| An ALDI display of Christmas sweater wine bottle covers |
A couple of weeks ago, while shopping at my favorite discount grocer, ALDI, I saw the above display of Christmas sweater wine bottle covers. Initially, I was only going to buy one because I am on a self-imposed spending budget, but my enabling husband was with me and said, "get three." I really only wanted one, but it doesn't take much to enable me, so I chose the following three.

| I chose two Santa wine bottle covers and one with a Christmas tree design. |
Using an Ultra-fine-tipped brown Sharpie, I did change the complexion of the Santas to brown, as illustrated above. Only one of these was supposed to be a gift, but I gave both brown Santa-themed Christmas sweaters away. I went back to ALDI later the same week and all were g-o-n-e! I even checked another ALDI, but none were there. Oh well... it's not like I needed any because I have purchased several Christmas sweater ornaments and Christmas sweater wine bottle covers in the past, many of which have yet to be used. I also still have the Christmas tree one from ALDI.
The ALDI wine bottle covers measure 7 inches in length from the neckline to the hem and 5 inches from shoulder to shoulder. The actual shoulder length is about 4-1/2 inches. I knew these would probably fit a 14- to 16-inch doll. I chose the following doll to model the one I kept.

In the future, should I find other Santa sweaters (ornaments or wine bottle covers), I now know I can use a brown Sharpie to colorize as opposed to painting, which I have done in the past, as seen in this photo.
Here is a link to past Christmas sweater ornament posts.
