DIY White Paint Dipped Basket
2 Hours
Easy
This is a quick, no fuss 'paint dipped' basket that cost me nothing to make. If you have an old basket, masking tape and spray paint then you can do this too!
I dusted off this old basket and then used masking tape to create a nice clean line around the base where I wanted the edge of the white paint to finish.
I used an acrylic base coat for the first layer and applied it with a paint brush. I had considered just painting it with regular acrylic paint, but wasn’t sure it was going to give me the coverage I wanted and I didn’t want to actually ‘dip’ it in the paint as I would have needed a LOT of paint.
So, once the base coat was touch dry I wrapped a layer of packing tape around the masking tape and did a thin layer of white spray paint over top.
As usual, Loki was assisting me the whole way through this project. There are some delightful dog hairs permanently spray painted onto the basket now. Thanks Loki.
