Megpie Designs: DCC Blog Hop

~ Fishing Bucket ~

I have been trying to blog for days now.

Something is wrong with my internet. Or maybe

it's my laptop. I suppose I should just

admit it's user-error.

It's definitely FrUsTraTiNg!!! !!! !!!

That word could use some extra

exclamation points.

Better late than never, I guess, here

are some step by step pics

of the big plastic bucket I painted for

my dad to put on his boat dock.

I started with a tall plastic bucket I

found at Wal-Mart.

I wanted my design centered over the logo,

so I taped off an area with painters tape.

I used spray paint for plastic in Black,

and then I sprayed over the Black with Yellow.

I removed all the tape and transferred my design.

Transfer the main pattern lines by

sliding a piece of chaco paper underneath

your pattern.

I squeezed several shades of green onto

my palette and applied them randomly to the bucket.

Then I transferred the details

and added darker greens to shade and

lighter green to highlight.

I added some text and some Extreme Glitter!

Several coats of Mod Podge to seal my design.

I added a little bucket-topper ...

it's like a little tackle box or organizer

that fits perfectly inside the bucket. I found

it in the fishing aisle.

It's fun. It's functional. It's sparkly!!

Who doesn't love sparkly fish??
~It also makes a great gift for Dad!~

Peace and Glittery Fishing Buckets
