Sharing with you how I did my Basket Makeover

I thought I’d share my Picnic Basket makeover I’ve just finished

Perfect for a Valentines Day Celebration Picnic!

I started off with this plain old Cane Picnic basket with the blue and white gingham lining.

I have a love for silvery washed out cane baskets, but they’re very hard to come by, so I thought I’d try giving this one the look I had in mind

First of all I unpicked the check material lining

I then sprayed it inside and out with a Grey Paint Primer, sprayed on a bit of flat black too…why not?… I kept randomly layering the spray paint on

Once dry I brushed on my soft white coloured paint, just brush it on though, don’t go trying to get into all the crevices

But wait there’s more…

It looked a bit stark….time to get out the sand paper and give it a bit of distressing to let  those sanded back silvery hints of cane show through

and just to make it a one of a kind

I’ve added a blackboard disk which I’ve painted a single white rose on, the disk is blackboard painted both sides, which makes it perfect to write a message in chalk on the back

Thankyou for coming over and I hope my cane basket makeover was of help to you?
