DIY Gift Basket

Happy Fall Everyone!

Today I will be giving you guys a short tutorial on how to make a gift basket. These nifty things can go for any occasion and are a great way to put thoughtful presents for your loved ones. I was getting tired of giving the same old cliché gifts and wanted to try something different. Thank God for Pinterest, I was able to find many ideas on how to make my own DIY project. I incorporated some of my own idea's with this project as I went along putting it together. Since my friend was turning 20, I decided to get 20 things that describe her in a way/things she likes. Honestly, I believe that making something for someone with your own hands and incorporating little details that only stand out to them makes it a memorable and cherishable gift. It shows how much time and effort you put in for them and gives it a whole new meaning. Alright, enough of the blabbing... let's move on to the tutorial!

Supplies:
  • Basket (I got mine from Michael's and they have tons of choices)
  • Transparent Gift Wrap (Color: Red)
  • Bow (Color: Purple) <--- her favorite color
Steps:
  • Go out and buy some things to fill up your basket. You can even make some gifts on your own, e.g., bake something, sketch, draw, put together a CD of their favorite music, picture frame, etc
  • Once your basket is filled with goodies, take the transparent gift wrap and cover your items while tucking the wrap inside the basket
  • Lastly, compliment your basket with a bow to complete the project
Good luck and don't be afraid to e-mail me how yours turned out.

Enjoy!
Till next time,
