Directions
1. Place drop cloths or newspapers on your floor to protect it from any spills. Use a paint tray to catch run-off paint.
2. Grab a friend or family member: You will handle the paint, and your partner will hold the basket.
3. Slowly pour paint down the lower half of the basket while your partner hold it by the upper rim and rotates it. Collect paint in paint tray and pour back into can.
4. Let dry completely. Repeat as needed. Click here to watch the video tutorial.
