Thrift Store Painted Christmas Decor Basket

Thanks for Sharing!

I’m working on switching out from our fall decor to Christmas and this Painted Christmas Decor Basket was the perfect size to create a Christmas vignette.

Let’s start with this picnic basket that I picked up at the thrift store…

A super cute picnic basket that was in pretty good shape.

I started by dry brushing the basket with some white chalky paint.  I wanted to brighten it up a bit before I filled it with Christmas goodness.

Then it was just piling in the layers.

I placed my mini Christmas tree in first.  It’s covered with two different wood slice ornaments.

I filled a little lantern with some red and gold bulbs.

The I filled the rest of the picnic basket with red and gold bulbs and some pinecones.

Then i just layered a plaid hand towel and a soft white scarf over the back of the basket.

Super easy, just using items I had to create a welcoming Christmas vignette.
