Create Holiday Joy with Dip-Dyed Wicker Baskets!

Did you know you can dip-dye wicker baskets?  These unfinished wooden baskets were dip-dyed Cherry Red and Kelly Green using an immersion method, which takes just takes a few minutes. Then they were dried and embellished with Christmas ribbon. For the dyeing, you will need a large container that will hold about 3 gallons of water.  Since the baskets tend to float in the dye bath, we used stones to weight them down. Be sure to use very hot water and turn them, if necessary. Unfinished wood or wicker baskets can be dyed a custom color to coordinate with a holiday, special event or wedding.
