DIY Living Wreath

I wanted a little something to dress up our garage door and provide a bit of inspiration.

I gathered a grapevine wreath and a few packs of tiny terra cotta pots and got to work ...»

securing them on the wreath.

A few plants from the garden center later, and I had a great bit of greenery to brighten up the garage near my chicken coop!

  • Now my baskets look like treasured family hierlooms that have been around for decades.
  • These are simple "Indian Style" baskets from an import store.
  • I used 2 different stains, a light one (gunstock) and a darker one (Jacobean)...they could be any colors that you might have on hand.
  • I started with the Gunstock stain to darken all my basket area...it made the most impact on the cream areas.
  • Be sure to wear protective rubber gloves...or you will have stained finger tips. Be sure to work the stain into the cracks of the weave. These dry baskets will soak up quite a bit of stain in the begining. 1
  • After the first stain dried, I skimmed the surface with the darker, Jacobean stain.
  • Here's a close-up of how the darker stain looks a little smudged and time-worn.
  • Perfect place to drop the remotes in our den.

them "look" like the vintage ones. I started with 2 colors of wood stain, and applied each to created a layered/aged look. Now I'm passing this VERY easy process on to y'all.

    Great look. They do look old! I love the pictures you took. So nice of you to take the time to ...»
    share them..The picture of the big basket with the cactus in it is beautiful!!

    If that WAS a really old Indian basket, we would have to have a long serious talk with you for sure! Ha!

    I like your fiesta ware dishes too. How pretty everything looks. You have great taste. I will look for a basket right now to try this on! I would think the oil would be good for the basket also.
