If you do not have any container available in your home, be sure to buy all other supplies before buying your container so that you will know which size is most appropriate.

Next you’ll need fillers. Fillers are the stuff found at the basket’s bottom that acts as the base, which raises the gifts. They are also used for filling spaces in between the gifts to prevent the gifts from moving around. You can use tissue paper as filler — tissue paper comes in sheets and different colors. You can also use newspaper as the base filler, just be sure to cover it with a layer of thin tissue since the ink from newspapers can rub off. Often used fillers are shredded papers.

These are films of transparent plastic that is used to wrap the basket then when heat is applied to it; it will shrink to create a snug-fitting seal. This too comes in assorted colors and tints. Another wrap you can use are tulle netting. This is sheer and fine and is the same netting that is often used in veils.
