Welcome to the very first
TUTORIALS TIPS AND TIDBITS
I am so thrilled that you joined me!!!!
Giveaway and Linky are at the end of the post...
What do you do with a basement FULL of old baskets?
I am breathing new life into some of my old Longaberger baskets by painting them!
WARNING...
If you are a Longaberger consultant you might want to skip to the giveaway!
But if you have these collectibles collecting dust in your basement you might want to give painting them a try!
Painting Longaberger Baskets
I chose to let some of the beauty of the baskets original stain to show through, creating more of a washed look than an opaque finish.
First choose a basket you would not mind painting.
Using a clean damp rag, go over the basket removing any dust and stains.
To paint the basket, I used a combo of 50% Annie Sloan Chalk Paint in Pure White and 50 % water. Mix.
Wet down an area of the basket with a damp sponge, this helps give the basket a washed look. Paint AS chalk paint over the damp area and lightly wipe over it with a soft dry cloth removing some of the paint. Work your way around your basket. Work the paintbrush in all the nooks and crannies of the basket.
Paint another layer of watered down AS chalk paint to your basket and continue to wipe some of it off. Keep repeating the process until you like how the paint has accumulated in the creases and is softly rubbed off on the slats.
I used several light layers to achieve this soft warn washed look.
Use a brush that has been wiped of most of the paint and dry brush paint the basket here and there. You can always use a damp cloth to soften the brush strokes after it has been painted!
Let dry and apply a light coat of clear wax. Gently buff.
I am using this tall spoon basket to hold white geraniums on my potting bench!
I am participating in...

ReplyDeleteWell, I do have a houseful of old Longaberger baskets having once been a consultant (decades ago). At first I did take a sharp inhale of breath when I saw that you painted your baskets, but I think they look great! I might actually consider doing this with one or two of mine to freshen them up.
ReplyDeleteWhat a super fantastic giveaway, Yvonne! You have really outdone yourself with the many goodies included. Who wouldn't love winning this giveaway?
I gave a shout out about your meme , but I will go back and add the give away!

ReplyDeleteOut of all the blogs I follow - yours has always been my favorite. I just love everything about your home and your love for entertaining. casemlynn@gmail.com
ReplyDeleteTHANK YOU for posting about painting your Longaberger basket!!! I have a several and I am just not digging the "orangey" color anymore so I have googled "painting Longaberger baskets, looked on blogs, etc. and only found one person who did it. I have painted two of mine white and love the look but plan to paint more. I love the white washed look of yours. I still use mine to carry food to places and serve out of, etc. but I keep them in a closet and would much rather have them out. Thanks for the giveaway too! I love everything!! Love your blog too!! :)
ReplyDeleteI'm a follower for awhile now. Love your blog! Can't wait to paint some of my baskets, too! It will be a fun, quick project that will satisfy my need for creativity and provide me with an updated accessory without costing a lot of money!
ReplyDeleteI don't have a basement full of Longaberger's but I do have a basement full of "Country Home Collection" baskets (which are almost identical). Thank you so much for this tutorial - it is just perfect for me and I'm definitely going to do this. casemlynn@gmail.com
ReplyDeleteIs it just me or is this the best giveaway ever? Love it!
ReplyDeleteOh and I'm definitely a follower now! Thanks for inviting me to your Link Party. The tutorial for the baskets is so pretty... and only your geraniums could make it more chic.
