Process

Give your Savéol baskets a second life with this little tutorial :

 

  1. Paint the entire basket with two layers of the desired colour, using either spray paint or a brush.

  2. Cut out ten or so small stars, or other shapes, using thick, coloured paper. It’s a good idea to make small holes using a hole punch or a compass.

  3. Thread the stars onto a string about 25cm long to make a garland that will encircle your basket (remember to knot it securely).

  4. Stick a small piece of cardboard to one of the small stars to finish personalising your basket (use as a name tag or match it to the colours/theme of your table).

  5. Place a piece of tissue paper in the bottom, then fill your basket with little surprises: Tea, sweets, chocolates, etc.
