Gift Basket Ornament Instructions

One year my daughter had a gift basket business, and that Christmas she made these tiny versions to be an ornament. Buy a tiny basket from the craft store (hers is 2.5 inches wide and 3 inches tall). Fill it with fine shreds of paper as a filler. On top lay miniature items (this one has a mini wheel barrow and fruit and veggies). Optionally, you may want to hot glue these to anchor them in place. Cut a square of clear, printed cellophane about 11" x 11". Put the basket in the center and draw the 4 corners above the basket handle. Tuck in all edges and secure with a curly-ribbon bow (see picture). Trim the excess cellophane on top until it looks good. Attach a hanging loop to the back of the ribbon. This little ornament would make a cute party favor for a baby or wedding shower, or it could represent an Easter basket.
