Packed with many neat ideas, here are two of many: Want to get a hard to peel label off? Slide any food based oil on it overnight and it will peel right off the next day. Want to get permanent marker off a smooth surface like a jar? hair spray will do the trick.
SAMPLE THEMES with photos include:
BABY, COFFEE TIME, THE TEA ROOM, GOLD COLLECTION, FALL PRESENTATION, CHRISTMAS COLLECTION, HAPPY BIRTHDAY! OFFICE PARTY, LUXURY BATH, GARDENER’S DELIGHT, PASTA BASKET, PICNIC BASKET, to name a few, but most importantly "How to Make a Bow," although the author does say she prefers large pull bows because they are predictable, beautiful and usually under one dollar. Most bows take 3 yards of ribbon and that can get expensive if the first one does not come out well. Still, it is important any gift basket maker know how to make a bow from scratch.
Other free advice? Yes. The tendency to buy a lot of product in the initial excitement of making gift baskets can become costly. I show how to avoid that and what to focus on, as well as concepts such as; "It is better to have a small basket look full than to have a large basket look barren." My earliest work was with only large baskets and I learned that required four times more product and I spent a lot of money in the initial excitement on items I never ended up using.
Good Luck! Author: Deborah Dolen
