Place the doily inside the basket to line the bottom. If possible, weave ribbon all around the basket, just below the rim. If it can't be woven into the basket, glue it into place.
With the remaining ribbon, make a small, four-loop bow. Wire it together and glue it to the rim of the basket near the handle.
Glue the rose buds all around the rim in clusters. Face the roses out in all directions.
I have made this with a round, dark willow basket. It made a wonderful way to present a couple of mixes as gifts.
Although this basket is adorable with real rosebuds on it, real flower buds are not always practical around the house, especially the dried variety. Therefore, you could make the same basic basket using silk flowers or even sewing embellishments instead of dried rosebuds.
