DIY: Home Frosting

According to Leesa from Home Frosting, you can create these super cute baskets...

using wire hanging baskets found at a feed store, a little linen and burlap, paint and canning jar lids!

See the full tutorial at Rusty Labels & Basket Liners.

But wait - there's more. Learn how to make this pretty Burlap & Canvas Monogrammed Banner.

Lesa has so many cute ideas. Here are a few highlights of the things you'll see at Home Frosting:

I love this "candle gazebo". It used to be an ugly light fixture!

Adorable Dream Sign

Furniture Makeovers

Room Makeover and a Burlap Bulletin Board.

I LOVE that some of her projects are completed using materials she already has. Awesome, Lesa!

I spent SO much time there reading through her last six months of posts...she creates the cutest stuff!

Visit Lesa at

for more "home frosting" ideas. :) I just love that blog name, don't you?
