Flower Girl Baskets - DIY Tutorial #7

I finally got my rear in gear and finished an easy DIY.

For supplies:

2 flower girl baskets

Yellow Grosgrain Ribbon

Hot glue gun + sticks

Fake flora

Instructions:

If your flower girl baskets are shoddy quality (like mine unknowingly were!) secure any loose panels/handles with hot glue and apply light pressure.

Next, practice placing the ribbon on your basket so that it will lay flat all the way around. Place a dot of hotglue in the center of the front and attach your ribbon there. Add a glue spot to the middle of each side while you wrap your ribbon around it to make sure it's secure.

Next, make your bow stylistically. Meaning: don't make a real bow, just one that looks supernatural-perfect.

So first make a little loop and secure it with glue. Then cut a piece to cover the middle. Then position it so it is perfectly in the middle. Wrap the edges and secure them with hot glue.

You should have something like this:

Then just glue this guy onto the basket ribbon.

So cute!!! Not quite done, though. Add some fake flora (not too much!!!) and you're good to go. I'm storing mine in the bags they came in so that they stay nice and safe! Plus it recycles the bags!
