Ideas on Decorating Storage Baskets and Bins

Storage baskets and storage bins are so useful and a fun way to organize things in your home.  You can use these baskets to store just about anything in your home from makeup to crayons to recipes.  These storage units can be easily purchased in most discount stores and they are available in most shapes and colors.  But the fun part is decorating these fun containers.

Paint
Paints are so much fun to use, so take a can of spray paint and have some fun.  You can use black or you can use pastel colors.  Or go for a cool metallic look.  Before you do any kind of painting, be sure to wash the basket or bin and let dry.  This cleaning allows the removal or dirt and dust.

Fabric
Fabrics are the perfect way to make baskets and bins look stunning.  You may want to choose fabrics that match any kind of décor that you have in your home.  Or you can create a unique look such as a country appearance or geometric pattern.  To make the fabric stick to the bins, you can use adhesive spray.  You can tie ribbons to the basket.

Ribbon
If the outside of the basket or bin looks great as it is, you can add ribbon to decorate the baskets.  You can use satin ribbon for a softer touch.  If you have a larger basket, you can try using wide ribbon. 

Paper
Cover bins and storage baskets with wrapping paper or even try using wallpaper.  You can cover the whole storage container or just parts of it.  The choice is yours on how you want it decorated.
