Feeling a little more like me again....

...I have been so busy with photography lately that I haven't had an afternoon to just sit and tinker with something...anything! I have had this project ready to go for some time now, I only needed an afternoon and cooperating kiddos to complete. And ladies and gentlemen (well, probably not gentlemen), I FINISHED another project today. Only 22 more on my list.....

I got this idea from my friend, Beth. Take an old laundry bucket that you would normally discard or use outside...



...mod podge scrapbook paper around. I used 3 full 12x12 sheets. (NOTE: a pattern that is up and down will allow for your seams to look better!)



....and then sew a liner! There will be NO tutorial on how to make this. I am not a seamstress and let's just say....I hope nobody EVER looks at the bottom!

For the princess!


For our buddy!
I love it because it holds a TON of his balls!

    Great stuff! We need those 'projects' to keep us sane, don't we? Mine is painting rooms right now~trying to get rid of dull, flat paint.

    Love it! Can you just give a few little instructions on how you made the liner? ribbonblossoms@aol.com

    I promise not to tell! I just seriously have no idea how to start...I'm so not a seamstress either!

    I love it!

    Sooooo very cute idea!!! I love this! I have made fabric buckets before but they are kind of a pain, especially if you dont have a pattern!! This looks easier and cuter than how mine came out!! Thanks for posting this fun idea :o) Feel free to stop by my blog at the Childrens Nest!

    I popped over from U Create too, and I was wondering if FABRIC could be M-podged on the outside of the bucket just as well??? Hmmmmm...I might give it a try

    Great idea!!!
