Inexpensive, Attractive Waste Basket

By

Barb in Tennessee

I found some cute woven plant baskets at the Dollar Tree........for only a dollar. :)
They are very light weight, come in round, and square shapes.
They make great little waste baskets for the bathroom, for bedside, or in the kid's bedrooms. The plastic bags from the grocery store.
You could "gussie" them up a bit with the glue gun and silk flowers around the edge, or lace, or just whatever comes to mind.

Thank you tlbuck and Jill. The bucket containers are also good ideas. Thanks also to Anne for giving us a new idea to think about!

I got a 5-gallon container from my local Pizza Hut that they usually mix sauces in. Since this one had a crack in the top, it serves as a quickie trashcan for when I am spotchecking the living room, afterwards, as a foot rest because my legs tend to swell a bit and keeping them elevated helps with the swelling. Perfect for when I am net surfing...LOL!

I think Anne meant WICKER baskets, not plastic buckets.

You can get these flower buckets FREE at Wal-mart. Ask in the floral dept. for the buckets that they store cut flowers in. They make great cleaning buckets as well!
