How To Make

Easy diy to make for your Halloween trick or treat candy hunting. So let me share you how the steps are:

  1. Paint paper bowl used as a bucket, each with different color of orange pumpkin, green and purple. Let it dry.
  2. Cut the kraft card around 1 inch for the handle, then wrap it with black and white paper wrap.
  3. Attach the handle to each bucket by using stapler.
  4. Cut black card in the shape of Frankenstein’s hair, make two sets. Then glue each to the side of the handle. Draw eyes, stitched lips and couple of stitches with black marker on two sides of the bucket, right under the hair. Your Frankenstein trick or treat bucket is ready!
