1.) How do I shrink a bag?
Materials / Supplies Needed: Heat gun, Tape, Ribbons, Bows or other Accents Gently open the bag and place it over the basket. Carefully gather and tuck extra wrap under your basket. Proceed with shrinking the wrap by directing the heat gun towards the bottom of the basket, moving around the basket. Next, direct the heat gun to the handle, shrinking the wrap tight to the handle. Finish your basket by using a back-and-forth motion to shrink the wrap between the handle and the lip of the basket. Accent with ribbons, bows, or other decorations.
2.) How to Measure a Basket for the Correct Size Bag?
With a flexible measuring tape, measure the entire circumference of the basket (the widest part, all the way around). Then add 10% to that measurement and divide by 2. This will give you the width of the bag you will need for the particular basket. Always round up to the nearest even number.
Measure the basket all the way around from top to bottom, add 10% and divide by 2. This will give you the correct height of the bag you will need. Should you not want the bag to go completely around the bottom you can deduct approximately 1 to 2 inches, this is a matter of preference. Our sizes are all listed, width by height.
After taking these steps to determine the correct size, if you are still not sure, please give us a call.
