When you receive a gift hamper, you most likely end up wondering what you should do with the basket. You might end up stashing it inside a cabinet and you might even forget about it. Instead of letting a beautiful basket go to waste, why not repurpose it and give it a romantic touch for Valentine\u2019s Day?
\nOne of the main advantages of repurposing a gift basket is the fact that you can save money and, secondly, you are avoiding unnecessary clutter in your home. They also make it easy to wrap gifts since, all you will need to do is arrange all the items and wrap some clear wrapping paper around the basket and top it with a bow.
\nIf you have a basket that is a bit old and possibly faded, you can make it look great again in a few easy steps. You will need to dust and clean your basket first. Next, you can apply a stain or clear varnish to give your basket a new look.
\nAnother way of giving your hamper basket a new look is by painting it. You can choose one colour or multiple colours if you prefer. Pink and white, for example, look lovely together. You could even stain or varnish the basket before weaving a red ribbon in between for a change in colour and texture. Once you have chosen the colour and colour scheme for your basket, you can then choose some accessories. Some accessories include hearts and cupids. Invest in a few decorations and make sure that you secure them to the basket with some thin wire.
\nIf the basket has a handle or two, you should think about adding extra colour to the handles without making it difficult to hold or carry the basket. Ribbons are great for this exact purpose.
\nAnother alternative, if your basket is in less than perfect shape, you could cover it with paper mache and decorate it as you please. One option is to paint the basket once dry. Alternatively, you could make copies of photos and use these pictures to cover the basket. This will make it a truly personal gift!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
