How to Make A Bread Gift Basket

1. Gather your materials and homemade goods. I like to put all my bread fixings into mason jars, as they are both functional and festive.

2. Write down what is in each jar on your craft paper labels before labeling, then adhere to the jars.

3. Cut around pieces of twine or ribbon, and wrap around the jars and bread, adding any flowers, herbs, or plant clippings you’d like before tying in the twine or ribbon into a bow.

4. If you’d like, add linens or any additional festive decor to the bread basket. 

And voilà! You have a beautiful homemade gift.
