Welcome to the November Creative Crafts Blog Hop!
A big thank you to Sara from Birdz of a Feather for hosting!
Welcome friends, readers, and visitors from
Cecelia at My Thrift Store Addiction
Today I want to share this easy holiday craft idea with you,
Holiday Buckets!
A decorated bucket can elevate the simplest gift,
you can tuck in some holiday candy,
a batch of homemade cookies, anything you want!
It also can be used as a decoration or centerpiece,
so it’s really a gift in itself~
I gathered some Christmas things from my craft stash,
ribbons, little gift packages, berries, mini ornaments, glass beads
and a couple of buckets
I didn’t really have a plan, just sat down and started playing…
I tied a band of ribbon tied around the galvanized bucket
and made a bow tied with a wired strand of berries
I tied 2 lengths of sheer red ribbon around the rope handle on one side
Then I added a piece of candy cane ribbon
I attached the bow on top and added a little red truck ornament
Red and green glass beads are glued around the brim
for a finishing touch
I tied small red bows on the handle of the black polka dot bucket
Then I slid them up the handle a little
and tied a length of wire edged plaid ribbon underneath
I had some mini ornaments on wrapped wire stems
that I used to attach a gift package around each side of the handle
between the ribbons
I added a Merry Christmas gift tag
and a fun ornament to complete this bucket
These buckets came together in no time at all
and will be a festive special gift~
AND
using things I already had, they didn’t cost anything!
