Pick Your Own Pumpkin Bucket

-This post may contain affiliate links-

This summer my mom picked up a couple of these square galvanized buckets for me on clearance thinking they would work well for a project. They are actually ice buckets/beverage dispenser stands, but really any similar sized pocket would work for this project, even a wooden box. Anyway, when she gave them to me I immediately knew what I wanted to do with one of them and I have been waiting for the right season to make it. 

I have collected quite a few little handmade pumpkins over the years and I thought it would be fun to make a little bucket to display them in. With a "pick your own pumpkin at the pumpkin patch" kind of design on it. 

If you don't want to make a bucket to hold pumpkins, this design would also work great on a fall sign. Just put the vinyl on a wood plaque instead of a bucket.

How to Make a Pick Your Own Pumpkin Bucket

You will need:

• Cricut machine (I used my Cricut Joy for this project)
• adhesive vinyl in black and orange (I used Permanent Smart Vinyl)
• transfer tape
• a galvanized bucket or other surface to put the design on

Instructions:

Open the Pumpkin Patch Bucket Design Space file.

Resize the design as needed to fit your surface. 

Cut the design out of vinyl.

Weed the design and use transfer tape to transfer the image onto your surface.
