AboutRenee Aun Expertise I know a little bit about cordage and basic basket weaves. My knowledge of cordage also includes how to make natural cordage.
Since no expert is here, I'll try to help until someone wiser than myself comes along.

Question Hi, My Name is
Victoria.
I'm working on a school project that entails giving needy families food baskets on a monthly basis. I was wondering if you can give me some ideas on how i can decorate these baskets. I think i'm going to wrap the baskets in wrapping paper and use ribbon to tie it up.
Please give me some ideas if not i will keep looking.
thanks

Answer Hello Victoria,
What a wonderful idea! The wrapping paper would work. You could also use some type of see through plastic wrap. Just set the basket in the middle of it and pull the plastic up around the sides and tie it above the basket with a nice ribbon. You could always use a hole punch on a small gift card or note and tie that to the ribbon also.
There are also places online where you can buy bags that are made to fit gift baskets. Or you can try using a plastic wrap from the grocery store.
The wrapping paper is nice, buy if you can't see through it, then no one can appreciate looking at the lovely basket and it's yummy contents!
Goo our wonderful and giving venture! I hope I was a bit of help.
