Upcycled Bicycle Basket

 Thrift store trash to treasure...



 A cone shaped chip wood basket from the thrift store
gets a coat of vinegar/steel wool solution to darkened and give the basket the look of timeworn beauty. 


A piece of vintage rope and the stamped image of a bicycle for decoration.


and this basket has a whole new life holding flowers!

    I needed that bicycle basket for my dog to go mountain bike riding with me and my boys. She might fit. Shoot! :)
