If you haven't noticed, baskets are a dime a dozen at thrift stores. Okay, maybe they are more like $2 for one basket, but they are cheap!
I love using baskets in my decor, so I thought I'd pass a long a little inspiration to you so that you could figure out how to use some cheap thrift store baskets in your own home. I bet if you look hard enough you'll even find some forgotten baskets tucked into a closet somewhere. Don't forget that you can spray paint them, so look beyond the color and just find a shape you love.
1. Line your baskets with fabric remnants using this simple no-sew tutorial. These liners are really expensive to purchase, so now you can use your glue gun to make one. Brilliant!
2. Put large baskets on pedestals and use as planters. Note: For those of us with black thumbs, you'll want to put the plant in a pot and then put the pot inside the basket. Just saying.
3. Hang large, shallow baskets on the wall as art. This is a great way to cover a lot of wall space very cheaply.
4. Turn a small closet into a storage nook by adding baskets to open shelving. This would be a great way to gain some use out of a small coat closet.
5. Line a windowsill with small baskets and use as pots for clipped blooms. Again, put your vases inside the baskets.
