Wicker Chest

I got this beautiful wicker chest from Goodwill for $20! It was perfect...well, almost...it was just missing a little COLOR!

What you'll need:

• Wicker chest
• Color Perfect by Rit Dye (I used Amethyst Purple)
• Tarp or plastic garbage bags
• Gloves (optional)
• Polyurethane or other sealing agent (optional but not necessary) 

1. Place chest on tarp or garbage bag to protect flooring
2. Using Rit's Color Perfect and the spray nozzle (note: Color Perfect comes already diluted) spray the outside of the chest

 
3. Allow some time to dry (this gives the wicker some time to absorb the dye...it does not need to be completely dry to continue)
4. Now spray the inside of the chest and allow it to dry
5. Apply additional coats until desired color is reached (I applied 2 coats)
6. Optional: Coat with Polyurethane or other sealing agent

Chests make great coffee tables or decorative storage.  Be on the look out for one and get creative!
