I saw this unique 16 inch wire basket… at my favorite thrift store of course!
Cream colored… It was OK…
But, I visualized it hanging on my wall in my Paris Bedroom which is black, gray and bright pink…
I fell in love with the circular wires that formed the pattern…
But, what a waste to fill this beautiful design with fruit… or something else…
I bought a can of black spray paint…
Painted it on the front and back… drying each side until dry…
I got out my paints… knowing I had my bright pink paint… and my bottle of black and white would certainly make gray…
I randomly painted some of the solid circular shapes the bright pink… and gray… leaving some of the black…
I then decided a little flair was needed… but, not too much… It is representing “Paris!”…
So… a yard of black ribbon from my ribbon bag … bought two yards of pink satin ribbon… and tied in a bow near bottom of basket ( now my beautiful wall hanging )…
I love the way it sticks out from the wall giving it some dimension!
I like using things in other ways than they were intended!
