Hopefully everyone is having an awesome and productive week!! I have been working on fall crafts for my house. Fall is my absolutely favorite time of the year. The colors are magnificent, the weather gives me all the feels, and my PSL soothes my soul! With that said, I want to share with you guys a quick, easy, and super cheap fall home decorative piece.
Supplies Needed
1. Plastic Pumpkin Buckets
I purchased mine from Walmart for $.99 I think they can only be purchaed in the store but I am posting the link to the webiste below.
2. Spray Paint
Your color preference of course. I used a metallic gold. Just make sure that it will bond to plastic.
3. You will also need a sealer once you're finished painting them. This is the one I used but of course it's totally up to you.
4. You will aslo need an adehsive to stack the pumpkins togteher. I used hot glue and it worked perfectly fine. I am sure you can use E600 or any other adhesive that will bond plastic.
5. Vinyl
I used my Cricut Maker to cut words for my pumpkins. I used Cricut Adhesive Foil. Which is actually on sale right now.

6. Lastly you will need something to put into the top of the open bucket. I chose to use faux flowers, the I purchased from the good ole' Dollar Tree! Remember I mentioned this was a super cheap diy!

First you will start off by removing the handles from the buckets.
Now its time to stack them and glue them together. Make sure all of the faces are facing the same direction.
Spray Paint Time
I did maybe 3 layers. I just wanted to make sure that you could'nt see any of original pink color. After it was completely dry I put on two layers of the semi-gloss clear sealer. I actually let that dry overnight. I did this to make sure the transfer tape would not cause the paint to peel when it was time to apply the vinyl decal.
I cut decals in Design Space, with the Crircut Maker.
Next I applied the decals to the pumpkins, added the flowers, and some cute fall theme ribbon.
Here is the finished product.
Disclaimer: I am not a floral designer. I am a paper crafter so don't judge me! Lol
