Repurposed Frame Spring Easter Basket
I was bound and determined to find a use for these frames that were leftover from my daughter's wedding.
The wedding was 7years ago and today is the day and since it's getting close to Easter I had an idea.
These frames originally came from IKEA.
First I removed the backings and the glass from the frames then glued and nailed the frames together in a square.
I added candle cups to use as feet and attached them to the bottom using E6000 glue.
Then the next step was to paint the box.
I used Annie Sloan Chalk Paint in Provence, then distressed the edges of the frames when it was dry I used a spray sealer to seal the chalky paint.
The next step was to add a handle, I had a broken willow handle leftover from another basket project.
I wrapped jute around the ends of the handle then attached it to the box with hot glue and nails.
