Step 2. Buy the basket after purchasing the one you will put in it
This way, you will know what the right size is.
Step 3. Purchase the necessary items to help you create the basket
They include:
- Tissue paper to fill it. At the base you could use crepe paper to create volume and result in a soft bottom layer.
- Cellophane or cling film to cover the bin.
- Ribbon, glitter and bows to decorate it.
- Transparent adhesive tape to fix the various parts.
- Ticket.
- Cardboard decorated to describe each item or to provide instructions on its use.
Step 4. Consider the predominant color in the basket
You can coordinate colors in relation to the season, an event, such as the birth of a baby, or the recipient's tastes. For example, if you are going to give the basket in the fall, use items in shades of orange, also add flowers of this color or gold to complete it. If you are going to give it in the winter, use cool colors, such as blue or white.
Step 5. Spread the tissue paper to cover the bottom and sides and let it wrap around the edge as well
If you need to make a cushion, add some crepe paper or piled up tissue paper.
Step 6. Lay a folded towel on one side of the basket to make it more artistic
This is an important addition because it emphasizes the purpose of the basket.
Step 7. Arrange all the other items you bought in the basket so that the final result is nice and tidy
You may need to organize your content more than once until you're satisfied, but remember the basic guidelines:
- Larger items on the bottom.
- Smaller items on top.
- All other items whose dimensions are medium should be placed in the center.
- The most interesting articles should be easy to see.
Step 8. Tie some scented items to a bow and arrange it to close the basket
Here are some ideas:
- Cinnamon sticks.
- Dried lavender.
- Bouquet garni.
- Small candles.
-
Candy canes, mints, etc.
