How To Use Paper to Stuff a Gift Basket

Video Transcript

"Hi I'm Rachel Fish from Incredible Editable for Expert Village okay so now I'm going to show you how we stuff the basket so that if we don't want to fill it up all the way to the bottom with food we can still make it look very full and come out with a beautiful basket at the end. So we're going to take the grass which is if you notice the same basic color it's a neutral color just as the basket, I would use white or blue or some grand color for this type of basket that I'm doing. And we take it and we have to take the stuffing and stuff it in as much as possible, we don't want it to be sticking up on top of the basket we basically want it to come to the rim of the basket, so that the food will not sink in and that it will still look beautiful and full and the person who get sit will feel like there getting very plentiful amount of foods in the basket, which they are. But we're just not filling we're not putting the food all the way to the bottom where keeping we're keeping the grass over here to the rim of the basket. After you have it filled to the rim we just go through to make sure that they're aren't any spaces because when we're putting the food after wards we don't want the foods to sink down, we want it all to be able to be level and even and look beautiful. Now I choose this neutral color grass because for doing an elegant basket I wouldn't want to use the green or the blue or some sort of different type of color, because I want to keep the color within the color scheme that we're using. Now if I was doing a children's basket grass comes in all different colors you can get it in red, you can get in green, you can get it in yellow so I would color coordinate it. Let's say I'm doing a baby boy basket I could use blue grass over here which eventually stick out especially if I'm using a blue teddy bear, and a blue bib and a blue toy for a baby and some blue food I could obviously use blue and I wouldn't have enhance the color of the basket. But keeping in the scheme that we're doing here today which is quit elegant we're going to use the neutral colored grass."
