Posted on Friday, September 23rd, 2011 at 4:25 PM

Looking to steer away from your basic basket, but love to use them as an alternative to stowing away things or for simple decoration? It can be rather tough to fine the perfect basket to go with your home too! Look no further!

Materials Needed:

  • Preval Sprayer
  • Desired Craft paint color(s)
  • Drop cloth or newspaper
  • Baskets to be sprayed

What to do:

  1. Mix paint with thinner (water) 2:1 ratio in Preval reservoir
  2. Attach Preval power unit
  3. Lay down drop cloth and assemble baskets to be sprayed
  4. Spray test on some of the drop cloth to make prime the head
  5. Spray evenly along baskets until covered. Allow to dry before applying a second coat
  6. If you'd like, you can use the Preval Spray to apply a layer of Polyurethane as a finish to help keep the color lasting longer.


Try it out and see what great color combinations you could come up with!
