Spray Painted Basket


It was already 4.30pm and I wanted to do a quick project and something to get me going. I have had little energy today, most of which disappeared when out shopping fabric for my room. 

The basket I got for free at a give-away hall by the local dump yard, where I earlier had found things like this. It was simple and looked fine, but I wanted it to be a bit more special. I went outside on the balcony and lay out an old bed sheet, which I use for painting on. 


I started with a layer of spray paint.


Then I waited 2-3 minutes before I did a layer of blue spray paint. I had gotten this a few weeks ago for some lamps that will go in my bedroom.


I decided to do two layers 2.3 minutes later.


And then it was finished.


It is amazing how fast it went. And what a big difference. I am really starting to be a fan of spray paint! It went super fast, only having to wait 2-3 minutes between each layer. I really understand why so many bloggers swear to spray paint instead of normal paint.

Have you done any project using spray paint? I would LOVE to see, so please post a link in the comments so I can check it out!

  2. Your basket turned out so much prettier in the blue! Baskets are the best thing to paint with spray paint. I am such a HUGE fan of spray paint, I really need to buy it in bulk. LOL!
