DIY French Flower Bucket
Today’s craft project is a pretty & super easy French Flower Bucket!
I used the image that you see above for this project. You can click HERE for the French Label image that you see above.
For this project I used an antique sap bucket that I’ve had for a few years. You can really use whatever you like, this would be cute on a regular metal bucket from the hardware store, a metal paint can, a watering can etc.
I’ve included a supply list and instructions below:
Supply List for DIY French Flower Bucket:
1) Printed copy of the image shown above.
2)Mod Podge (I used matte finish)
3)Brown stampers ink or antiquing glaze
4)Metal Container
5)Paintbrush
Step 1)Print out the image (you may need to adjust the size to fit your project). Cut it out and apply a coat of Mod Podge to the back of the image.
Step 2) Apply label to your metal bucket and smooth out any bubbles. Let dry.
Step 3) Brush on a coat of Mod Podge to the top of the label. Let dry.
Step 4) Apply some brown stampers ink or antiquing glaze with a wet rag. This step is optional.
Step 5) Rub the ink or glaze in, with a light circular motion and remove excess.
You can see I didn’t use a lot of the glaze, I didn’t want it to be too brown, I just wanted to take the white down a notch. That’s all there is to it! Now you have a lovely French bucket to keep display your fresh cut flowers in.

I really like this. Are there any problems with using modge podge on things you print out? I thought I read somewhere that the ink can bleed?

Kathy @ Creative Home Expressions says
Love this, Karen! I’ve already got these types of buckets on my mental shopping list of things to pick up. You had a couple of other labels I wanted to try similarly.
Diane says
Karen, this is cool! And if someone wanted it a different color, easy to print on colored stock! Then maybe just age the edges.
Thanks!
Diane
