This basket is available in natural wicker (code 75-8276) and dark stained wicker ( 75-8277). It's an ideal size for:
2 average size bottles of wine or
1 bottle of wine with cheese and biscuits or
3 average size jars of pickles, preserves or chutneys |
 |
Select your products. Make sure your happy they'll fit. We've used 2 small bottles of wine, with cheeses and biscuits. |
 |
Use a little packing shred to co-ordinate your products and give some texture and colour. Approximately 70-75g per basket should be enough. Neaten the overhanging strands. |
 |
Check you're happy with the positioning of the products and they are secure. Look at the overall height too to make sure that they are evenly placed.
|
 |
Straighten up the bag and flatten any big crinkles. If it's neat before you shrink, it should be neat after! Gather the shrink bag at the top and add a couple of plumes of cellophane to give some height, and secure it tightly so it doesn't unravel when shrinking. |
 |
Using a hairdryer heat the end of the basket opposite the secured end. Keep the hairdryer moving so it doesn't get too hot in one place too quickly or you will melt a hole in the bag. Then move on to the sides then the base. |
 |
The last side of the basket to shrink is the secured end. Go over this end gently. |
 |
Once all the sides and base have been finished, the very last place to shrink is the front. This should already be quite taut, so a few seconds should be enough.
Add a pull bow and curl the ribbons for an inexpensive but effective finish.
Trim up the edges of the raffia and straighten the bow. Voila! |
