DIY Fabric Basket!

I love these baskets I discovered on Pinterest!   My linen closet is looking better  a LITTLE better!!  It still has a LONG way to go but it's getting there!  I don't know about you but my baskets have huge gaps in them and all the "small stuff" like bandages, ointments etc kept falling out of them and driving me CRAZY!!  So, when I saw this idea, I had JUST the place for it!

Here is what you will need:

*fabric of your choice

*basket
*elmers spray bond (pic below)
*good pair of scissors

TIP: Before you start, you will want to cover your surface that you are using, the glue is POTENT and hubby swears I ruined our kitchen table using this stuff (he doesn't realize he ruined it along time ago by burning a hole in it soldering, but that's another story).  So, cover your area!   Also take off any jewelry or watches, because seriously this stuff is YUCKY (and you will glue your fingers together...don't ask).

This is my basket before, unorganized and things were falling out every time I went to look for something.  I HATED this method, but it came with the house, so I used what I had. 

First you want to measure out your fabric of how much your going to need.

Cut it out and lay right side down.

Next spray the fabric down with the glue.

Manipulate the fabric around the basket.   Mine always have an "opening in the bottom" so I just cut a rectangle piece of fabric out and place it in the bottom. Now it will look like this...

Never tell there was an opening there :)

Let the basket dry at least a few hours.  I usually put mine outside on the sun porch and they dry quicker.

Here is what they look like in my linen closet...MUCH better than those ecky white baskets!

Yep, ignore the rest of my linen closet, it's still a work in progress.  I'm looking up ideas on pinterest how to re-organize it :)  

Next week....a baby shower gift!!  A decorative wipe case!
