How to make a romantic gift basket:

STEP 1 - Glue in the base with a hot glue gun.

STEP 2 - Arrange your gift basket items, with the tallest items placed at the back of the basket. Push them into the Styrofoam, if necessary, to secure them or tie them to the basket itself using cable ties. Repeat this process with smaller items placed toward the front.

STEP 3 - Fill in empty spots with basket fill and insert a few artificial flowers into the Styrofoam to add visual interest.

STEP 4 - Use wire ribbon to add a pretty bow to the front of your romantic gift basket.

STEP 5 - Your gift is finished at this point, but if you would like to add one more finishing touch, you can cover the gift with shrink wrap to contain all the items and give your homemade gift baskets a professional look.
