Pop Tab Wine Bag

[cavewmn]

I want to make a pop tab wine bag. This will be a gift for my sister in law. 



What should I use to hold it all together? I'm afraid everyday yarn wouldn't hold up for long. I would like to make this sturdy and long lasting. 

Any ideas?

I would hands-down use wire (which is what it appears was used in the photo), especially to maintain the completely metallic look as well as provide the rigidity and strength. The way the top part forms to the bottle slightly, I would think you would need to do a hidden elastic layer and attach the tabs in that section to each other in a way that can flex, otherwise it would need some type of opening method; alternatively, you could just do straight sides - easiest but not as snug.

I think the picture looks like a dark gray floss. Not the embroidery kind that comes apart easily but the stuff that doesn't like is used for friendship bracelets.
