Gift Basket

Perfect Present for Mum

https://www.cutoutandkeep.net/projects/gift-basket-2 • Posted by Jackkie

I used online tutorials but you can buy the items. To make a bigger basket, perhaps add a soap, lip balms, perfume or cleanser. I used red and green because I made this as a christmas present, pink and white would be a cute alternative.

    Bath Salts Tutorial : http://voices.yahoo.com/how-green-tea-bubble-bath-3603975.html?cat=69 I used an olive oil soap and substituted green tea powder for coconut milk powder at a ratio of 150g:50g. I realise the tutorial says that this is bubble bath, but I tested a small bit and found that mine was not very bubbly.

    Cut the tissue paper into rectangles and place in the basket. Arrange items in the basket. To wrap, lay 2 sheets of cellophane down below the basket, gather together and tie with a ribbon.
