Decorating Possibilities:

• Line the bottom of the basket with a baby blanket. Allow one or two corners of the blanket to hang over the edge of the container.

• Use yellow, pink and blue tissue to make “puffs” between the items in the basket.

• Wrap the basket with yellow, pink or blue tulle.

• Take a cloth diaper (or make a fake one out of paper), fold it into a triangle and wrap it around the bottom of the basket (like you’re diapering a baby). Secure with two diaper pins.

• Place items into a diaper bag – no need to wrap! Stuff some paper underneath the items so they are fully displayed, and use glue dots and/or ribbons to secure everything.

• Tie a baby rattle onto a ribbon so that the rattle hangs on the front of the basket.

• Top off the basket with a bow made from yellow, pink and blue curling ribbon.
