I first started by creating a color block design on the wood frame using the painter's tape.

I then painted each of the sections a different color and waited for it to dry.

Once it is dry, remove the tape and paint or spray the Polyurethane over the top and let it dry. This is to seal the exposed wood portions and ensure it is weatherproof.

Next, you will need to remove the rope handles from the basket. They were attached with a small wire twist-tie, so I simply untwisted it and the rope slipped out.

Next, I covered the top of the frame with paper and spray painted both the outside of the frame as well as the basket my fun mint color.

The last thing you need is to attach the hinge. I placed the hinge on one of the sides and using a pencil I marked where the screws should go. I used the machine screws for the basket side. I used those screws because the ends are flat and will not harm anyone or anything on the inside of the basket. I then used the wood screws for the wood frame. Note: You will need the shortest screws you can find (¼ inch) otherwise, it will poke through the top of your table, it is not very thick.
