Let me first say that I love Spray Paint. I just think that it is so useful for quick touch ups and projects. I decided while I was out on an outing with my little man, to stop by our local Goodwill. And thank goodness I did. I found a CUTE binder that I will use for my home management binder that I have been working on. For .55! Brand new. Also, I found a cute little basket, for .55, and Nic some swim floaties, which were Disney Cars, for .25!! Brand new, never opened, to be put up for next year. Very sucessful trip.
So, I was wondering what I could use that basket for. I know I bought it and could use it for something, but not sure what. LIGHTBULB!! Oh yeah, a key/wallet holder! Brian, the signifigant other (: loses his keys a lot. (Of course he doesn't say that he LOST them, just misplaced them. hehe.) So what could be better than a basket that holds them when he comes home from work.
The basket was white, and plain. Our bedroom accents are black, so first thing I thought was...Spraypaint. I already had some from another project I wanted to do, which worked perfect! I forgot to take a picture before of the basket, but here it is after the paint.
Sorry about the brightness, I'm still trying to figure my camera out. :)
Cute right? The right size, height, and everything. But something was still missing. I figured our keys may get caught in the wicker bottom. So we were at Walmart the other day, which ours has brought back fabric, and found the cutest print! It was a fat quarter for .98!! So not only will I have enough for this, but a few other projects as well. So I cut it, pressed it, and plan to sew it, once I can get my maching going. (I have to replace the needle, when I remember to get one!)
Final Product:
Super cute right? I love it. Brian does too, even though it is pink! :)
Cost:
Basket: .55
Paint: .69
Cloth: .99
Total: 2.23!!
Totally Cute and Totally Functional!!
Thanks for looking! Going to be doing some other projects, so stay tuned!
