You'll have thousands of visuals that will give you inspiration and confirmation about how your made up basket should look when it's finished.

Work from the middle of your gift basket as you begin to make it up. Lay a background of tissue or fabric, first to unite all elements. Set off individual fillers by wrapping them, fully or partially with the tissue. The basket should look full, festive and pulled together. The final finishing wrap of professional cellophane will polish the look of whatever type of container you choose. Don't worry about not being handy making bows. Simple ties, pre-made bows and curling ribbon can make the baskets look great. No need to overdo any of the ribbon, but you can never have too much colored tissue.

Supplies:

Local arts and craft stores, Target, and fabric stores are your best resources for basket making supplies. Be sure that you have all of your elements in place before you buy the wrapping necessities.

Stick with your theme, go with a plan and you'll be able to make up an anniversary gift basket that you'll be proud to give as a gift. After all, anniversaries are for sharing, and for love. Make sure that your gift basket is filled with love, and sincere best wishes for a long, happy future. Now that's a gift.
