Homecoming "Goody" Buckets



Brazoswood Belles is our highschool dance team! The 1st year you join Belles your considered a "Baby Belle" & have "Big Sister Belles" that help you with whatever you need until your next year(s) when you become a "Belle". I was asked to take a plain black bucket & do something FUN & creative to it for a "goody" bucket for one of the Baby Belles (she is going to fill it with goodies & give to her Big Sister's for Homecoming). Here is what I came up with :)
Isn't it Bright & FUN! All you need is:

A few designs of textured scrapbook paper (these days the variety is endless)
Lots of ribbon (widths, colors & styles)
Trim (anything would look great)
Decoupage glue (Mod Podge is amazing)
Letters (I traced & cut mine out on "glitter" scrapbook paper ~ you can use a cricuit for letters if you own one ~ mine is sent off for repair @ the moment)
Scissors
Hot Glue Gun
 
I ending up actually sewing these letters onto two different styles of textured paper but if you don't sew you can decoupage or adhere your letters many different ways. Finally I placed & began to decorate the bucket using all the supplies listed above & a plain boring black bucket become super FUN!!!!  

Hope you have "Buckets" of FUN ~
