Baskets make wonderful table centerpieces, and they make great gifts,
for holidays, birthdays, or housewarming. You can fill them with just
about anything. This Christmas basket starts with a bed of evergreen boughs.
Fill the basket with ornaments, ribbon, pinecones, strands of beads or
garlands, etc. The basket handle can be decorated with bows and Christmas
florals. The height of this basket made it a great coffee table decoration,
and the handle was high enough to place a candle in the center.
Autumn Basket:
An autumn basket makes a lovely centerpiece for any table. Basket arrangements
like this are especially nice as centerpieces for your Thanksgiving dinner
table. They generally set on the table, so guests can still see eachother
from across the table.
Start with a bed of straw or raffia. Fill the basket about 2/3 of the
way up, so your basket looks full. Place larger items in the basket first,
then arrange the smaller items around them. Finish with the smallest or
most delicate items (fs, wheat, etc.).
This basket contains several ears of mini-corn with the husks still
on, small gourds and pumpkins, some silk autumn leaves, dried yellow mums
and lots of wheat and wild grasses.
