These little buckets are the perfect way to deliver wrapped treats for some Halloween fun! They also look great just sitting on a shelf adding a little October flare to your room!

Things you’ll need:
Clear buckets with lids
Orange acrylic paint
Black contact paper
Scissors
Water

Things to do:
1. Cut spooky or silly face shapes from your black contact paper and place them on the outside of the buckets, centering them between the handles.

2. Pour a generous amount of paint and a small amount of water (if the paint is thick) into the bucket and firmly close the lid.
3. Roll the bucket around gently, allowing the paint to coat the inside of the walls.
4. Remove the lid and allow the paint to dry.

  3. Where do you find buckets that small and new.You paint the paint on contact paper and put blk. paint inside but you stopped there. No instructions after that. I know you paint the orange somewhere but the face is already on. Dont you paint the can first then the face??

    1. You can buy the buckets here on Amazon… http://factorydirectcraft.com/catalog/products/2026_2087-41248-keepsake_totes_clear_paint_can.html
      As far as the instructions, step 1 explains that you cut out the faces from black construction paper and glue them on the outside of the containers. Then the following steps explain that you pour the orange paint inside of the cans and let dry. I hope this helps a bit more! Please let me know if you have any other questions.

  4. I think these are brilliant, and would be so easy for our after-schools to make , but where do you buy the buckets?
