Hey Guys! I have been wanting baskets for my sewing table and finally got around to getting them done today.
Here’s what I did. I found these great baskets at Michael’s for $6.50 a piece on sale.
Then I used the same lovely gold frames I found at Dollar Tree to make my labels.
I took the glass and cardboard backing out of the frames and gave all three of them a coat of Rust-Oleum Painter’s Touch in Heirloom White.
Then I shantied them up a bit using Ralph Lauren Faux Antique glaze. You just paint it on and wipe it off with a wiping cloth or old shirt.
After those dried I took my cardboard backings and a small piece of burlap to the garage.
I used Elmer’s Spray Adhesive on each piece of cardboard and placed them on my burlap like this.
Then, I used scissors to cut around each piece of cardboard.
I used my Cricut to cut #’s 1-3 to use as a stencil. I stenciled a number on each piece.
So cute! After that, just put them back into your frames and you are almost done.
I used my hot glue gun to attach a label to each basket.
After I finished them all up I was ready to put them on my table. I had intended on having lots of pictures for you guys but I took them too late and the lighting is terrible. I did get a few though.
So, for just about $8 a basket I am a happy girl! Thanks for stopping by and let me know if you have any questions!

These are darling! Love the stenciled numbers.
Love it, too cute. Can you tell me what stores you buy your spray paint, adhesives and antique paint at? I don't want to have to go to every store to find it. Love this craft!
These baskets are amazing. I LOVE them! The little frames are too cute. I might need to make a few of these for my daughter's room. Thanks for a great project idea. Kk
Super, super cute!
My friend Robyn (robynlonghurst.typepad.com) just sent me this link!!! DeLIsh!! Love this project. Thanks for all the step by step pics. I will add this to my project list. I was wondering if that antiquing glaze would work on trim and shelving that is already white. I am trying to "shabby up" my little girls room. Any tips? Thanks so much.
I love those!!

This is so ridiculously cute! I love burlap, numbers, baskets. You combined it all. –Delores
So stinkin' cute!!!! Another project to add to my list!!!
Those are so cute!! I found your website through UCreate. 🙂 One question though…did you use paint to stencil those numbers on? I don't have a Cricut, so would that work too?
Those baskets are adorable! Thanks for sharing your ideas. Love & blessings from NC!
