Instructions for Making Gift Baskets
- Take your basket outside or in a well-ventilated room, and spray with two coats of paint and allow to dry.
- Line the basket with a sheet of tissue paper.
- Crumble enough newspaper to reach almost to the top of the basket.
- Cover the newspaper with another sheet of tissue paper.
- Arrange all the items your have made or bought, in the basket with the largest in the center. Crumble tissue paper around the objects to hold in place. Wrap some of the smaller gifts in tissue paper and tie with curling ribbon for a festive look.
- Sprinkle everything with the metallic shred.
- Sit the basket on a large piece of cellophane at least 12" longer than the top of the basket, and gather at the center top of the handle and secure with a rubber band.
- Take the chenille stems and wind them around a pencil.
- Tie a big bow with your velvet ribbon to hide the rubber band.
- Stick the chenille stems in the center of the cellophane.
- Take your white construction paper and write a big "Happy Birthday" with the marking pens. Punch a hole on the side of the card.
- String two strands of curling ribbon through the hole and tie around the neck of the basket.

Thank you Peachpurple. I was in the biz for many years. And taught many people to make gift baskets.
What a great idea and so much cheaper than buying one, plus it is personal when you make it yourself.
My mother is the queen of gift basket making! Sadly, I don't think I inherited her talent.
