Cozy Blanket Basket with Chalkboard Sign

ByLisa

Every fall as the weather brings a chill to the air, my first instinct is to wrap myself up in a cozy blanket. With our Annual Chili Cook off party right around the corner I thought it would be fun to have a basket of blankets for people to use in case they get cold, since the party is done in the backyard. Last year we had a pretty cold night for the party and blankets were welcomed!

I stumbled upon this wire basket at TJ Maxx one day and thought it would be perfect for my blankets. I loved the organic feel of the handles and the industrial feel of the wire making it perfect for indoors or out. So I snagged it for $12.99. I then rounded up my collection of blankets.

I rolled each blanket and arranged them around the basket, but it was still missing something. It needed a sign. On a recent trip to the Dollar Tree, I randomly came across these 5×7 chalkboards. I was so excited to find them for only a $1 that I bought a bunch to use for our Chili Cook Off Party. It turns out I didn’t need all of them so I had an extra 🙂A hand holding a small, rectangular chalkboard with a light blue label that reads "Chalkboard Tableau noir." Various colorful school supplies, including markers and pens, are displayed on shelves in the background.

They are basically a pegboard style material without the holes. I decided to fasten it to the basket with some twine we had. To do so, I needed to drill some holes.A yellow cordless drill with a drill bit, a spool of twine, and a black chalkboard labeled "Chalkboard Tableau noir" are placed on a concrete floor.

Once my holes were drilled, I used my chalk marker to write on it.A black and white chalk marker lies horizontally on a white surface. The marker has "Chalk Marker" written on it. The background is slightly blurred, showing part of a lamp and a door handle.

A wire basket filled with colorful, patterned blankets has a small blackboard sign hanging on it with the handwritten message "get cozy" in white chalk.

Then I threaded the twine through the holes and tied it to the basket.

Tah Dah!!!!
