DIY Weathered Rolling Basket
Giving this basket a weathered look came naturally....
Actually Mother Nature had quite a hand in it...
This basket started life last summer as a new basket from the thrift store.
I spray painted it white, then left it outside.
Yes, I left it outside for a couple of months and Mother Nature helped make it look like an authentic antique.
If you don't have a few months to wait you could paint
the basket white with chalk paint then sand off
the paint until you've achieved a weathered look.
Next I added antique wooden wheels.
And since I didn't have the original parts to these wheels, I used Gorilla Glue Epoxy and capped off the wheel posts on
the inside of the basket.
I added a muslin bow through the holes for a new handle.
And Mother Nature and I created an old weathered rolling basket that looks like it's been around for decades.
Perfect for extra storage!
