how do you make a movie basket?
You’ll want to start with a basket! we picked up everything, including the basket, at target for less than $75! you can also reuse a basket if you have one on hand or choose a gift bag or box to save a little money!
basket: 13″ decorative rope coil tapered square base medium white basket – threshold™
We also wanted to include a cozy blanket that everyone could snuggle up in for the movie! we love this solid chenille blanket!
We chose a large box of orville redenbacher movie butter microwave popcorn to include in the basket. this took up a fair amount of space and was quite inexpensive! you can also open the box and include a few bags of popcorn each if you were making several baskets for people.
Popcorn Holders: 8ct Popcorn Boxes, Small
These popcorn holders were also relatively inexpensive and elevate your typical movie night!
coca-cola soft drink – pack of 6 8 fl oz glass bottles
There is also something magical about glass Coke bottles! We love this 6-pack, and again – it’s relatively cheap and takes up a lot of room in the basket.
m&m’s Family Size Milk Chocolate Candies – 19.2 oz
We also love to include some chocolate in our baskets! you could include a large bag like this or several small movie box-style treats in your own basket!
red vines twists original red licorice candy – 5oz
The red vines are screaming “movie night” at us too! Plus, it comes with a non-chocolate treat, so there’s something for everyone!
25ct white banded tissue paper – spritz™
You’ll also need tissue paper to hold all of your stuff so you can get a good look at it!
how do you make a movie basket?
Step 1: Purchase the items listed above.
step 2: put the blanket in the basket and fill the rest with tissue paper. this fills it in so everything is displayed when you’re done.
