Steps

Place letter stencils onto basket surface and, using a foam paint brush, lightly dab Testors acrylic craft paint onto the letter cut-outs to customize with a name, phrase, or word such as “Welcome.”
Allow the stencilled letters to dry thoroughly before further handling the basket.Using a fresh foam brush, apply a light coat of Testors acrylic craft paint to the bottom half of the basket to create a two-toned effect.
Once all paint is completely dry (approximately 1 hour), apply a band of fringe or trim around the top edge of the basket by using a hot glue gun.
Once the circumference is trimmed, cut the end with scissors and secure with extra hot glue.
