Halloween Metal Bucket Craft Ideas
My first upcycling small metal bucket project was on Halloween, and the holiday provided a perfect opportunity to get creative with metal bucket craft ideas. Turn simple metal buckets into spooky decorations that will delight trick-or-treaters and party guests alike. Let’s explore how this spooky Jack-O’-Lantern Metal Bucket project was made.
Materials used
A metal bucket, orange spray paint, black paintbrush, pencil, and clear sealant spray will do
How to use these materials
First I would clean the metal bucket with soap and water. Dry the bucket thoroughly. Then spray the entire bucket with orange spray paint. Let the paint dry completely, then use a pencil to draw a jack-o’-lantern face on the bucket. When these steps are completed, use a black paintbrush to cover the painted face. After processing, place a battery-powered candle in the bucket to create a glowing effect. You can also fill the bucket with candies or snacks for children to enjoy on Halloween. I believe this is a good idea. According to these methods, you can get a perfect pumpkin metal bucket for Halloween.
