Buckets O Luck

I didn’t post these earlier because I didn’t want Mr. You Know Who to see them ( and I never know when he reads my blog but I think I’m pretty safe now). I found these plain buckets in Target’s $1 Section and thought they’d be fun for St. Patrick’s Day. I cut the letters on my Cricut using white vinyl, and since waste not want not…punched the shamrocks from the scraps.

I lined the buckets with white polka dot cellophane I had leftover, and filled with Mr. Chocolate and Chocolate Chip’s favorite candies…at least those that were wrapped in gold foil!  Wrapped one big treat in coordinating green wrapping paper:

Then topped the bigger candy with one of my printables, scaled down, trimmed with decorative edge scissors and mounted to black card stock.

Those are adorable. Great idea. I've seen those buckets and no such brilliant idea entered my head. I love that polka dot cellophane.
