I tried my hand at painting wicker, here is the end result. What do you think?
This tall wicker basket works perfect to store gloves and toques at the front door or to store toilet paper or towels in a bathroom. First step was to scrub it clean inside and out with warm soapy water and Fusion TSP
Alternative. Rinse and allow to dry.
I mixed up a sample size package of Fusion Milk
Paint color Monterey. Using a Fusion Chip Brush the milk paint was brushed slowly and horizontally around the basket working it into the wickers nooks and crannies.
To seal the milk paint and add more dimension I brushed on Fusion Furniture
Wax in clear, espresso and ageing wax colors randomly and blending together using a dedicated Fusion Chip Brush for each color wax.
It looks ok but still needs a bit more punch I think.
Another great use is to remove the lid and use as a plant décor basket.

DeleteIt turned out great! I have a couple that I've thought about painting but I have always put it off. Yours turned out so pretty though that you've inspired me to give it a try. Thanks so much. Have a great weekend.
