BBQ Grilling Basket

BBQ Grilling Basket

Creating your own baskets to give as gifts is really easy and fun. You can save money by making them yourself instead of buying them from a trendy store. You could also start a home based gift basket business. You only need a few simple supplies to get started.

Supplies:

Basket (base container)
Filler (shreds)
Clear Cellophane Bag or Basket Wrap
Ribbon (to tie off the bag)
Ribbon (to make a bow)
Gift Tag
Product Fillers
Scissors

You don't have to fill your basket with all of the following product suggestions. The suggestions are just to help you with your creative process.

Try to be creative with your bases. Instead of using baskets, you can use: Chip 'N Dip bowls, ice buckets, cleaning buckets, plastic bins, popcorn bowls or for the sportsman themes, try using small tackle boxes and tool boxes.

Recipe calls for a grill basket, but I can't find one?

The asparagus recipe I want to make tonight calls for BBQing the asparagus in a grill basket on the BBQ. I have looked everywhere in my town for a grill basket and can't find one. Is there any way I can 'fashion' a grill basket out of something else? Thanks!

Do you have one of those long-handled wire cages for grilling burgers? If the holes aren't too large, you could put the asparagus in that.
