Super cute, easy, fast and inexpensive tin pail for kids.
On a recent trip to big orange I picked up some tin pails ($3.50 each) because I just had to have them, you can relate, and then I quickly came up with a need for them and a project was born.
– tin pails
– decopaint pen
– stencils
– pencil
– masking tape
– clear gloss spray
– ribbon
Using the handles as your guide eyeball the middle and tape down the middle letter:
Trace the stencil with your pencil and then fill in the letter using your decopaint pen:
Keep going working your way from the middle letters outward (hope you don’t have anyone with a really long name!):
Finally spray the letters with a quick coat of clear gloss to seal up the paint otherwise it will scratch off:
Tie on some ribbon and you’re set:
For decoration:
Or for your plastic figurines:
Or all your crayons:
These are ready for a Christmas day game I have in mind for these kids.
veru cute!! i need to get some pails and do this for my playroom!!
Thanks Kelli – good idea for the playroom. I'm sure you could get bigger ones too (I think I saw something similar in the cleaning section.) Imagine all the toys you could contain!
I LOVE these! These are so vibrant and fun!
Take care,
Lisaa
Those buckets are really cute! Nice job on the stencils. 🙂
