Materials + Tools
- medium metal wire storage basket
- spray paint (in desired color)
- fabric (in desired pattern)
- spray adhesive
- white foam board
- white hook-and-loop tape
- (2) metal over-the-door hooks
Instructions
1: Transform a medium metal wire storage basket with bright spray paint in your desired color. We used an eye-popping coral shade. Let the basket dry completely.
2: Cut a piece of white foam board to fit the bottom of the basket. Note: The bottom of the basket will be the back of the basket once it's hung.
3: Cut a piece of fabric to fit the foam board, making it one inch larger on each side.
4: Add spray adhesive to the back of the fabric, then gently attach to the foam board. Use additional adhesive to wrap the fabric's edges around the back of the board.

5: Add strips of hook-and-loop fastener to the top and bottom of the longest sides. This will make it easy to swap out your storage basket's "backdrop".

7: Add two metal over-the-door hooks to a door, then hang the basket. Adjust as needed. Note: It works best to use a basket with metal wire on the bottom and sides for this purpose.

8: Cut two strips of hook-and-loop tape to about 12 inches. Attach the strips to the bottom of the basket by looping them through the metal holes.

10: Use the hanging storage basket to hold your iron, starch spray, fabric refresher, spot cleaner, lint roller and any additional ironing supplies you want to keep on hand.
![For extra organization and added style, mount a metal basket on the wall to create a shelf. Then, add a pair of straps below to store your ironing board. For an extra bit of glam, add material to the back side of the shelf that matches your ironing board.](http://hgtvhome.sndimg.com/content/dam/images/hgtv/fullset/2018/3/16/1/Original-Loch-and-Key_EDI800_Ironing-Supplies_Station_beauty_4x3.jpg.rend.hgtvcom.616.822.85.suffix/1521294545542.jpeg)
