"P" is for Pail

Super cute, easy, fast and inexpensive tin pail for kids.

On a recent trip to big orange I picked up some tin pails ($3.50 each) because I just had to have them, you can relate, and then I quickly came up with a need for them and a project was born.

I started with these supplies:

- tin pails

- decopaint pen

- stencils

- pencil

- masking tape

- clear gloss spray

- ribbon

Using the handles as your guide eyeball the middle and tape down the middle letter:

Trace the stencil with your pencil and then fill in the letter using your decopaint pen:

Keep going working your way from the middle letters outward (hope you don't have anyone with a really long name!):

Finally spray the letters with a quick coat of clear gloss to seal up the paint otherwise it will scratch off:

Tie on some ribbon and you're set:

For decoration:

Or for your plastic figurines:

Or all your crayons:

These are ready for a Christmas day game I have in mind for these kids.
