DIY Dip Dyed Baskets for Mother's Day


These DIY dip dyed woven baskets are perfect Mother's Day gift ideas! If you're looking for a simple last minute idea, this project is the one for you. Keep reading to learn how to achieve the look above!

Materials needed:

-Stir stick
-Water-based latex paint (color of your choice)
-Large plastic storage bin
-Woven basket
-Foam paintbrush
 


Stir paint thoroughly and pour into a plastic bin. Carefully dip your basket into the paint. Work slowly; as you dip, the paint will push up the sides of the basket. Once you've reached the desired line, slowly pull the basket out of paint.

If you want a higher line than the dipped mark, use a foam brush to paint a new line. Hang the basket to dry completely. Make sure to show us your finished product!
