Teddy Bear Baskets

Are you looking for a gift for someone special? What better than a Teddy Bear Basket. It can be bought or made by your very own fair hands. A wonderful way to send something personal that has been created or chosen especially by you. A gift for the very young  right through to grandparents of all ages.
Teddy bears come in all colours and sizes and can be matched up with accessories to mark any special occassion. A new born, birthday, valentine, a missed love one, an apoplgy......there are countless reasons to send a Teddy Bear Basket.



Here are some useful tips for making your own Teddy Bear Basket.

  1. When choosing your basket think about the depth and width. Make sure it is high enough that nothing will fall out. Will you require a handle.
  2. You will need a filling like shredded paper. This could be in a neutral colour or red for example for Valentine. Make sure to stuff it well. It will help to hold everything in place and stop smaller items from sinking out of sight.
  3. Place your teddy bear and accessories into the basket. Play around with them until you get your desired affect.
  4. You will need a piece of cellophane large enough to wrap round the entire basket tying at the top. This can be done with a staple gun.
  5. You will need at least two ribbons. One to be wrapped round the tied point of cellophane. Hanging down the front of the basket. Once again, staple the point where they cross. With the other ribbon make a folding bow. Staple onto the first ribbon in front of the stapled area.
  6. Here you have your finished Teddy Bear Basket which you can personalise with a small gift card.
