Happy Hour : IKEA Fladis Basket

Maybe you've come across the IKEA Fladis basket.  It wasn't until I saw Martha Stewart's silver-painted Fladis baskets that I thought - fun Happy Hour project!  Let's take a look at how I gave it a little flower power.

 Price reduced to $9.99 at IKEA in Emeryville, CA.  Baskets can also be folded in half.

 I used plain white old house paint for the background.

In honor of the Woodstock concert 50th anniversary this month , I thought daisies would be cool.  Use a pencil to draw out the design and color it. The easy part was that if I wanted to change something, paint easily covers off mistakes.  The hard part is hard to get a straight line with the seagrass.  

Happy summer planter in our family room.  If you use left over paint, this happy hour will cost $10 for the basket.   Depending on your design, this could take multiple happy hours. I'd love to see what you come up wth for your Fladis basket.

Enjoy your Happy Hour!
