hamper/cellophane help!

nicolax

hi, tried looking for this but couldnt find anything
just did a rough trial of settin up/wrapping my hampers (make sure i havent forgotten anything so i dont panic last minute!) and just realised cant get the cellophane to wrap around it

i am using plastic shoeboxes as my hamper boxes, and have bought a 12m tube of cellophane off ebay (probably around a meter in width)

just tried to wrap the hampers and the short edges dont fit over the baskets, which arent that big! how do you all do it? diagonally or use two pieces?

thought its easier to work this out and get it sorted now rather than the week before christmas when i wrap everything and dont have much time to sort out any alternatives!!

any help would be greatly appreciated!

Try two pieces, one this way ^^^^^^ and one this way >>>>>>>

Once it's bundles up, you can't tell that there are two pieces.

oooh thank you - was gunna try that but didnt know if it'd bulk it up too much
this is my first time making hampers so want them to be perfect! lol x

I agree, use 2 pieces.

If you struggle, your local florist will probably 'sell' you a few large pieces off a roll. If you buy some flowers, they will
more than likely be free.
