I’m addicted to thrift store shopping. As a matter of fact, I visit them more than I care to admit! I think that it’s because of a strong desire within me to create something out of nothing. I have a fault a trait that allows me to see the beauty in everything I look at, which includes thrift store finds! At times I think it’s just pure brilliance….but, that’s just me!

Thrift Store Finds- How To Make Gold-Dipped Baskets

Baskets are another one of those items that you can bank on finding at every garage sale and thrift store you visit. I love working with them because they’re so versatile! They can be spray-painted a solid color, striped, color-blocked, stained and in this case…Dipped! It’s super simple to make dipped baskets…let’s get started.

These Plain Jane baskets were a thrift store find for $2.00 a piece.  They are tall (more vase-like) which makes them perfect for “dipped baskets.”

I have provided affiliate links for your shopping convenience. If you buy something from clicking one of my links, I will get a commission from the sale. It will not cost you a penny more and allows me to keep sharing my ideas with you for free. You can see my full disclosure here. Thank you for supporting my blog!

Supplies to make over your thrift store finds:

  • Baskets
  • Frog Tape
  • Rustoleum Metallic Gold Spray Paint

Thrift Store Finds- How To Make Gold-Dipped Baskets

Begin by prepping for spray paint by taping off a hard line with the Frog Tape.  I may have gone a little overboard on the tape, but always better safe than sorry.  For this effect, I only want spray paint on the lower half of the basket.

Using  Rustoleum Metallic Gold spray paint, apply 2 thin, even coats of spray paint, letting each coat completely dry in between.

Remove tape {which for some reason is by far my favorite part!} and voila! You have updated two thrift store baskets to look like they’ve been dipped in gold.

Not a fan of gold???  This technique can be done in any color. Here are a few ideas to get your imagination working:

    • Bright, fun colors liven up any room.
    • Put a smaller vase inside the basket itself and fill with fresh flowers for a welcoming entryway.
    • A larger dipped basket serves as pretty storage in the bathroom.
    • Customize dipped baskets for newlyweds and give as gifts for their new home.
    • Place a wine bottle {unopened of course!} to welcome new neighbors to the neighborhood.
    • Smaller baskets make beautiful vessels to collect change or for holding writing instruments.

Like the “dipped-effect” look but short on time? Here are some of my favorite dipped accessories you can purchase today:
