This painted flat basket update looks completely different now! Use paint and decor transfers to transform old baskets!

Hello friends! Can you even believe it’s June already?? We are halfway into the year, what?!

How about we makeover a basket today? I’ve been getting into all the goodies I found recently!

This huge bunch I shared with you all several weeks ago. I pulled out that large basket in the back and gave it a whole new look!

So far I’ve done the crate and today I’m sharing the basket. Many more to go!

Painted Flat Basket Update

This is a bit different type of basket since it’s large and flat.

Sort of like maybe a bread basket or something? Well, lots of things you can do with these large baskets, right?

The first thing I did was tape just under the edges so I could spray-paint the top edge gold.

Next, I painted the inside and out with French Eggshell. (this is a beautiful blue/green aqua shade)

One coat was all it needed!

Once that was dry, I decided to use the Rose Quartz decor transfer on the inside.

Want to know all the “ins and outs” of using transfers? I wrote an entire post all about it! You can see it here >>> How To Use Rub On Decor Transfers

This large section would go in the middle but I wanted it a bit fuller so added a few more pieces.

In order to layer them, some needed to go on first like this single flower here.

Then the big one over top.

And I added several more on top of the large rose, some leaves too.

The left looked like it needed just one more leaf! lol I didn’t want to put it over top of the flower because that would be weird. So I made it look like it was under the rose instead.

I used a sharpie and a spare piece of the clear paper the transfer comes on to trace the shape of the edge of the rose. (see below)

Then I cut out the leaf to that shape.

Just fit it in like a puzzle piece.

As you can see, once it is attached, you’d never know!

Much better! Now it looks balanced and finished.

I decided to seal this transfer with our Clear Glaze instead of our Topcoat this time. It gives it a bit more luster/gloss.

And done! Such a simple makeover but oh so pretty.

I love the aqua and pink together. I’m a sucker for those two colors!! Obviously as those are my brand colors here on the blog. ;)

It just looks like a plain ole basket from the side.

But then you get a fun surprise inside!

Lots of things you can use transfers on. It doesn’t always have to be furniture as you’ve learned around here! I use them on just about everything!

How about you??

PIN it to save it!

I hope you have a wonderful weekend, dear friends!
