Read on to learn how easy it is to create gorgeous Gift Baskets!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<!--more-->\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Step 1: Choose Your Gift Basket Container<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Shown above are just a few of our favorite <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nashvillewraps.com\/boxes\/gift-basket-boxes\/mc-41\">Gift Basket Containers<\/a>. Nashville Wraps carries literally hundreds of different containers to choose from for building your gift baskets. From colorful Basket Boxes to real Wooden Crates, there&#8217;s something for every occasion.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"618\" src=\"https:\/\/www.nashvillewraps.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/030220-baskets-hero-1024x618.jpg\" alt=\"Gift Basket Containers from Nashville Wraps\" class=\"wp-image-28237\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.nashvillewraps.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/030220-baskets-hero-1024x618.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.nashvillewraps.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/030220-baskets-hero-300x181.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.nashvillewraps.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/030220-baskets-hero-768x463.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.nashvillewraps.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/030220-baskets-hero-1536x927.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www.nashvillewraps.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/030220-baskets-hero-2048x1236.jpg 2048w, https:\/\/www.nashvillewraps.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/030220-baskets-hero-24x14.jpg 24w, https:\/\/www.nashvillewraps.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/030220-baskets-hero-36x22.jpg 36w, https:\/\/www.nashvillewraps.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/030220-baskets-hero-48x29.jpg 48w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Step 2: Add Volume to Your Gift Basket<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Next you want to raise the inside of your basket to display the contents to the best advantage. You can use crumpled up <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nashvillewraps.com\/store-supplies\/kraft-paper-rolls\/p-188\">kraft paper<\/a> in the bottom of your baskets, or one of our handy <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nashvillewraps.com\/boxes\/wholesale-basket-supplies\/p-69\">Basket Benches<\/a>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Step 3: Add Basket Shred<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Once you have a surface to build on, add some colorful <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nashvillewraps.com\/shred\/shredded-paper\/mc-22\">Basket Shred<\/a> to cushion your products.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Step 4: Assemble the Products in Your Gift Basket<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Now for the fun part: Start building your basket presentation, starting with taller items in the back. Tuck small treats and gifts into <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nashvillewraps.com\/packaging-category\/favor-packaging\/mc-54\">Favor Packaging<\/a> like small boxes or organza bags.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"819\" height=\"747\" src=\"https:\/\/www.nashvillewraps.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/030220-2up-categories.jpg\" alt=\"Finish your Gift Basket Presentation with Cello and a Pull Bow\" class=\"wp-image-28238\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.nashvillewraps.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/030220-2up-categories.jpg 819w, https:\/\/www.nashvillewraps.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/030220-2up-categories-300x274.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.nashvillewraps.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/030220-2up-categories-768x700.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.nashvillewraps.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/030220-2up-categories-24x22.jpg 24w, https:\/\/www.nashvillewraps.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/030220-2up-categories-36x33.jpg 36w, https:\/\/www.nashvillewraps.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/030220-2up-categories-48x44.jpg 48w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 819px) 100vw, 819px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Step 5: Secure Everything in Your Gift Basket<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Once you&#8217;re happy with the arrangement of your products, add a little more shred for cushioning between items. If you need to, add some <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nashvillewraps.com\/store-supplies\/glue-dots\/p-191\">Glue Dots<\/a> to keep items in place. Then wrap it all with a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nashvillewraps.com\/cellophane\/basket-bags\/p-246\">Cello Basket Bag<\/a>, a Clear Cello Roll, or Shrink Wrap to protect your creation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Step 6: Top Your Gift Basket with a Bow<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>This is my favorite step! Choose a showy Pull Bow (see how easy they are to use in the video below) or make your own amazing bow creation using some of our beautiful Tulle or Wired Ribbon.
