How to Make a Farmhouse Painted Flower Basket
A farmhouse style basket from a thrift store find.
Believe it or not this beautiful farmhouse style willow basket has had several lives already.
The first one was well before the thrift store where I found it.
I found several great farmhouse baskets a while back at the thrift store that were the perfect candidates for a dipped paint technique.
I repurposed this basket just recently and made a beautiful Winter Basket for the Front Door.
I began by removing the handle and painting the basket with a stain that contains poly.
While the stain was drying I cut a piece of burlap from a roll and frayed the edges.
I also found a metal tag and added puffy sticker numbers to the tag.
I coated the tag with silver Rub and Buff to make it all the same color.
When the basket was dry I used hot glue to attach the burlap and tag to the basket.
All that was left was to fill the basket with beautiful faux flowers.
I bought these at Hobby Lobby but if you look at the bottom of this post I will give you other suggestions using my Amazon links.
It's perfect to hang on the wall or stand on a shelf.
A beautiful and thrifty basket makeover for Spring.
