Decorate, create, and give with love—or start a successful home business: that’s what crafters can do with this jazzy, snazzy guide to putting together the perfect gift basket. Written by Marie Browning, author of the best-selling Jazzy Jars, it’s not only filled with a variety of techniques for decorating the baskets—painting, découpage, adding a no-sew fabric lining—but presents a wealth of ideas for selecting, assembling, and creatively packaging lovely gifts to place inside. Choose from more than two dozen themes for every occasion, including Celebration Baskets for life’s special moments; Thank You Baskets; Food Baskets, with ideas for preparing an entire meal; and many more.
Customer Review: Jazzy Gift Baskets: Making & Decorating Glorious Presents
I really enjoyed this book, there we great ideas and beautiful photos of the completed basket. My only complaint (if I should call it that) is that there is so much homemade things. As A new business I am concerned about putting homemade items such as cookies, breads, soaps and bath stuff due to legal issues.
Customer Review: Great Ideas for Basket Designs
"Eye candy" was my initial impression as I slowly consumed this book. Like me, you'll be pleased with the visuals that encourage you to start making gift baskets right away.
Browning introduces you to the "tools of the trade" and then shares ideas for different touches to add to the basket before filling it with gifts and snacks. This is mainly a technique for hobbyists, as professional gift basket designers have little time to embellish each vessel. The bowmaking tutorial is also a plus.
There are many recipes found throughout the book. Most of us enjoy adding homemade items when making gift baskets for fun, rather than just adding products found through wholesale sources, the main focus when making them for profit.
You'll love the designs -- especially pamper, baby bath, and housewarming -- three regularly-requested themes in the gift basket industry.
