Easy Striped Basket with Paint a Thrift Store Makeover

Thanks for Sharing!

Hi Friends!  I’m so excited that it’s time for our monthly Thrift Store Decor… each month I join with some blogging friends to share some fun makeovers we’ve done using thrift store items.  This month I’ve got a cute and easy striped basket that you can make with paint.

I’ve seen this cute style a few stores in the last few months and I thought it would be fun to make my own.

I started with thrift store basket with handles… I think that really helps make this super cute!

I used delicate painter’s tape and taped it off, just leaving the top section open to easily paint.  I used some white acrylic paint with a foam 1″ brush.

I put 3 coats on, letting it dry about 30-45 minutes between coats (it was a warm day though).

When the final coat had dried well I peel off the painter’s tape to reveal this CUTE basket.

Perfect for holding throw blankets…

magazines…

or whatever floats your boat.

Pop on over and see what these other awesome ladies transformed!
