Decorating With Baskets



You can never have enough baskets!!!
They are pretty, versatile, and can even help organize your stuff. They are also very easy to repair and paint after you have found them really cheap at yard sales and thrift stores. People get rid of these because they cannot see the possibilities of baskets. You can spray paint them, stencil them, line them, or hot glue something pretty to them to make them look nice. You can then use them to hold craft supplies, newspapers, as a trash can, as a message organizer (for pens and paper) by the phone, or to hold cleaning supplies, toys, as a table organizer (napkins, salt and pepper), to organize laundry, and anything else you can dream up! There are many ways to use baskets, and they can be really cheap, so keep your eyes open!
