How to make a DIY New Mom Gift Basket:
Now that you know what to put in your DIY New Mom Gift Basket, it’s time to learn how to make it! Here are the steps:
Step One: Choose a basket or container. This can be anything from a simple cardboard box to a wicker basket or wooden crate. I love to use woven baskets from the thrift store!
Step Two: Gather your supplies. You will need the items listed in the previous section, plus some wrapping paper and ribbon or twine to tie everything together.
Step Three: Wrap each individual item separately and place them in the basket. This can be a time-consuming process, but it’s worth it because it makes the gift look so pretty!
Step Four: Tie everything together with ribbon or twine and give to your favorite new mom!
The best part about this DIY New Mom Gift Basket is that you can customize it to include the new mom’s favorite things. So be sure to ask her what her favorite snacks, books, and beauty products are before putting it together.
We hope you enjoy creating this DIY New Mom Gift Basket as much as we enjoyed writing about it! Congratulations to all of the new moms out there – you’re amazing!
