Hi, I'm Rachel Fish from Incredible Eatables for Expert Village. So now what we are going to do is we have our beautiful already. We want to take the arch of the basket and add some decorations to it to make it look even more beautiful. Okay I'm going to take the ribbon that I have chosen here, I have chosen a gold organza ribbon it has 2 lines over here on the side which is much nice than just plain organza ribbon which would look like that even though it might be wider. I take a glue dot to secure it, I'm going to stick it over here a little bit underneath so you don't see the glue dot. So you are simple going to take the ribbon and we are going to wrap it around the arch of the basket. That is very important we don't want the ribbon to be too tight, we are not going to pull it tight like this cause then it is going to take away from the effect. The other thing we don't want it loose, we don't want it dropping like this we just have to do it not too loose or not too tight I guess. But so it drapes down a little bit we simply take it and we just keep wrapping it around until we get to the end of the arch. Then making sure that it is not too loose leaving a little bit of space in between each one so we can fill that in, in a few minutes and we can keep wrapping around and around. So we finish over here, we are going to take another glue dot and we are going to secure it down and you see this really adds a very special effect to the top of the basket.
