Finished baskets!!

snipzychick

I can confirm that the large felt gift bags in poundland are the perfect size for hampers. After searching all round my town this morning my dh suggested looking in there:rolleyes:

I knew i should have checked on this thread first

I bought 6, they are red with green felt xmas trees on the front with a pull-tie top.

Ok I have finished 2 of 4 hampers so far, am going to attempt to post the pics on here, they are sons girlfriends parents hamper and my best friends hamper, I just hope she doesnt find this post else she will know what she is getting !! 3rd hamper is nearly done, just need to buy a mug for some chocs to go in and 4th hamper is empty at the moment lol

Any advice/feedback/suggestions VERY welcome and always greatly appreciated

Now just got to hope these post ok on here

My friends




My sons girlfriends parents The fleece takes up most of the space even though this is a deep largeish basket, so I was kinda stuck for room lol

Both look good but I particularly love the drinks one, it looks really professional. Would love to get these for Xmas but nobody will be making one for me I'm sure :-( Ho hum.

This is "German theme basket" is for my brother n SIL have some more bits to get, and will no doubt end up doing a re jig of everything...

will price everything up in a moment and see how much it comes too... lets see if the pic appears first

I adore this, where did you get all of the German bits please? I was planning on doing something similar for my Dad but stuck where to buy things like this in the UK? Hope you can help

Silverangel - I love the tinsel round the edges - that's so pretty!!! Such a good idea - was wondering how to make mine look more sparkly and less country, and now I know!

Hi there

D4wno...im just about to PM you

I've just done two of mine but as baskets are quite deep I'm struggling to get contents pushed up to the top so you can see there are items in there! I did put cardboard in the bottom and then put items in put it didn't hold . I did think of a towel but that would push the price up and I have already spent quite a bit.

If anyone has any other suggestions I would be very grateful -thanks .
