Emma's Room - Project 6 - Wicker Basket Linings

Total Cost: ~$10
Time Spent: 1.5 hours


Love these baskets.  A few weeks ago, my husband was offered a free bookshelf/hutch.  So I was thinking about what I could put on the shelves.  The top shelf will be for books. The bottom shelf will be for a headband organizer and picture frames.

The middle shelf will hold these baskets!  They will hold socks, leg warmers, hats, and hand mittens.

The problem was, I had no baskets.  So I went to my favorite local thrift store and bought the 4 wicker baskets you see below for a little less than $4.


I got them home, took off any handles there may have been, and then spray painted them gray.

I then created linings in purple fabric, and created a hem so that I could tie them off with sheer black ribbon.

A very simple, and very fun project!

My husband is currently painting the bookshelf/hutch.  When he is done, I will post another photo of the baskets on the shelf!
