Easter Buckets and Cups

Hello and Welcome to the Hippety Hoppity Easter's on its Way Blog Hop!!

You should have hopped over here from Jessica's Blog.  We are featuring Easter projects today.  Lately I have been cutting vinyl like crazy.  I purchased some egg images and bunny images from the Silhouette online store and thought they would look darling on some tin buckets.

I kept the bunnies on one bucket because they are so much smaller than the eggs!  These buckets are easy to personalize on the back!

I purchased these milk bottles on clearance at Christmas time and ended up not using them.  The blue is a good Easter shade so I cut some larger eggs out as well as Some Bunny Loves You sentiment.  I have one for each of my boys here (don't worry - I will fill the other two with candy)!

Here is a close up of the cup - you can see the egg from the back side when the cup is empty.

I hope you have a wonderful Easter weekend!!!

And now onto our Blog Candy.  We have two prizes:

Easter Buckets with Vinyl

I hosted Easter this year again. For our annual egg hunt, I bought plastic buckets at Michaels and cut out bunnies, chicks and eggs out of vinyl. I cut the pieces ahead of time and got them ready to stick down. I learned the hard way that clear contact paper does not work as well as transfer tape ~ it is way too sticky! I put the names on the buckets to prevent tearing, but I really wanted the kids to decorate their own buckets.

We added gems for eyes and added sparkle!! Of the eight children, my son was the only boy. My niece Sabryna was kind enough to pose for a photo with her newly decorated bucket!!

I hope you had a lovely Easter!!
