I realize that it is only the beginning of September, but knowing that I will be out of commission around Halloween time makes me want to get some projects done now. I picked up some super cute Happy Halloween buckets in the Target Dollar Spot last year on clearance for a quarter each.
I made made these super easy ghost buckets with Wynn for her two preschool teachers. We placed a Styrofoam ball wrapped in chevron burlap in the bucket. Then we wrapped two Tootsie Pops with napkins and tied it with some straw. Wynn helped me to draw two eyes on each ghost, and then we stuck them through the burlap and into the Styrofoam.
Now I'm wishing that I had snagged a couple more of these buckets last year. They could be used to make all sorts of things for Halloween. These cost probably around $.75 to make for each teacher. Target always seems to have some sort of buckets in their Dollar Spot though. Thanks so much for stopping by!
Super cute! I love buying AFTER the holiday for a great sale : )

ReplyDeleteHow cute are these?! My problem with buying things after a holiday is that I often forget what I have (or where I put it) by the time that holiday rolls around the next year... ;) Thanks for this great idea!
