Most baskets are slightly wider at the top than at the bottom, so the liners should follow suit. With four darts in the side-wall fabric where it meets the base fabric, you can create a snug fit.
Silver-Coated Lined Basket Centerpiece
Dress up plain woven bread baskets by painting them a single, glistening shade and fitting colorful fabric inside. For a lush centerpiece, insert a plastic liner, and fill with a mix of neutral, silvery-leafed plants along with flowers in deep purples and soft magentas. Here, we used mums, dusty miller, viburnum, globe thistle, cabbage rosettes, and kale leaves -- all inexpensive and readily available in fall.
