Using baskets for craft room storage and a vintage basket makeover

There are so many uses for vintage baskets! In this video I show all the things I've managed to stash in the vintage baskets around my craft room. Then I take a basket that's seen better days and give it a makeover plus style it three different ways, including funky 70s picnic, vintage tea and a retro tailgate.

LOVE the baskets and all your displays. I love to use old suitcases as well for storage!❤

I agree - old suitcases are great for storage too. I have a couple different sets of vintage suitcases that I use for storage in other spots around my house. Here's to collections of items that double as places to hide more collections ;) Thanks for taking time to post a comment - happy crafting and collecting!

Great use of your beautiful baskets. I have my family’s old picnic basket from when I was a kid & still use it on occasion for picnics, but I think it will be moved into my craft room for storage, thanks for the inspiration. Also, loved seeing your paperdoll collection. I grew up playing with paperdolls for hours ❤

Thanks as always for your kind comments - Baskets are such a delight to collect and have so much function and beauty. I love paperdolls too and had a whole paperdoll city underneath the dining room table growing up. I wonder if any of them are still hanging out there - I think I'll have to check that the next time I'm home. ;) Have a great week!

I have a few baskets similar to yours, and one just like yours, and I love using them for craft storage just like you. I love how you spray painted one of your baskets - I want to try that! Thank you for the inspiration!

Great minds think alike! I've collected some baskets that had been painted...and that's what gave me the idea to try it with one of the ones that I had that was in rough shape. Hope that your painting project goes well! :)

Thank you for the term "retro tailgate". I collect picnic baskets and blankets, all types of thermos containers, coolers. etc. and have struggled to find a good name for it. In my mind it's "food on the go" but I much prefer "retro tailgate". :) Really enjoyed the video.

I really like "food on the go" as well - or in the case of tailgating: "go team go!" Thanks for watching and for taking time to share a comment :)
