Antique Clothespin Baskets

I love to repurpose items and these baskets are just that!

Using antique clothespins as legs, these small storage baskets are perfect in a primitive home. 

Dark denim or maroon not your color?  I'm happy to take custom orders.

Upclose so you can see the "legs" aka clothespins. 

These are available at my Etsy shop - http://www.etsy.com/shop/1803ohiofarmbaskets

Home Spun Wool Basket

My New Favorite Basket

I know, I always say this whenever I make a new basket, but this is my now favorite!

I made a square market basket, stained it and then wrapped the handle with black rug hooking wool.  I whip stitched the wool around the handle so it's tight and won't slide.

It's now in my Etsy shop.
