Upcycle a Vintage Picnic Basket

I have such a fondness for vintage picnic baskets. And while I don't collect them, I do like to find them and fix them up for re-sale. 

upcycle a vintage picnic basket with Fusion paint and old sign stencils

This one was originally a natural color, but was in pretty rough shape--a little squished and a stain on the top.  I painted it with Fusion Mineral paint in Fort York Red (the very best true red I have ever seen).

I then used my very favorite stencil from Funky Junk Interiors Old Sign Stencils--the buffalo check.  Every time I use it, it feels like magic when I pull the stencil off and see perfect buffalo check!

  2. Did you touch up the inside of the basket at all ? If so what did you do and how ?
