A tisket, a tasket, I made a nifty little basket.

This past summer my husband and I took a weekend trip to Chicago to spend time with some dear friends of ours. Wonderful hosts that they were, our friends knew just what kind of outtings would appeal to us most. In my case, that was checking out a few second hand shops in search of "treasures." At one of these stores, I found a cute little wicker picnic basket that needed a little love. One glimpse at the price tag, and it begged me to take it home. I happily obliged! So, how did I give it a much needed facelift? The process was a quick and fun one!  The finished product; pretty little basket with a contemporary flare. This basket photographed better than it actually looked. It was faded, tattered, and in need to TLC. For this project I used: -ELMERS Spray Adhesive  -One Paper Plate -Chalk Paint  -Foam Applicator -ModPodge Adhesive & Sealer -ModPodge Acrylic Sealer -Matte Finish Spray HereHereherewhythefrickcan'tIfindthis spot?
