Basket Ideas?

Question

Anybody know a good website where they have ideas on how to decorate a basket?

I'm going to fill it with some stuff and then give it to my sister as her Christmas present.

Answer 1

I am going to asume that the basket that you have is pretty plain.... First I'd do a "dry run" and put all the stuff in the basket to see how it all looks. Does the basket really need accents? If you feel that it still does you can do many things, like paint it with spray paint (first a base coat of a color that pulls colors from what your putting inside than a light coat of either gold or silver to give it some extra shine) or you can go to a craft store and pick some small dried flowers (or flower buch,or even the picks that have small "presents" and bells on them) and hot glue them on. The link below is a great web site that can give you some ideas also...

Answer 2

I do this every year for our friends. Fill the basket with your items, then wrap in cellophane (found at craft stores). Leave enough at the top of the basket to tie a big bow around. There are several types of cellophane for baskets so you are not just limited to clear. Match the bow to the tissue/shredding that you are using to fill the basket.
