Flower Bucket Redo

I had this project on my “to do” list but it kept getting pushed down.  A flower bucket that I had received with some flowers awhile ago and I painted it pink the first time around {it was originally brown}.

I decided to repaint it and used the Rustoleum Aluminum spray paint that I already had.

Too shiny, so I drybrushed some Antique White craft paint on it.

Which kind of gives it an oxidized look.

Then I used a new stencil I got and stenciled “No. 6” using this French script stencil set onto a strip of Osnaberg fabric.  I sewed around the image and frayed the edges a little bit.

I attached it to the flower bucket with a spray adhesive.

I’m liking it much better now!

I made up a few extra of these stenciled fabric strips and put them in my Etsy, so you could make up your own accessories with them.

  15. Very pretty. I like how you added the fabric to yours too. I have a bucket this exact same shape that I am going to store my rulers in at school. I was thinking it would be fun to make ruler markings out of vinyl going down the bucket. I still have to figure the logistics of that out.
