Gift Basket Wrapping Tutorial

The Perfect Gift

One of my favorite ways to give a gift, whether it be for Elle’s friends or as teacher appreciation gifts, is to order a personalized straw basket filled with goodies! These under $10 embroidered Etsy baskets are the perfect go to. I like to order a batch at a time and have on hand for the year so I’m not rushing to put together a fabulous yet affordable gift. Many have asked how I wrap these baskets, so read below to see how easy it is!

Supplies You Need:

• straw basket
• additional gifts inside basket (if any! the basket can be the gift itself)
• tissue paper
• cellophane bag big enough to fit the basket – check measurements if you need to order
• ribbon
• gift tag

How to Wrap a Gift Basket

1. Gather all of your supplies on a flat surface.
2. If you are including any gifts inside the basket, wrap those first if you want. You can always layer enough tissue to hide these gifts if you don’t want to wrap any extra.
3. Stuff the tissue around the inside edges of the basket. The key is to make it look nice and pretty!
4. Put the basket inside the cellophane bag.
5. If your cellophane bag is a little too large, tape up the corners so that it appears as though the bag was made perfectly for the basket.
6. Grab your ribbon and tie a pretty bow!
7. Loop through a gift tag and sign accordingly.

It seems like so many times the holidays catch up to us sooner than we expected and we quickly put together gifts for friends, family and scurry to the store for wrapping paper and ribbons. We may become frustrated when the wrapping doesn’t look perfect, but figure time is the essence, so we better just be satisfied we purchased the gifts on time.

This year, hopefully we can set aside time in advance to actually enjoy wrapping gifts without rushing to cut, tap and tie the bow at the very last minute.

Thank you DREAM skater, Mary Carnal for the gift wrapping tips!

1. You will need wrapping paper, ribbon, scissors, clear tape, and your present!
2. Cut a square of wrapping paper that will be able to completely fold around your gift. Start by wrapping the paper around your gift and securing the sides together with a piece of tape.
3. Next, fold both sides inward on the end of the gift.
4. Fold the top triangle downward.
5. Fold the bottom triangle upward and secure with a piece of tape. Repeat steps 3-5 on the other side!
6. Cut a piece of ribbon long enough to wrap around your gift.
7. Tie a bow at the top! 🎁
