DIY Painted Wicker Basket Makeover

I found a cute house shaped basket at Homegoods (you can buy a similar house shaped basket here ) and thought that would make a unique tip jar. (Disclosure: I am including affiliate links for your convenience.)

What I really like about this basket is that it offers two ways for people to leave tips. Simply open the lid and they can drop in some cash, or open the door and leave their tip inside.

While it's already cute on its own, I knew it could use a little makeover to make it even cuter.

This basket is just begging for a makeover!

This easy recipe combines Epson and sea salts, known for their muscle-relaxing properties, with baking soda, which can sooth itchy and irritated skin, and is quick and easy to make. It also is a fantastic handmade gift idea for anyone in need of a little pampering.
