A wicker basket bakes an excellent decorative addition to your home or cottage. Not just for "looks" either, these baskets have some of practical uses too. No home is complete minus the unique blend of practicality and charm that may only be offered by wicker baskets.

Wicker baskets have history! Going back to thousands of years BC, these baskets were woven from pliable and fibrous plant materials such as oak, ash, willow, cane and reed. Typically whether solid or reed woven base was laid down first, then, the vertical staves were added as a support frame. The circumference, or sides, with the basket were then woven in an over-under pattern to complete the basket. Different weave placements or materials could possibly be used to create different patterns or finishes. A lid or handle could then be added if desired.

white wicker baskets - There are lots of uses for a wicker basket; as numerous uses as there are sizes and styles. They make excellent sheaths for plants. Often when purchasing a potted plant, the pot may be the least attractive part. Simply placing the entire pot and plant in an appropriately sized wicker basket, will convert it into a work of art. This will bring style and warmth to the deck or patio.

No picnic outing is complete without the traditional picnic basket. I'm discussing the large rounded basket with to big loop handle that we are all familiar with. The basket is the thing that brings the charm towards the picnic outing. This basket is exactly what comes to mind when we think of a romantic picnic for 2, spread out upon a red and white checkered blanket, neighborhood or meadow.

small wicker baskets - Interior ways to use wicker baskets are lots of, and the sky is the limit for what you can come up with. A little wicker basket around the bathroom to hold soaps, a sizable basket on the bathroom floor holding neatly folded shower towels. A large basket in the spare bedroom holding extra blankets and bedding. What about a basket in the corner of the family area holding books and magazines? A fruit basket as the centerpiece for your dining room table... or on the counter, holding spices, condiments or teas.

There is no reason to get sick and tired of these baskets or to run out of uses. They are available in all shapes and sizes and will be purchased cheaply at any department or specialty store. In order to change the look of a basket, or better match the decor of a particular setting, simply spray paint the basket any color you decide on. The sky is the limit... have some fun and enjoy!
