Monday Monday....so good to me. Monday morning is all I hoped it would be!! We sort of, I thought starting off on a positive note would help this crazy week get off to a good start!
It's October and I am in a very busy travel cycle so there is another Where in the world is Scrapguy coming!!!!! This time I will be in London, Amsterdam, and Shanghai starting a week from Wednesday! This coming weekend I will be in Kansas City to see my family and there just happens to be a CK Scrapbook Show!
OK on to today's project--I love how easy this one was! Easy and cheap--just the way I like my projects!
Since Halloween is coming up, and those nasty plastic bags are so not the accessory our little monsters need to be collecting their candy in--I got this bucket at Michael's for $1!! (they also had black, green, and purple). I used Provo Craft black vinyl for all the cuts.
The trick or treat was cut from the Martha Stewart Seasonal Cake Cartridge (a true gem of a cartridge) at 4". If you have never worked with vinyl, once you do--you will wonder "what was I afraid of?' I have to say I have yet to have a bad cut when using vinyl.
The candies were cut at 3.5" off the Oct 31st seasonal mini cartridge! How fitting, candy on a candy bucket! I did use the transfer tape to apply all the vinyl to the bucket--I promise you it makes the entire process go so much quicker, and placement a breeze!
Since I had everything but the bucket--the project cost only $1 and took 15 minutes max!!!
Make it a great one-
Great idea! I have never used vinyl yet but plan to at some point. THis is FANG-tastic!
ReplyDeleteTurned out really cute! That wouldn't hold much where my boys go trick or treating though! lol We would need a bigger bucket! :)
ReplyDeleteSafe travels Bryan!

Great idea! I wish I had seen this last week. We just had a girl's craft weekend and I hosted it. On each of the beds I put a little welcome Halloween bag filled with goodies [water, candy, snacks etc.]. I bout the plastic trick or treat bags with handles at my local Dollar General. It would have been fun to personalize them with their names. I am going to take this idea and run with it. THANKS!
ReplyDeleteCute, Bryan. I live in Overland Park so I am going to try and make it to the scrapbook show. I will be on the lookout for you! What day are you going?

This is wonderful!! I love it!! Our Grands would love buckets like this!! Guess I need to go find me some buckets!!! :)
ReplyDeleteBryan, Cute idea. I think I will make some for my grandkids. Monday, Monday, oh does that bring back memories. My roommates and I would sing along with the radio on our way to nursing school. Boy is that dating me or what!!!

Wonderful idea! I watched one of my daughters use vinyl when I was teaching her to use the Cricut. It appears to be very easy to use.
ReplyDeleteIt came out looking great!!
ReplyDeleteBryan,
ReplyDeleteSuch a cute candy bucket!!! :) I'll have to make some for my new niece and nephew next year, because my children use their same buckets every year.
Thanks so much for sharing!
Crafty hugs,

This is a great idea for any child to carry around and will hopefully encourage all those to give more.
