My old hamper was a bit dull for my taste so I gave it a face lift without spending a dime. I used spray paint and duct tape that I had on hand to turn this drab woven basket into something much more exciting!
Supplies Needed: Large straw basket, spray paint, duct tape. 1. Tape off your negative space. If you're doing stripes I suggest an odd number such as three or five. Press your tape edges down to make sure your paint doesn't blur or leak.
2. Spray paint two thin coats according to manugacturer's instructions. 3. Let your paint dry before removing your tape.
Use your large straw basket to corral umbrellas, rolls of wrapping paper, or toys. Enjoy! –Rachel

I dress up my hamper with my dirty clothes every day!
Me too! I think I might have some in that blue! Better find a basket and dig out the old ducktape!

Another great idea!
Where did you get the basket from?? Super cute. (:
That looks really nice! 🙂
Such a great hamper to start with…I love a good and sturdy one. And I need to start using spray paint more-it opens worlds to me I never though I had:) (The shoes in the shot are fantastic too!!)

Always such simple beautiful ideas at their best!! I want to dress our hamper too…maybe my laundry baskets whilst I’m at it so that doing the laundry is more fun. Hopefully it will inspire me to attack the hamper more dutifully;)
that’s a great DIY! thanks for sharing, Rachel!
Such a brilliantly simple way to jazz up a household item! Love it!
You girls are the best!

So cool! I love the earthy wicker mixed with the modern stripe. I need one of these in my life!
What an awesome idea–I’d love to try this with neon!
Beautiful and easy. Sadly, I love my hamper just as it is 🙂
I may try this technique with a beach bag, though!
As allways, THANK YOU FOR SHARING! 😀
Nice idea! I would have used a brighter colour though I’m not sure I like the black. It would look super cute with the pastel trend that’s hot at the moment, maybe a minty colour or a peach 🙂

Always great how even something as simple as a coat of paint can add a little pizzazz to an otherwise typical item. Love it!
This is such a cute idea! Definitely going to try this sometime over this weekend. My hamper needs a major makeover… (;

I’d love this with gold or even a turquoise spray.
Cute idea! Was there any trouble with getting the duct tape to come back off?
