HOW TO MAKE A GIFT BASKET

Basket or Container

Start with a wicker basket with a handle large enough to hold all of the gifts you want to place in it. You can also use wire baskets , rattan baskets or fabric storage cubes.  Think outside the box and use items like kid’s pails, vintage tin boxes or tool boxes (for Father’s Day, guy’s birthday)!

    Hi Heather,

    Thanks so much for the gift basket instructions! I didn’t know that cellophane bags were even made (I thought I would have to somehow wrap the basket in a sheet of plastic!). Your additional instructions were very helpful. Thanks again!

    Making gift baskets like this is definitely steps the gift giving up a notch. Much cuter than just putting things in a gift bag.
