Tulle Gift Basket

Gift Basket Wrapped in Tulle

Go the extra mile and show that special someone you really care by putting in some extra time and wrapping it in tulle. At one point in time we’ve all wanted to try it, so now here’s your chance with the one fabric that makes everything better.

Follow along with these steps and watch your masterpiece come to life.

What you need:

- 1 wide roll of tulle (nylon tulle, silk tulle, or shimmery tulle can be used)

- scissors

- transparent tape

- and of course a gift basket for that special someone

Step 1:

Find a flat surfaced table and unroll the tulle from your body outwards, making sure that it doesn’t fall off the table though. Now place your basket  directly in the center of the unrolled tulle to get the right size. Do so by pulling one end of the tulle above the handle of the basket (because that’s the highest point) then center the gift basket on the tulle. Next you want to bring the other end of the tulle up to same height as the other one that you’re currently holding. Once both ends of the tulle are to a satisfactory length then cut the one end of the tulle from the roll.

Step 2:

Begin to gather all of the fabric at the very top of the basket or the handle and pull it very snug so that it fits completely around the basket.

Step 3:

Now put some transparent tape around the gathered tulle to help hold it in place. Now do sort of semi-hem of the tulle and seal it with some tape so you can then pull the back piece of the tulle towards the front of the basket and pull the front piece of the tulle towards the back of the basket. Tape both of these to the side of the basket. This is to give the packaging a nice and neat finish along the handle of the basket.

Step 4:

Place a bow at the very top along with some other garnishings such as flowers or something.

Tulle Gift Wrapping with Ribbon

A great inexpensive way to liven up any gift is with tulle and some imagination of course. While some people go for the store bought ribbons or stick-on bows, the use of tulle as a gift topper is becoming more and more popular. It’s very easy to do and only takes a few minutes to complete a gift.

There are 2 basic approaches to completing this project, one is that you wrap the gift with some tulle, tie it in place and then place a tulle bow on top or you can wrap the gift using one longer piece of tulle that will leave you enough room at the end of it to make the bow. I personally suggest the former, it’s just easier to work with that way. You wouldn’t want that wholesale tulle you bought to go to waste now would you?

Whatever the case, you will always end with a package wrapped in tulle that will light up any room. Try this at the next event you go to and watch everyone marvel over the packaging…as they should icon smile Tulle Gift Wrapping
