Diy Paper Wine Container

You can make a DIY paper wine container from objects that you have at home. A paper wine container isn't good for transporting wine, but it can be a fun way to drink wine around the house or a fun trick for parties. If you don't have wine glasses, or don't want to drink out of ordinary glasses, try some paper wine containers. Gerald Russe, who maintains an art gallery and wine store in Vermillion, S.D., lists some fun paper wine container ideas for your enjoyment.


Paper and Wax Paper


Create a paper wine container out of paper and wax paper. The paper will create the actual wine container, and the wax paper will help to seal the paper so it doesn't leak and spill your wine. To make a paper and wax paper wine container, take a large sheet of paper and pull out a square of wax paper that is exactly the same size. Fold the paper into a cone shape by rolling one of the corners into the middle of the sheet of paper, and continue to roll the paper into a cone. Use a piece of tape to seal the cone so it doesn't fall apart. Then make a cone in the same manner out of the wax paper. Seal that cone with tape and fit it inside of the paper cone. Don't worry about the fact that the wax paper cone might stick out of the top of the paper cone. You can now sip your wine out of a paper container, but be aware--you can't set the cone down while you are drinking because it will tip over.








Wine Bag


Make a wine bag in almost the same manner, using paper and wax paper. Cut a large piece of white paper, probably three times the size of a standard 8-by-10 sheet. Cut wax paper in the exact same size. Pull one edge of the paper up onto the corresponding edge, without making a hard fold at the bottom. It should look like a folded-over taco. You should have two open edges, and the top should also be open. Make a hard fold about one-eighth of an inch in on both of the long sides. Then line the paper bag with a wax paper folded in the same manner. This makes a fun wine bag to carry along with you, but keep in mind that it isn't very economical, because the wine will probably leak out when you try to use it.
