I got this vintage hamper at a thrift store for $3. It had a little bit of damage at the very bottom, but that was it. The rest of it was in great shape:
So..to cover up the bottom, I smacked on some velcro:
…then attached this little ruffle thing I’d picked up at Goodwill for 50 cents a couple of years ago.
And there ya have it. Revamped Laundry Hamper. Total cost: $3.50
This exact hamper is over at Ruby Lane Vintage & Antiques for $34.00.












Clever idea for an otherwise overlooked item. I’m tempted to try this with a more tailored skirt for a more masculine look. Thanks for the idea!
