Budget-Friendly DIY Storage Baskets

Welcome, everyone! If you’re looking at creating something tactical for your home but still pretty, these 19 Budget-Friendly DIY Storage Baskets are going to be a wonderful and exciting choice and opportunity to do so.

You’ll find that these are budget-friendly yet still really special home accessories that will make you feel like you’re in an expensive craft store!

Let’s start off by looking specifically at customized hampers!

Whether you use them for dirty clothes, throw pillows, or toys, these are easy to customize with some felt and fabric markers!

You can add polka dots, create a fruit shape, like this example, and generally have a lot of fun. Another option for this is just by adding pom poms to your wicker hamper!

You can use the ones from hats or just make them yourself in whatever color you want!

There are quite a few designs on this list that help you enjoy something exciting and fun using a cardboard box as your starting point.

Some use contact paper and little, unique pull knobs on them.

Others use a basic box and then cover it with twine or rope. You can also do this with piping for a chunkier feel.

Other beautiful decorative bins & baskets use a basic wicker basket and add fabric to its inside and outside, or just wave together scraps of fabric to create something totally unique.

Some of the most exciting are the ones that use fencing or chicken wire to create wall-mounted or basic storage baskets that look like something out of a magazine.

These are great specifically for kids’ rooms where the needs change, and seeing what’s in the bins is important.
