Blanket Basket

IMG_4412

For $3 at a garage sale I brought home this large basket.  I really didn’t know what to do with it, but a cool spell finally hit and I thought about blankets.  The basket was originally a teal blue which was pretty, but it didn’t work well in my house.

  I already had some dark tan spray paint so I went out in the almost cold and spray painted it.  I stamped some burlap with Staz On ink and made a framed “Blanket” sign and placed the basket under my sofa table.

The “s” is a little low, but I am going to leave it because I already put up all of my stamps and I don’t like cutting burlap.  It is fuzzy. 

Have you had to get your blankets out yet?  I actually keep one on the couch year around and I sleep with 2 comforters all year too.  I like covers.
