Paint Bucket Take 2

About two weeks ago I worked on a project with one of those super fun plastic paint buckets you can get at most craft stores now. I was not totally happy with the first paint bucket that I made and wanted to try again using printable vinyl and my Imagine machine. I was getting ready for a swap with another Circle member so I made this back when my Imagine was working.
This time worked much much better than my first attempt in which the paper I used to cover the bucket would not stay on well and the letters were peeling off on the curves of the bucket.

I picked my cut from Cricut Everyday on my Imagine and colored it in with the green from the basic menu. Than I used the same crown as before off Nursery Rhymes and colored it in as well.  I used the cut and print feature on the Imagine and put a sheet of Adhesive Backed printable vinyl on the mat to cut with. I made sure to change the settings on my Imagine for this in the setup menu.  The cuts went on the bucket so much better and looked great. I added some little gems and a matching ribbon to hold the opener for the container.


I am much happier with these results and I think Greengirl will be as well as I sent her this better bucket as part of our spring swap.
