Make Over ~Love for Basket Style Bags~

Over the past several months, I found a few baskets at some thrift stores. What I love to do is take them home, clean them up, give them some character. Here are the latest basket makeovers that I did, I wanted to share the pictures with you all.

The first one is this dark brown basket. I accesorized it with some fur and ribbons...


and gave it a new look.



The next one, I forgot to take a before picture, but I added pom-poms, ribbons, and a removable flower clip. I think it will be so cute to pair up with some spring and summer cotton dresses!



Each time when I give a basket a new life, I form some kind of attachment. During that process, I think about what kind of clothing might go with it, or various color schemes... and they all come out as a basket that I want to use and carry around!! BUT, I can't keep them all to myself, unless I live in a house with a humongous closet. So, I will be listing these baskets on my etsy shop soon. If you are one of those people with extra closet space, head over to my shop and check them out!

I will be posting a tutoral on Friday. I hope you all are having a nice week!!

    Excellent! What a difference a little "bling" can add to a rather plain bag!
