How to Make a Beautiful Flower Girl Basket
A flower girl is a noticeable part of any wedding party. She usually wears the color of the bride and may have curls in her hair and other dainty accessories such as a headpiece or gloves. Her duty in the wedding is to gently throw flower petals on the ground for the bride, as she walks in. The flower girl carries the petals in a small basket customized with decorations such as flowers, ribbons and bows.

Lay the satin on a flat surface with the shiny side down and set the basket on the satin. Attach the satin to the basket by pulling it over the bottom of the basket. Put glue on the inside of the basket just over the top, pull the satin up, and press it on the glued areas. Attach the satin to the basket until you completely cover the bottom of the basket and trim off any excess satin.
