$1 Thrift Store Basket Make-Over With Gold Leaf Pen

Windgate Lane
by Windgate Lane
I spotted this little basket at the thrift store and just couldn't pass it up! the cute pattern is what really spoke to me but the colors didn't;) So of course paint was my answer- and even better than just paint was using my Gold Leaf Pen!
The lovely before... See the potential?
And after using a Gold Leaf Pen (best thing ever) and a white paint pen...
I am loving it! It will be perfect for holding bills that need to be paid or filed on my desk. Run and find you one- the possibilities and colors are endless and who cares- it was a $1:)

    A paint pen?! Sounds like something I could have success with! what exactly are they, and where did you get yours? Love the basket make-over! Well worth the dollar!

      @Maggie Lais Thanks Maggie:) You can find them at any craft store and sometimes even at grocery stores! They are just a pen that uses paint rather than ink.
