Burr Basket ideas for the holidays

You have probably seen the boo basket that went viral on social media – have you heard of the burr basket? I have always been a fan of making baskets and love to go all out on gift giving. It’s so much fun for me and I love making baskets. I am excited that it has become a trend creating a basket beyond birthdays – for just because. I love seeing the cute ideas for every season – it’s a great way to surprise and delight.

Decorating the boo basket

This is my favorite part! First, let’s start off with the base – the basket! You can think outside of normal wicker basket. You can use a box, bag or even a laundry basket. I have even used a laundry basket to make a gift basket because it allow me to load up even more.

Tips on decorating the boo basket

Create a fun experience to decorate the basket to match the theme to create a more fun experience for the giver and recipient. I created a photo collage around the box and they put the box on a shelf for memories. One of my favorite ways to add a touch of color is to have a letter of their first name with a ribbon attached to each side and wrapped around the basket.

Surebonder to hold the decorations together

These glue sticks can be used to keep your crafts together to ensure your basket doesn’t fall apart. You can glue photos, art and other decorative materials with the Surebonder hot glue gun. In addition, the surebonder hot glue gun and hot glue sticks would make a perfect addition for those that love arts and crafts.

What to include in the burr basket

Winter is the theme – think of warmth and cozy. What are good items that the recipient would love to keep warm? Christmas is around the corner so you can do a cute Christmas theme. Other options are winter or to cater around their interests.

By Artis makeup brushes

By Artis would be a perfect idea when trying to match a theme. Their brushes comes in several different color choices. The Swarovski collection in the Elite Oval 7 adds a touch of expression with their two design choices. I am adoring the bow design out of the two designs. The elite 7 oval Swarovski collection comes in two colors: a stunning blue to match the winter theme and black. The Elite Oval 7 allows you to choose from several shades making it easy to find their favorite color.
