DIY: flower girl baskets

NewlyWeducated, on October 20, 2016 at 11:42 PM Posted in Do It Yourself 0 39

One of the worst sticker shock moments I had was shopping for flower girl baskets! Most of the ones I came across were $40+ each, they were awkwardly tiny, and not very cute. So I decided to make my own! For $25 at hobby lobby I got everything to make these, took me about 30 min. I used: plain wood baskets, chalky finish white spray paint, flower and pearl adornments from the scrapbook section, a little silk material, and hot glue. Our colors are light pink and dark gray so I just incorporated them slightly in the flowers and the basket lining. Here is the before pic of the baskets...finished product below!

    Flowers I used all came out of one little scrapbooking packet

    First spray painted the baskets and let dry. I did 2 coats. Then cut squares of the silk material and hot glued them inside around the edges of the baskets for a lining.

    Arranged some flowers on one corner of each basket and hot glued into place. Also added pearl detail to the handles

    Thanks guys! I needed the second opinion, sometimes I stare at something too long and it starts looking ridiculous haha.

    Great job! I was so surprised to see how expensive flower girl baskets are, with not that many options.

    Super cute. I went ahead and bought one at Hobby Lobby. It matched one of my colors perfectly and I knew my flower girl would love the pearl accents and use the basket for a long time. But seeing this makes me wish I would have made one myself.
