This is the basket I'm going to decorate. Get a basket with holes. It's easier to work with. Lay it with tissue.

Top view of the handle. The tissue helps to avoid things from falling out (if any). Preferably, put any candy in organza bags. This is an open concept basket :)

Use a twisty tie to secure them. Cover your tracks with a large ribbon and make a double bow. This one is loosely done to show you how it's done.

For the handle, take some plastic cherry blossoms and secure them on using a twisty tie. Try to space the flowers out.

I had to do many for a Chinese New Year charity sale. They are usually sold out very quickly. We fill it with biscuits, tea & candy. See above, the stalks of plastic flowers.

This was the final sea of beautiful baskets that we got. They will be sold and the proceeds are going to charity. Hope this inspires some ideas!
