I just bought some of these from this seller as very reasonable. Charges additional 20p per pack of bows so I got 10 bows for £3.10.

I have posted this on another thread and I honestly have no connection with this seller just wanted to pass on what I had found. :beer:

i buy these by the box of 20 from a local warehouse for 1.99, so if she is selling them at 20p each she will she is making a canny profit on each box, i may look into it lol

Just got my cellophane from hobby craft 20 metres for £3.49.

got no idea how i use it though was looking for ideas do i use it like wrapping paper and stick it or do i bunch it up round and tie with a bow???

I unroll my cellophane and put the hamper on top and pull it up on all sides until I can be sure it all joins in a nice high peak, I know then that I have allowed enough and cut the length. I then make sure that the front is nice and smooth with no joins and gather all the cellophane at the top, folding in at the back and sides to make it as neat as possible.
Holding all where you want the cellophane to meet use some clear cellotape to hold it together with the remainder sticking up above your hand. You can then decorate this area with ribbons etc and/or stick a fake flower down into the twist of cellophane to stick out the top and provide more decoration.
Last year I then wrapped mine over the top of the cellophane up until the ribbons/bows leaving the cellophane at the top as a "grab handle".

I also did a hamper where I covered it over the top with cellophane and taped it all together underneath so it was nice an smooth all over without any excess cellophane used. I then decorated with with a ribbon bow at one corner which was tied round underneath aswell.

Not the easiest to follow Angelrae but hopefully you will find a suitable way of wrapping yours - a bit of trial and error to start with but you will get there.
