This is a great project – paint, tape and doilies used to produce a fancy final product. And you can do it in any color to suit your taste. I love to see this in white with bright, contrasting colours as well. Nice work! Get the instructions over at Mod Podge Rocks.

I tend to look at baskets and see vehicles for dust accumulation and junk collections. Know thyself, I think is the term for this. However, these very sharp dip-dyed baskets may change my mind.
