shabby chic chalk paint Parisian basket

Here is an apple basket I found for $2 thrifting. It was brown before - sorry no before photos (I always get ahead of myself!). I painted it with white chalk paint I made using this recipe:

•  1/2 cup Plaster of Paris
•  1/2 cup warm water 
•  1-1/2 cups latex paint
• directions: mix plaster and water first, then add paint!!!

Then I stenciled on the design!
