You have probably seen the boo basket that went viral on social media – have you heard of the burr basket? I have always been a fan of making baskets and love to go all out on gift giving. It’s so much fun for me and I love making baskets. I am excited that it has become a trend creating a basket beyond birthdays – for just because. I love seeing the cute ideas for every season – it’s a great way to surprise and delight.
Decorating the boo basket
This is my favorite part! First, let’s start off with the base – the basket! You can think outside of normal wicker basket. You can use a box, bag or even a laundry basket. I have even used a laundry basket to make a gift basket because it allow me to load up even more.
Tips on decorating the boo basket
Create a fun experience to decorate the basket to match the theme to create a more fun experience for the giver and recipient. I created a photo collage around the box and they put the box on a shelf for memories. One of my favorite ways to add a touch of color is to have a letter of their first name with a ribbon attached to each side and wrapped around the basket.
