Baskets can also be spray painted with fabulous results. I have spray painted with Rustoleum spray paint.

To stain with wood stain, use a soft cloth like an old t-shirt, apply stain let dry a bit and then wipe off.

Baskets can be used as lamp shades, storage containers for toys, bathroom, items, paints/craft materials, and a container for a gift. You can also make a display of them on a wall.

You can stain baskets with Rit Dye

You can use a gel stain. You can go darker but not lighter. You can also spray paint them.

I even used a small artists paint brush and applied food coloring to a wicker basket. The result was a translucent effect. But it takes a lot of food coloring :(
