Did you know that instant coffee makes a great basket stain? It smells good, too!

The baskets shown here were all stained with coffee. Here’s the recipe:

1 cup dry grounds of instant coffee
2 gallons of boiling water
Mix in sink
Stir well

You can adjust the coffee or water amounts to lighten or darken the color.

The tall stack of baskets on the left were woven by guild members and will be filled with personal care products for the patients at the Matthews Free Medical Clinic.
