We love giving old things new life. That’s why I am thrilled to be partnering with Savers to show you this fun picnic basket makeover. My girls’ and I love finding treasures at Savers. We were there last week and I spied a beautiful older picnic basket. It was really well made, just waiting for a new chapter! One of our favorite part of living in our new neighborhood is going down to the lake for a walk and picnic. It’s so fun to watch the sunset and play at the park!

I thought it would be awesome to make this picnic basket over with a BOHO twist. While I was at Savers I looked around for a few other items to go along with our picnic basket. I found some matching mason jars with lids which I thought would make awesome beverage containers for our picnic set. I also found a teal tablecloth which I thought could make a soft picnic blanket. On the wall I found different colors of yarn all packaged up which I knew I could make into colorful pom poms and tassels!

You can find pretty much ANYTHING at Savers – there are over 100,000 items with thousands of quality items arriving every single day. Along the wall they have smaller items that are packaged up in clear bags. I love looking for treasures there. It’s the ULTIMATE treasure hunt!! I found some yarn along the wall and I thought it would be perfect to make pom poms and tassels for our BOHO picnic set.

I even found my favorite book on the Saver’s book aisle. It’s a wonderful place to go for books too!

I also found some woven wicker plate holders that are so great for picnics. You put your paper plates inside of the wicker holders and it makes the plate more secure for picnics. I thought these woven wicker plate holders would be SO fun to spray paint different colors.

Spray Picnic Basket White

When I got home I spray painted the picnic basket white.

Spray Plate Holders Different Colors

I also spray painted the wicker plate holders all kinds of different colors with spray paint I had in my garage.

Make Yarn Pom Poms and Tassels

Then the girls and I had a blast making all kinds of different pom poms and tassels with the Savers yarn. We actually made so many that we had some left over for another project. You don’t need any other supplies to make pom poms and tassels. Just yarn and your fingers. You just wrap the yard around your fingers and then tie it in the middle and cut the ends. Then fluff it out and use your scissors to shape the yarn into pom poms. It’s really fun to do with kids!

String Pom Poms, Tassels and Beads to make BOHO Strings.

Once we had the yard and tassels all done, we just strung them onto some twine with a needle with a REALLY big eye. You can actually find needles, beads and everything you need at Savers!! Just look on the wall where they have all of the smaller packaged items hanging up!

Add BOHO Strings to Picnic Basket Handles.

Once the picnic basket and plate holders were dry, we added the beaded tassels to the handles and loaded up our basket with food, the plate holders, plates, utensils and filled up our mason jars with ice and lemonade and hit the park!

    Super cute!
    My daughter is getting into the next size of clothes so I would use the gift card to buy her a new wardrobe!

    I love Savers! The basket is adorable! I wanted one and never thought to just paint one, thanks for the inspiration ???? if I had $50 I would definitely check out the clothing, as I need a wardrobe refresh on a budget. I would also check out the home decor section for vanity accessories, as I just got a vanity. Pretty dishes and candle holders for brushes.

    I love how easy this is! I would try to recreate this same project. At this moment, I’m with my boyfriend after being separated for a couple of months and I have planned to do a cute picnic date someday 🙂

    I would definitely re create this same project. I have a three children all under the age of 5 and they love picnics. We do picnics together as much as possible. I would love nothing more than to create and awesome picnic basket with them!

    I love thrifting, especially at Savers! You never know what treasures you’re going to find. It’s the thrill of the hunt!

    I would buy some summer clothes for my girls and check out the housewares section!

    May 19, 2018 at 9:44 AM

    I would buy a basket!! You totally got me obsessed. I have been dying for that same blanket since it was released lol. It is perfection and you completely hit it out of the ballpark. Savers is my favorite shop in the world!

  10. Beth Anne says

    May 19, 2018 at 7:38 AM

    Oh my, so cute, I usually avoid the basket isle…now I will have to rethink that. I buy whatever catches my eye. Usually something colorful. I love buying kitchen and craft items to repurpose. Thanks for the chance to add to my collection!

