Make Your Basket Planter Look Brand New For Cheap!

June 28, 2016 3 Comments

Sometimes the best ideas are so easy and inexpensive, we forget to tell anybody what we did. This wicker basket redo is one of those things – it took minutes to do. Easy-peasy!

I love this wicker basket planter. My daughter-in-law picked it out for me for Mother’s Day last year and I enjoyed its beauty all summer long. But over the winter, something happened to the basket. Though it was in the safety of the garage, out of the elements, it became old and weathered over those few short months.
No time for a redo? Get a new outdoor planter, instead!

Hubby said “Well, this one’s shot. You might as well throw it away.” But I knew better. I could make it look good as new with ease. It was so simple.

  • First, take the plastic liner out. Wash it with clear water or replace it with new.
  • Next, brush off the outside of the basket to remove any loose particles and dirt.
  • Now, spray it with semi-gloss spray paint with primer.
  • Let it dry.
  • Put the liner inside.
  • Fill with potting soil.
  • Add plants*
  • Done!
*I love New Guinea Impatiens for their bold blooms and waxy green leaves. For this planter I used both white and red impatiens plants.

    I love reviving tired baskets. I make a lot of theme baskets and get them cheaply at yard sales and thrifting. A scrub, a coat of paint and you are ready to roll. Natural colors get several coats of clear spray. Great recycling!

    I never throw away anything I think some spray paint can rescue! Your basket looks nice and refreshed especially with the pretty flowers.
