Titi Cuervo asked:


I’d also like the process to use too. I’d like to use spray paint, will this work okay? I’m mainly concerned about the seats….
Do I have to remove the varnish and sand it? and why?

Bepa asked:


Im thinking of creating a food hamper and giving it as a gift for my bf’s parents, but im struggling to find a store that actually sells shallow wicker baskets. Any suggestions?

I’m not bothering to buy the traditional ready made food hampers since there’s bound to be something they dont like, which in turn goes to waste.

Do I need to prime wicker if using a dark color paint?

October 24th, 2011 | Posted in Wicker   Comments Off
shy1 asked:


I have a large wicker basket, that appears to have some kind of hint of whitewash finish on it. I noticed that there is a spray paint out there from Rustoleum in a dark espresso brown. However, if the color is a dark stain, is it necessary then to prime it? (I’ve never done something like this before, so I wasn’t sure.) Thanks for your help!
