- Mint green all-surface craft paint (or color of your choice)
- Wooden bike crate
Use a flat surface to dab paint onto the foam pouncer. Be careful to not have too much or else when you press down the paint will bleed.You only need a thin layer of paint to make the dots, and then you’ll go over them again with a second coat to make nice even circles. When you press the pouncer onto the basket, make a small twisting motions with your wrist while gently pressing down to make the paint go on evenly. Keep making dots as big or small as you’d like in a random pattern until one side is covered. Move around to finish each side once the others are dry.
Once your dots are finished and dried after you’ve made your second coat on them, install the crate brackets to the bike and you’re all set.
