Finished baskets!!

This isn't a basket or hamper but posting anyway, hope you don't mind . It's a cute tin from Whittard (£2.50 was half price) with a pink flannel cupcake and 4 little bottles Johnson and Johnsons products (that were free from filling in an online survey). Nice cheapie pressie

I realise now posting this that you can't see the contents as I covered with my homemade shredded tissue - d'oh :rolleyes:

Morning rainmac Parcel paper sounds better doesn't it? Boots send loads when you order online lol, but my oh 'killed' the shredder through overworking it and I ended up scrunching cellophane yesterday But it was what I'd practised with, so it wasn't suitable for much else Great for packing tho'

Has anyone successfully shredded cellophane?

I thought shredded cello was a fab idea Passion but tried it tonight and my shredder didn't shred it al all. Could be my shredder is blunt as we've had it ages...?

Rainmac, it could well be the thickness or rather lack of thickness on the cellophane and also the weight? some papers/thicknesses tend to go through easier? Can you fold it up a bit and see if that helps?

Fantastic hampers as always, love the whittard tin! looks fab .. my address is 31 co....

Well done to everyone making hampers, they look great! Sophiesmum that gardening one you have done is fantastic and looks jam packed!!!
