I finished my hamper redo last week. I am so thrilled how it turned out. This is one of the things I enjoy about blogging. I would never have thought to just tear something apart and try to redo it, well not something like this. My mind has been opened to a whole new world of crafting and thriftiness. I am really enjoying it. What do you think? Here are the before and after pictures of my hamper....
Before- UGH!
After- ahh, much better!
I especially like the cording at the top. It gave it just a bit of color. This project only cost about $5. I already had the paint. The fabric was clearanced at Walmart and I have quite a bit left, plus the cording and voila!

Genius idea! Way to stretch a little bit more life out of the old hamper. This Tightwad is so proud!
ReplyDeleteThat is terrific!!! Those kinds of hampers aren't very cute or decorative when they're brand new. You really dialed up the looks of it!! I'd do that to a brand new one! LOL Great job!
ReplyDeleteWow, looks 100% better! Very thrifty of you.
ReplyDeleteWAY WAY WAY better! I really like the cording on the top too... really makes it I think! : )
ReplyDeleteVery nice transformation. You know what I'm realizing? Hampers are EXPENSIVE. I've been looking for a bigger one for a long time and they are way out of my budget. This is a good way to revamp something old and make it new again! I wish I could revamp mine into something bigger! ;)
ReplyDeleteMeg said it Hampers are very expensive...brilliant thrifty make-over...
