Celebrate Earth Day by giving new life to an old basket!

In this hands-on upcycling workshop, you'll learn how to transform a discarded or outdated basket into a stylish, personalized piece of decor that perfectly fits your space.

We’ll guide you through the process of selecting the right basket, cleaning and repairing it, and prepping it for its makeover. Then, unleash your creativity as we explore various decorating techniques—whether it’s painting, adding embellishments, or repurposing it for a brand-new use.

By the end of the workshop, you'll not only have a unique, eco-friendly creation but also a deeper appreciation for sustainable living and the joy of upcycling. Let’s celebrate Earth Day by reducing waste and making something beautiful!

All materials provided.

About the presenter: Camille Hicks started At Home Custom Crafters after realizing how much she enjoyed refinishing her own kitchen cabinets on her own, and taking on more DIY upcycling projects from there. She and her husband also run Your Dog's Bakery in Mechanicsville.
