Vintage Hamper Makeover

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!
