Rag Baskets ~ Farmhouse Style

Happy Monday

 

Some time ago

I had an idea to trim a few metal and wire baskets with torn fabrics.

As it turns out, it is very much a farmhouse style look

and so fun to do.

A little time consuming with ripping

the fabric and tying around the basket edges,

but a nice result.

 

Here are a few I created.

 

 

 

Here's one in a shabby wrap style

with my painted cottage roses.

 

Another using a blue toile flannel fabric

 in a wrap style.

 

 

I'm also working on

a rag wreath and

lampshade rag trims

and I hope to share those soon.

 

The ideas using rag trims could be endless.

It reminds me of many creations

we used to call "Homespun"

from my folk art days,

which also used torn and ripped

fabric scraps.

 

Styles do come around again

and this idea really has a farmhouse look

using the neutral rags

and shabby using the pastels.

 

 

Hope you found some inspiration

using fabric rags.

 

 

 

Till next time.

Have a great week.
