Diy - Painted Seagrass Belly Baskets

Hey there,
Are you lot a belly handbasket lover? Good for you! Today I accept an slowly agency to customize seagrass belly baskets amongst paint.

I bought a trio of these seagrass baskets a long fourth dimension ago. I similar their fiddling handles in addition to the natural vibe they give to the space, merely they somehow got
lost when placed against the white background in addition to that's why I decided to give them a makeover.

The materials couldn't live on whatever simpler: -Affiliate links -

I went for a unproblematic striped design. However, taping a round, tapered in addition to textured object is ever challenging in addition to that's why I used Frog record to seal those edges really well.
I cutting the record inward two, lengthwise, inward guild to comprehend the belly. Lots of wrinkles on those edges, brand certain to press them difficult against the handbasket to closed those fiddling gaps.

Two to a greater extent than pieces of record were added 1 at the locomote on in addition to lower section.

The adjacent measuring is paint. I used chalk pigment because of its thickness in addition to adept coverage. It doesn't run every bit much every bit other types of pigment in addition to solely 1 coat was adept enough.
Now, the most of import tip I accept to give you lot today, is to ever pigment from the record in addition to into the basket. Kind of diagonally without adding likewise much pigment to the brush. If I had agency likewise much pigment on the brush, I made certain to outset tap the excess pigment on the tape.
Go ikon all around 1 side of the record (center pic) in addition to and therefore all around the other side of the record towards the center. Always preventing the pigment from seeping through the tape.

Let the pigment dry out in addition to take away the tape.

The quadrilateral designs or quasi parallelograms were made around the same way. First, the record was set horizontally, trying to split upward the handbasket inward 4 equal spaces.
Then, pieces of record were set diagonally to create the design. The clear spaces were painted.
Once the pigment is dry out you lot tin take away the tape. You're going to accept roughly empty spots that demand to live on taped in addition to painted to create the continuous design.

The concluding measuring is to exercise fiddling behave upon ups to those areas where the pigment was removed amongst the tape. If you lot accept fiddling seepage spots you lot tin scrape them amongst a blade.
