This is one very good idea/suggestion for those who are looking for a low cost party souvenir. For illustration purposes I created a sample using scraps, including in the making of the flowers.

Supplies:

1 plastic bottle cap
a bouquet of mini flowers
ribbons of different colors and sizes
specially designed scented paper
glue (white glue/hot glue)
scissors
double sided tape
other accessories of your choice

Steps:

Cover the bottle cap very neatly with a special scented paper. Or you can also use fabric to cover it.

Pour some white or hot glue inside the basket and fill with green paper trimmings. See photo.

Cut a small strip out of the scented paper. Fold it thinly.

Bend the strip to form the handle. Glue into place and wrap with a ribbon.

The cap now looks exactly like a basket. Wrap its body with another ribbon.

Pour hot glue over paper trimmings then put the flowers inside and fix them in your desired arrangement. The flowers I used in this project are all handmade by me due to lack of materials. I created them out of colored paper clippings.

Add some more details and beautify as much as you want.
