You can store pillows and plaids not only in the closet, but in a beautiful comfortable basket, which will be perfectly looked in any room. It can be done independently from the simplest basket for garbage and rope. The idea of creating a comfortable basket for storing plaid and pillows came to the author of the master class after it once again folded the plaid scattered around the living room. In the cold season we wook in a warm plaid want everyone. But not all family members are ready to carefully fold textiles when they leave the room. And even if you teach your family to be conscious and remove the place, you need to come up with a place for convenient storage of the plaids. Boxes and chests are poorly suitable for these purposes - they are familiar to keep new clean things. Traditionally, the plaids are just put on the edge of the chair and the sofa, somehow dragged them. But this method is suitable for one or two plaid, and what to do if there are many of them? It looks much more expensive than worth it.
From basket
Living rooms who love comfort very much resemble home textile shop during sales. Therefore, they can be stored as in the store! A small rope basket painted with metallized paint is an excellent option. It can be completely filled with plaids by creating a beautiful draper from above.
For the project you will need:
- Cheap plastic garbage basket or for storing linen;
- acrylic paint colors of red copper;
- about 15 meters of jute rope (the length varies depending on its thickness);
- meter of felt or muslin;
- adhesive gun and sticks;
- knife;
- Paint brush.
With the help of a glue gun, glue felt to the basket, forming folds to repeat its shape.
Now cut everything too much, leaving a little felt from above.
Starting from the very base of the basket, take it with a rope, fixing it with hot glue. Practice to the very edge, leaving it not saved.
Lubricate the rope with glue before sticking to the felt.
Fold the felt so that it turns out to be outside the basket and cut the edge and handles if they are on the basket.
Now felt the remaining felt so that he linked the inside.
Now proceed to painting. In this case, ombré technique was used, which involves a smooth transition of color. Painting the rope need a semi-dry brush.
You need to start painting from the middle part of the basket, barely staring the fibers. Then, as it moves to the bottom, paints need to take more and more. At the very end there must be a dense saturated layer.
To strengthen the effect of ombré, from some moment you need to apply 2 layers of the paint to the rope, then three. The lowest part should seem copper.
As a result, a very smooth transition of color is obtained. And the bright "metal" part is backed by a neutral rope. The thing looks original and stylish. She will not be knocked out of a calm classic interior.
This basket simply asks for it to filled with plaids.
The basket can be put next to the fireplace or any furniture with metal parts. If there is no copper in your interior, you can choose other colors for coloring.
