You all know how much I love a good makeover... right?
WELL.I.DO!
I got these buckets as a result of helping a friend de-clutter, I knew I could find a use for them, just didn't know quite what...
Then it hit me! I will spray-paint them and use them as planters!
Well as you can see, that is NOT what ended up happening!
Don't you just LOVE the creative process? I sure DO!
{Washi tape is a little over-done for me right now tho}
I decided on fabric, a classic standby!
Then I cut it out, made sure it fit, and used spray adhesive to adhere it to the buckets
Look out all my little IKEA buckets... YOU ARE NEXT!!
I had a few requests for a video tutorial on how to do this... so here it is!
No judging please... LOL!!!
ALSO miss Rhonna Farrer wrote an inspiring post on the power of social media.. using it to help each other.. her blog is A-MAZING!!!

Oh my gosh something so simple looks so darn cute
luv them! so ? - when you say rolled and traced - u mean you went from one side to the other while tracing it? i tried to redo a lamp shade with fabric but couldnt get it cut right with the cone shape and i'm thinking this would be the same process. (sometimes i gotta have a frying pan over the head to understand things, lol)
Those turned out so professional looking and adorable!

The fabrics you used are so sweet. I've vowed to NOT buy anymore fabric, but I might look for something like this!♥♫
These are so cute- what a great idea!
thanks so much for the video!! i'm so redoing the lampshade!

Ha! I had to laugh when I read your comment at the end about the IKEA buckets because I was thinking the same thing! Your fabric is adorable and the roses gorgeous!
