Sprinkles Blanket BasketI don’t know if this happens with your kiddos but I swear mine would rather walk around wrapped in a throw blanket than they would put on appropriate clothes… or any clothes. Even better, they don’t even stick to one blanket. Instead by the end of the day my living room looks like a second-hand blanket store. I wanted an easy way to corral all of those blankets every day. If you follow me on Instagram, you also know that I’m totally trying to sneak more color into our decor. Put the 2 together and you get this awesome DIY sprinkles basket to get all of the blankets organized quickly, easily, and in style! Sprinkles Basket with Blanket Hanging Out

DIY Sprinkles Basket Materials

  • Large Thrift Store Basket
  • White Spray Paint (The Kind for Wood Works Best)
  • Multiple Bright Colors of Acrylic Paint
  • Small Flat Paint Brush
  • Clear Acrylic Sealant

  Thrift Store Basket

Step 1

First, thoroughly clean your basket. This helps the paint stick to it better, plus you really want to store your blankets in a clean basket. If it’s especially dusty or dingy, use a soft bristle toothbrush to get the crevices clean.

Step 2

Then place your basket on a protected surface and spray paint the entire basket white. Note:

  • If you have to do it one side at a time, allow the painted side to dry before turning and painting the second side.

Step 3

Allow the white spray paint to dry completely before moving on.     White Basket with Green Sprinkles Painted on It

Step 4

After the paint has dried, pick a bright acrylic paint and paint small rectangles all over the basket.   White Basket with Green and Blue Sprinkles Painted on It

Step 5

Next, pick a second bright color and, again, paint small rectangles all over the basket. Sprinkles Blanket Basket

Step 6

Continue painting different colored triangles until you have the desired amount on your basket. I recommend using at least 3-4 different colors.

Step 7

Then let your acrylic paint dry completely.

Step 8

Lastly, seal your entire basket with a coat of clear acrylic sealant and allow it to dry before using to store your blankets.
