Fun DIY Beach Survival Bucket

GiniPSA2

Hi, it’s Gini, and I love going to the beach – not only in the summer, but any time of the year.  I’ve put together a beach survival bucket, that would be a great sendoff gift to any one headed for the sun and sand.  I found a felt bucket on clearance at the craft store – and knew these stamps and some May Arts Ribbon, would bring new life to my marked down bargain.

Supplies:

 

Designer Notes:

  1.  The felt bucket had flowers on it when, I bought it.  So I removed those, so I was ready to decorate.

  1. Attach lengths of ribbon around the bucket, using Scor-tape.  Run a length of ribbon through the existing slots at the base, and tie a bow.
  2. I put a paperback novel, sunscreen, sunglasses and a tag inside the bucket.

  1. To make the tag:

  -Ink the entire tag with a mix of blue Distress Inks

  -Sprinkle the tag with water, to create an ocean spray texture

  -Stamp pattern down the right side, using a portion of the flower circle stamp.

  -Adhere aqua ribbon on the left, using Scor-Tape.

  -Tear layers of Core’Dinations paper to resemble waves, and glue across the bottom.

  -Cut Bathing Beauty Girl from patterned paper, and slip behind the cardstock waves.

  – Stamp sentiment, and cover with round epoxy, using the Epiphany Crafts tool.

  – Glue a ring of the paper cord around the epoxy circle.

  -Stamp flower, using light blue ink. Let dry, and add ultra fine glitter. Fussy cut, add a pearl

    and glue beside the sentiment.

  -Glue a shell on the tag.

  -Add pearls of various sizes around the lower right corner of the tag.

  – Finish the top of your tag with the paper cord.

Even after the beach supplies are exhausted, the tag is a great reminder of those sunny days!
