Dress up a woven basket with some effective use of wool!
I was looking for some materials for another project ( The Bogan Wine Glass) when I came across this set of woven baskets for just $8! I immediately made plans to paint them in my head, but when I got them home I could see that I wouldn’t get the smooth finish I was looking for without a lot of work.
So I took the next best option and used some wool I had lying around in a colour that would match my décor.
