Nice Flower Housewarming Gift Idea

I love bringing a bottle of wine, a homemade treat, or a handcrafted item, it’s always the thought that matters! But if you’re strapped for time or idea this gift idea can’t get any easier!

To start, wash your jar and let dry. Remove the price tags from the faux flowers. I used three bunches for this gift but if you only have one or two flower bunches you can always separate the stems to give it a more fluffed out look.

Wrap some twine around the neck of the jar for a rustic look.

Attach a gift tag and you’re done.

Simple right?

Thrift Store Basket Makeover

Start by hunting down the perfect wicker basket. Thrift stores have such a good collection to choose from. Make sure the basket is sturdy and has a flat bottom so it can function well as a tray. I chose a basket that wasn’t too deep and has handles.

Wipe down the basket with a damp cloth to remove any dust or dirt. I actually soaked my basket in water with some bleach. Let it dry completely before moving on to the next step.

Decide how much of the basket you want to paint. I chose only the bottom half so I taped off the top half of the basket. The original plan was to paint the handles and outside, but the paint had soaked through so I had to paint the inside too. I actually really liked how that turned out! You may need a few coats of paint.

Remove the painters tape, let your basket dry and then fill it with your favorite decor pieces! It’s a simple thrift store basket makeover

Styling Your Tray

Now that you have a gorgeous wicker tray, it’s time to style it! Here are a few ideas:

• Coffee Table Centerpiece: Place your tray on a coffee table (this is what I do!) and fill it with wood beads, candles, books, flowers or seasonal decor.
• Kitchen Helper: Use the tray to organize spices, oils, and utensils on your kitchen counter. If you choose to use your basket this way I think adding a coat of sealant over the paint would be a good idea.
• Vanity Organizer: Keep your beauty essentials neatly arranged on your vanity. You can use it for holding perfumes, makeup, and jewelry.

I hope you’re inspired to create your own beautiful tray using a thrifted basket. Don’t forget to share your creations and tag us on Instagram. Happy thrifting and happy creating!
