Creations, Burlap ribbon basket
This is just a little mini project, hardly worth mentioning, but maybe it will spur you on to fix something that’s been bugging you…
The thorn in my side was in the Master bathroom
I would love to give you the impression that I always have lovely fresh flowers in the bath but sigh~nope, it usually looks like
this…
Every time I walked by this I would think, wow that looks terrible! Then the other day I stopped and had a little conversation with myself, “Really? This is quite embarrassing! Surely there is something around here that you could put them in or on and make that sloppy pile look better!”
Out in the garage I found a basket…and spied my spool of burlap ribbon
hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm, don’t want polka dots…..
how about stripes! Any kind of craft paint or acrylic will work~
I actually even measured the stripes out and taped them off…which was sooooooo unlike me, I’m much too impatient for that normally….
but I’m glad I did because I got a really clean edge on the stripes
I hung the length up to dry thoroughly
and tied it around the basket. Now I warned you at the beginning this wasn’t rocket science…
but now everytime I walk by I smile instead of rolling my eyes….of course now I’m noticing that my towels are old, and ugly and I really should get new fluffy beautiful new ones…but in the meantime, it’s an improvement!
Sometimes the littlest things can make a big difference! Thanks so much for stopping by!

Love your creative and tidy fix with your ribbon basket for towels Jenna! What a great solution! It’s time for me to go towel shopping too 🙂
One discovery ALWAYS leads to another…and another…and another!!! You’ll get new towels and then discover your soaps look to ordinary! 🙂 It’s the way of the world!!! 🙂
Great job on solving the problem!!! It’s a 1000% improvement in the system and very stylish to boot!
Fabulous solution to the towel dilemma, Jenna.
That turned out so pretty, and I’m in love with your bathroom. Gorgeous! laurie
so cute and clever…love how it matches the countertop
Isn’t it the littlest of things that make our hearts sing? What a fun project! Thanks for sharing at Monday Funday!
Jenna, this is wonderful! I love the way you hung it to dry, too. This painted ribbon is a perfect addition to your beautiful master bath! You’re so very creative. 🙂
I have just the basket that I use for a wastebasket in my guest bath that would be perfect for this
Love this idea!! How cute is that….
