Step 3
Gather basic scrapbooking supplies: a small scrapbook album, coordinating scrapbook papers and stickers, decorative scissors, adhesive, a few fun embellishments (like brads, eyelets, chipboard letters) and a pen. Choose your scrapbook papers based on your theme.

Step 4
Place the larger scrapbook supplies in the photo box, with the largest items in back. Attach with masking tape, if necessary.

Step 5
Arrange the smaller items in front. Keep some items in their packaging such as brads in a cute glass container but remove distracting packaging such as from the adhesive or scissors.

Step 6
Secure the whole basket by wrapping in shrink-wrap cellophane. Follow the manufacturer's recommendation on shrinking the wrap.

Step 7
Add a large bow to the outside of the package.