  11. Mia White says

    May 13, 2018 at 3:29 AM

    SO cute, great job! I never know what kind of treasure I’ll unearth when I thrift, but I generally try for sassy skirts or cardis, or unique decor for around the house. Thanks for the chance to win!

  12. Natalie says

    May 7, 2018 at 5:21 PM

    I would use the Savers gift card to buy some sprig home decorations and some new spring clothes! I need some shorts for the summer time and t-shirts.

    I am ‘financially challenged’ at the present time, and this picnic basket idea would make a wonderful gift for a bridal shower or wedding gift, or even a cute and fun college graduation gift. I love to sew and craft gifts, and this card would go a long way in helping me do that!
    This is such a wonderful and creative idea!!
    Thank you for sharing!

    I obviously haven’t been into savers in a while to know that there is such a thing as gift cards!!! I love pursuing the home foods but I am on the search for a chair to make over for the front porch and some cute things to turn into planters.

  26. Aubree midgley says

    May 6, 2018 at 8:59 PM

    I would buy my kids clothing ❤️ I love Savers as I can find name brand for $2-4 each item! $50 would get them a new summer outfits!! I would try and also find me a couple projects to work on too ????

    I would love to find some more planters for my back patio. A little spray paint goes a long way to make everything coordinate!

  30. Lyndee Henrichsen says

    May 6, 2018 at 8:25 AM

    Oh my goodness! I haven’t felt the creative bug in a few years but after reading about this simple makeover, I want to pull out my neglected spray paint bottles!

    To be honest, I’m not sure what I would buy. I like to walk around and let inspiration take over.

  31. Chelle Chapman says

    May 6, 2018 at 8:17 AM

    I should be so lucky to find such a GEM!! I like to find colored glass & large glass bowls & baking items to clean up, etch & gift to others. Beautiful job on your creation & Thank You so much for sharing & for the giveaway. Good Luck Y’all!!

    I think that might be the most fun picnic basket I’ve ever seen! I’d love to win the gift card to buy books for my Little Free Library or to find something fun to makeover for the guest bedroom we are redoing. Thanks!

    • Jen says

      May 5, 2018 at 10:45 PM

      And how fun that you have a little free library. That’s so cool!

    I am sorry if this goes through again. Internet is stupid. But I would be in heave with a gift card to Saver’s. I like to go in there looking for wood or metal pieces to recreate. I found two metal pieces to make into a vintagey chicken feeder. =) And yes, their book section is better than any other thrift store.

  35. Pattij says

    May 5, 2018 at 5:44 AM

    Love this basket! It really shouts Summer Picnic!! I’m also redoing my front porch and would love things such as this to brighten it up a little. There is always so many ideas to get from visiting a thrift store!

    i would for sure stock up on some various sizes of my sons clothes and shoes because lately I feel like every other week I’m shopping for the same things he has outgrown! I would also do some digging for some cute but loose and comfy clothes for myself in an attempt to not constantly look like a hot mess. I wish the thrift stores by me carries craft supplies! that would be an amazing game changer!!

  37. Heather R. says

    May 4, 2018 at 7:39 PM

    Oh my goodness!! This project is so cute!! I’m seriously on the hunt to recreate it!! I’d go shopping for my girls so we could add some summer projects to our craft den.

    Honestly I’m so inspired!! ❤️

  38. Kathy E. says

    May 4, 2018 at 7:13 PM

    I would like to buy some fun, bright, summery items to bring life to my deck and porch this summer. Some baskets, pots for plants, outdoor lights and candles would be great!

    May 4, 2018 at 4:50 PM

    So adorable! Love the white basket and the pom poms! I recently found a Savers store in a nearby town, Dublin, Ca! It is a thrifters dream!!! I spend hours in there and still feel like i need more time to see everything???? Upcycling fills my creative bucket!
