Transform A Plain Wicker Basket Into A Work Of Art

You can take a plain wicker basket and make it into a work of art.

Craft stores have a very big variety of baskets of all shapes. You can also find great buys at garage sales or thrift stores. I have found some really great baskets and then brought them home and made them look completely different.

All you need for the transformation is a basket and some acrylic paint. The basket pictured here wasn’t very pretty when I bought it so I got busy with my paints. Give me a bottle of paint and I can fix just about anything.

A poinsettia Christmas Basket can really set the tone for your Christmas table. They are so pretty and the best thing is that they will last from year to year.

The next time you go to a garage sale or thrift store look at their baskets. You can find some great bargains and all you need is some paint to make them like new. Just have fun and experiment with different colors and types of baskets.

If you have any questions or craft ideas please contact me and I will add it to my site.
