Baskets

• Aside from traditional placement, try incorporating baskets into your decor by using them for storage of unconventional items such as toss pillows.
• Use a step basket, which is notched so that it rests on two steps, to collect objects bound for upstairs (figure A).
• The kitchen is a natural place to use baskets for fruits and vegetables or to serve bread. A new trend is built-in basket drawers for food storage.

Materials:

spray paint
basket
cotton batting
fabric
cording

Steps:

1. Paint entire basket in desired color and let dry.

2. Glue batting to the exterior. Cut a circle of fabric and place basket in the center of it.

3. Pull the fabric around the basket and glue it under the rim (alternate sides to create even pleats).

4. Glue cording over the raw edge to finish it, and then tie a knot.
