AnjieBurdett Posted November 9, 2007 Share Posted November 9, 2007 OK, this is the bit I hate - cellowrap was sent to this earth just to drive me insane *lol* Any hints and tips on doing this would be very much appreciated.Before wrapping .............after wrapping. Does this look ok?And lastly, this one hasn't been wrapped yet (I am going to have to attempt this one drunk I think )TIA. Anjie,x.P.S. Should I include the baby in the basket??

lindanelson Posted November 9, 2007 Share Posted November 9, 2007 I think you did a great job wrapping the first basket. Good luck with the second one.Should I include the baby in the basket?? Naaa....keep the baby. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
southern.scents Posted November 9, 2007 Share Posted November 9, 2007 Your baskets look really nice. I can't stand cellophane. Sometimes I will end up with a roll where the cello is just a little bit thicker and it always takes me forever to get it just right. Thats what I get for not buying cello from the same place everytime. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gingerinarkansas Posted November 9, 2007 Share Posted November 9, 2007 Very nice packaging and I love your candles. Ginger Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
berrycreekcandles Posted November 9, 2007 Share Posted November 9, 2007 looks great! I use the shrink wrap basket bags. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grama Posted November 9, 2007 Share Posted November 9, 2007 I also use the basket bags. If you get the right cello they look nice also. Certain ones though call for shrink wrap bags. Yeah - you can send the baby with mine, especially if a boy. My granddaughters need a little boy!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ForHisGlory Posted November 9, 2007 Share Posted November 9, 2007 The candles and packaging look great! I'm fixin' to have to wrap some boxes with lids myself and would be anxious to see how you accomplish that! Keep the baby!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NattyCat Posted November 9, 2007 Share Posted November 9, 2007 how about standing the basket ON the plate for that last one - then you don't have a great big plate sticking up - making it easier to wrap? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Burnt Mill Posted November 9, 2007 Share Posted November 9, 2007 in my the gift basket making class I took last weekthe teacher said that things like that plate standing up makes a great backwall. It also gives you a high point for the cello and the place to put the bow.or her other suggestion would be to ditch the basket and just use the plate to hold the stuffyours look nice, great colors Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scented Posted November 9, 2007 Share Posted November 9, 2007 how about standing the basket ON the plate for that last one - then you don't have a great big plate sticking up - making it easier to wrap?I think she wants a drink lol!Do you guys get shrink wrap over there? I've always hated cello, thus I don't do gift baskets any more because it ticks me off so, but that shrink wrap just might be the answer.

TwinMom Posted November 9, 2007 Share Posted November 9, 2007 Your candles look great! So do your baskets. I love those plates, where did you find those? I would suggest ditching the basket in the second basket and just use the plate as well. Cello is a pain in the ass, I had to wrap 2 HUGE baskets for a wedding, NOT FUN, I think I made up my own swear words for that one!!!

AnjieBurdett Posted November 9, 2007 Author Share Posted November 9, 2007 I found the baskets and the plates .... and the stones at a shop called Wilkinsons, its a fab shop here in the UK. The plates and baskets were just £1.49 each and the bags of stones are 99p each! So its a cheap christmas for me *lol* - but I don't want them to look cheap.I looked at that ebay link - a bit dear really - and I don't mean dear for shrinkwrap I mean its dear when I have gotten 3 x 100meter rolls of polypro wrap for £29...... although shrink wrap does sound soo easy I need to keep my costs down. I might try the last one without the basket just to see what it looks like, thanks for that tip Natty and TwinMom!Anjie,x. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

celicagtca Posted November 10, 2007 Share Posted November 10, 2007 I would place all your candle products on the plates and wrap em up. They'll have a classier look without the basket. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jakalex Posted November 10, 2007 Share Posted November 10, 2007 I think it looks great but this might be an easier alternative if that way frustrates you.[ATTACH]13675[/ATTACH]I always get frustrated trying to do them the other way so I prefer doing them this way.
