Painted Wicker Baskets

I am in love with painted wicker baskets.  They’re just simple baskets, but the painted white stripe gives them such a designer look.

This would be such an easy DIY project to do.  It’s simply a matter of  marking where you want the paint to go on the basket with masking tape, then using either a brush or spray paint.  We found a step by step guide on the Lowes hardware site.

Here’s another example of a DIY double striped basket completed by Remodelando la Casa blog.

You can find a good selection of baskets at chain stores like Target, IKEA, and Howard’s Storage World, or look out for them at Op shops and vintage shops.

An easy project to try at home.  Why not give it a go and send us a photo of your basket?

I'm Kylie, and I love to share practical home decorating and styling tips. I'm a qualified interior designer and self taught crafter and DIY'er. I'm addicted to decorating, and can't walk past a homewares shop without going in for a look. I live in a 1930's Queenslander in Brisbane's inner suburbs which I'm turning into a home one project at a time.
