DIY Wooden Tote
This tote was another DIY project in which we used up-cycled and leftover wood scraps to create. We also made some of the tote’s contents: Mr. Bunny and the decoupaged eggs. Overall, this was a fun project. Not to mention, it costs nearly nothing. It is perfect to use as an Easter Basket.

Painting
The tote handle was a spindle from a headboard that was painted a light blue, while the rest was raw wood.
Naturally, it needed a makeover with some paint and glaze. First, we used chalk in mustard yellow (a personal favorite) to paint the tote.
The next step was to add some character with a brown glaze. Finally, we finished the tote with clear wax to protect it.
Supplies
- Paint
- Paintbrush
- Glaze
- Wax finish

Mr. Bunny was also cut from scrap wood and then stained. A twine tie was added for the finishing touch.
