" by 11" cardstock to a width that covers your wine bottle label.  Stamp the cover as desired and adhere it to the bottle using double sided adhesive. Tip: A little repositionable adhesive, like Hermafix Transfer ®, can be used to keep your stamped label from sliding.
Candy Bars These little things are great to re-label. If you are using a nice bar of chocolate, you may want to cut the original label down and put it back in place (so it fits under your stamped label) allowing the recipient to know what he/she is getting. Measure the length of the candy bar (in our example it is 6 inches) or use the discarded wrapper as a pattern to make your hand stamped label.  Close the stamped wrapper with either double- sided adhesive or make a coordinating sticker using your Xyron® sticker maker.

Popcorn Packets Place the packet down lengthwise onto a piece of cardstock. Leave 3/4" to 1" on each side of the packet and cut the cardstock lengthwise accordingly.  In our example the cardstock measures 7" x 11". Fold the cardstock up to cover the packet, to determine where to place the folds.  Two decorative brads, a 1/4" in from the cardstock's edge on both sides were used to close the sides.  Alternatively eyelets or double-sided adhesive can be used.  Velcro® was used to close the cover.  Closure variation:  Instead of creating a flap to Velcro, keep the top cardstock edges even, decoratively edge and close with a pull through knot or bow.
