Faux Locker Baskets

I’ve been waiting for some locker basket to come my way for the bench in my “mudroom”. I was in Walmart picking up some white spray paint when I saw Hammered Finish spray paint. Hmm…that got me thinking. I had seen plastic baskets before like this….

What if I used the hammered spray paint to make it look like galvanized metal…

$5 for the spray paint and $3.50 for the basket it was worth a try.

Not too bad..I held it up to my real galvanized metal bins and it looks pretty close. Just don’t touch it!

I have these little metal book plate things in my scrapbooking stash. I’m going to print out a number and attach it to the basket.

 

Of course I just won an auction on Ebay for some real locket baskets I had bid on awhile ago, but these will do until they arrive….
