“The leather look buckle straps are perfect for attaching onto the @kmartausbamboo ladder and really give the baskets a fabulous look.”

The mum simply took the basket and rearranged the buckle straps by sliding them up, so they sat a little higher up.

Then she attached them to the Kmart bamboo ladder, so they sat on the rungs.

To get the baskets to sit properly, she said she ‘put the buckles towards the second last hole to hang a little lower so they sit on the rungs.’
