Bucket of Sweets Valentines Day Gift

Only 2 days left til Valentines Day! But there is still time to make this cute bucket of sweets for someone! It is super easy & doesn't take very long!

For my bucket, I used the bottles from a 4 pack of Starbucks frappuccino... yum! {Added bonus: you can drink all of the yummy frappuccino while you're crafting!}

 First, I painted the edges of the box with a foam brush & acrylic paint. You could probably spray paint easier if you don't live in MN, but it is cold out here and there is no way I'm going outside to spray paint! I did paint the inside but you wouldn't have to since your bottles will cover it. Totally up to you!

 Then I just cut some scrapbook paper & applied it with double sided tape. You could get really creative here, but sometimes I just like the simple & clean look.  

 This is what I filled my bottles with. I only used about 1/2 of the candy from each bag and 2/3 the can of nuts. So you could probably get away with making 2 sets... or just eat the leftovers like me! 

 After I washed out the bottles & scrubbed the sticky stuff off, I painted the caps white. I used a circle punch to punch out some paper & taped it to the top. For these bottles, I didn't have to use goo-gone. I just soaked them in soapy water for about 5 minutes and it came off easily with a washcloth!

 If I'm not back before Tuesday, have a Happy Valentines Day!!
