Patriotic Buckets
I picked up these cute little red and blue buckets a couple of years ago when my daughter and I went to Florida...it was a store like a dollar shop...only everything wasn't a dollar...and I can't remember the name of the place and there was no name on the old receipt...I would have purchased more, but they only had two and they were $1.25 each and are 5 1/2 inches tall...but I found them last night in my stash closet and thought it was perfect for today...there was hardly and stampin' that had to be done...this was a fun item to alter.
On the red bucket I used my Crop-a-dile to punch some holes at the top of the bucket to put the white and blue star brads ...at the base of the bucket I had Navy Blue Star Ribbon from the Card Company...I had to run it through my Xyron so it would stick really well...I don't know if you can tell, but over the opening of the large star in the middle ...I used the heavy plastic from the box that the brads came in to cover the star opening...I cut out two pieces and dusted it with the Dazzling diamonds from Stampin' Up...sandwiched them together and used the red Sticky Strip from Stampin' Up to hold it together and hold it to the inside over the opening of the star ...the Red Star Ribbon is from the Card Company...the plain blue and white ribbons are from Michael's...the tag is made from left over scraps of card stock...Whisper White, Brilliant Blue and Real Red...the "Celebrate" sentiment is from Wonderful Words and is stamped with Brilliant blue ink...stamp set, card stock, and ink are both from Stampin' Up.
