Today i’m featuring Cathy Harris-Lupo’s brilliant craft she made! She turned three plastic pumpkin buckets from Halloween into a snowman and a beautiful fall/Thanksgiving decoration! Just paint the buckets and hot glue them together. Paint on a face. Glue sticks for the arms with a small cardinal sitting on the branch, and add a scarf! The hat is from a party store she found for 99 cents. You can find more of our dollar plastic pumpkin bucket ideas too!
