How to decorate a basket for a wedding?

Now we turn to the most interesting part - decorating the basics. In fact, there are no restrictions, so you can give free rein to your imagination. Decor can be purchased, or you can arrange decoration of the basket for the wedding with your own hands.

Here is our decoration option:

1. Glue the beads to the lace ribbon at an equal distance from each other, then sew it to the edge of the basket.
2. Wrap the handle with beads; it is desirable that the beads match in color with those that are sewn to the lace.
3. Also tie bows of ribbon to the base of the handle.

Important! Additionally, for decor, you can glue artificial flowers.

Second way

For the second method you will need:

• A small basin made of plastic.
• Atlas.
• Wire.
• Synthetic winterizer.
• Organza.
• Glue gun.
• Tulle "spider web".
• Lace.
• Scissors.
• Satin ribbons.

Your actions:

1. First you need to make holes in the basin, through which we fix the handles. An ordinary knife or scissors will not work. It is necessary to heat the awl and, as soon as possible, before it has cooled, make these very holes.
2. Now move on to creating the pen. To do this, fold the rope three times and flash. Glue it to the wire, but so that the ends remain intact.
3. For the decor of the pen we use the atlas. To do this, cut a thick strip, fold it in half and stitch it. Turn out the resulting strip and put it on the handle.
4. Process the ends of the organza with fire from a lighter or candle. This is necessary so that they do not crumble. Be careful not to burn material.
5. After doing the same steps with organza as with the atlas - cut the strip, fold it in half and sew. Put it on the middle of the handle.
6. Before lining a basket with a cloth, you need to paste over it with a synthetic winterizer. The inside should be taller. It needs to be folded in several layers, until you get a certain side.
7. Pass the handle through the holes in the pelvis and tuck the edges of the wire. If they are long, then you can trim the excess with the help of wire cutters.
8. The next step is to work with the fabric. Cut three identical circles from the atlas, synthetic winterizer and a spider line. Fold them together and iron them.
9. From the atlas, cut a strip that is slightly higher in height than the pelvic wall (allowances for seams). Sew a strip and a circle between each other.Glue the resulting to the outside of the base. Repeat the steps and stick already to the inside.
10. Sew a strip of organza around the edges of the basket.
11. Lace can also be sewn on top.

Third way

For the third method you will need:

• A sugar bowl in the shape of a heart.
• Fatin.
• Atlas.
• Beads
• Organza flowers - you can buy ready-made, but you can do it yourself.
• Scissors.
• Glue gun.
• Foldable strip of wood or iron.

Master Class:

1. When all the necessary items are ready, start creating a basket with a handle. To do this, slant the satin strip prepared for the handle obliquely.
2. Attach the pen to the walls of the basket, put a piece of newspaper or plain paper at the bottom.

Your wedding attribute is ready!
