Take Four... Belly Baskets

I know belly baskets have been around for a while now but I've spotted more and more of them recently on my scrolls through instagram and pinterest.

Here are four things to do with these multi tasking baskets...

I'm a bit partial to the 'dipped' bottoms, with a lovely big plant inside, so nice!

A very quick search on pinterest will give you an array of DIY tutorials
if you fancy giving them a go, or some of the below can be bought exactly as they are from some fabulous online shops, so no fuss.

1 | Pop in a plant

2 | Paint and decorate

3 | Dipped bottoms

4 | Storage for your kiddos, or yourself of course!
