I was looking for something different to make for the Halloween season and found this DIY on Pinterest. It an easy craft and you can find all the items easily at your local Walmart, Dollar Tree and craft store. Let's get started!
Supplies:
- 3 pumpkin pails - Walmart
- Off white spray paint, preferably for plastic - Walmart
- Metallic acrylic paint - Walmart
- small paint brush - Dollar Tree
- hot glue gun - Walmart
- hot glue sticks - Dollar Tree
- Jute cord - Dollar Tree
- some sort of weight: sand, rocks, etc.
- assorted fall flowers - Dollar Tree
Instructions:
The first thing I did was spray paint the pails. If I had thought more about it, I would have glued them all together first then spray painted. But I painted them all individually. You may want to seal them afterwards as I found out the paint didn't adhere as well as I thought. I might go back later and seal.
It took a few coats to cover. It didn't take long between coats to dry. I left the handles on because it was easier to handle them and transport them back to my craft room and finish the project.
After a few hours of dry time, I painted the faces with a metallic paint. It took a couple of coats of paint to make it look super gold.
After all the paint was good and dry, I put a large rock in the bottom pail for stability.
I glued the pails together with hot glue and when along the outside after they were all together and added more glue.
Jute cord finished this project off and hid the messy glue. I tacked the cord at the ends with hot glue.
I had a bunch of fall silk flowers in my stash and used them to fill the top.
I'm super happy with this craft. As you can see I didn't line the faces up on purpose because I thought it would add a little character to the craft.
