I saw some pretty paint dipped baskets on the Martha Stewart craft of the day. Such a fun way to jazz up some plain baskets.
Here’s an easier way to achieve the dipped look without dipping the entire basket in a pan of paint.
Simply use a brush to paint a wavy line of paint to the bottom of the basket to mimic the look of dipped paint.
This one is going in my bathroom to use as a catch all. But I can think of lots of fun uses for faux paint dipped baskets. Fun!
Thanks for visiting.
Clever idea for adding interest to a plain basket. From now on, I'll definitely look at all those simple baskets I see at garage sales with an eye toward their potential for the divine dipped look.
ReplyDeleteI love the look and what an easy project. I love the tip about toning down the color with thinned paint! This would make a great hostess gift filled with some homemade goodies and a bouquet of lavender.

Beautiful idea Carolyn. The "dip" look adds a lot of interest to the pretty basket!
ReplyDeleteGreat job Carolyn! I love the painted-dipped look baskets I did in bright colors, but now I'm wondering about doing another in white.
