DAPER HAMPER

Finished up the little hamper project.  I found a wonderful milk paint and tried it out on my little hamper and was quite impressed with the results. I have tried many different milk paints over the years and really do  prefer them over chalk paint. I know the chalk is all the rage now but I do not like the look you get with it.  I think it looks cheap. This milk paint goes on smooth and covers flaws pretty darn good and I find very little brush strokes when it dries. the paint is called General Finishes.

Next I went over it with a glaze finish. I usually use colored wax but the glaze goes on super easy and dries really fast.

 

 I lined the inside with  a drop cloth and used Velcro the attach.

 

Then I design a little rug to go onto the lid.

 

 I covered the back of the lid with a piece of wool.

 

 Love these little handles on the side.

Here is the end results!
