Handmade Birthday Basket

February 26, 2014


Hello dear readers! Thanks a lot for your lovely feedback and constructive criticism concerning my new blog layout, I appreciate this a lot! :)
This post is dedicated to the birthday present I made for my best friend Anja two weeks ago: I wanted to give her several different presents, mostly for her kitchen, plus a handmade voucher for a picnic in summer. Thus, I wanted to pack the presents in a way that the packaging is related to the present itself – the picnic – and fits into her home and can be used like all the other presents for her kitchen.

Because I nowhere found a white basket with handles, I bought one which I had to paint. Thanks to my last cooperations, I still had lots of white edding spray paint left which they once sent me for review and projects and this time, I used this paint to turn the basket white.

At first, I spray painted the inside, then the outside of the basket.

I used wooden skewers, yarn and masking tape to make a bunting and hang it above the basket for a real spring feeling. :)

For the voucher I drew a picnic basket and wrote the text on its back and added some picnic-related illustrations.

Being filled with colorful presents, the basket looked even prettier. :)

Apart from the quality time voucher, Anja got a turquoise teapot by Nordal, a rice dk cup in yellow, white pudding ramekins, organic tea, paper straws via DaWanda and organic flowers seeds. :)



How much I love preparing presents and I even love it more when putting together and wrapping a present after a certain concept like this time with the picnic theme. :)


Happy week!
Lu

    Sieht super aus der Geschenkkorb, jetzt muss es nur noch mal richtig Frühling werden, damit so ein tolles Picknick auch stattfinden kann :)

    Ich stelle auch am liebsten Geschenkkörbe zusammen. Allerdings sind es meist kleine bunte Kisten, die kann ich dann noch einpacken und bestempeln :)

    Schön! Sieht sehr, sehr toll aus und wieder so hübsch farblich abgestimmt – die Thermoskanne ist der Hammer! (: Da hat sich die Anja sicher sehr gefreut, vor allem auch über den tollen Gutschein!

    Alles Liebe,
    Laura

    Ach wie süß… das ist mal ein Geschenkkorb, den auch nicht-Rentner gut finden :DMeistens bekommt man ja erst ein Körbchen, wenn man 66 plus ist…Und wenn es so liebevoll verpackt ist, wie deines dann freut man sich doppelt. Ob 66 oder 21 ;)Liebste Grüße und bis bald,Stefanie
