How to complete your basket upcycling project
1. Clean the baskets with soapy water and leave to dry in the sun.2. Decide on a pattern – it can be a half-half design, lines, or even an ombré effect that might be to your liking.
3. To paint a line, measure the width of the area, mask above and below with masking tape, paint the exposed area and leave to dry. Repeat to cover any missed spots.
4. If you use spray paint, be careful to avoid spraying outside the desired area.
