non-traditional stockings

Remember the 'school spirit' bucket I made a while back?  

My mom had hers displayed and drummed up some business for me :)  

I had a request to make 'stockings'.  

The idea is to use the buckets in place of stockings.  

Let me say..I love traditional stockings (the bigger the better) 

but I also tend to lean towards more 'unique' ways to do things.

I was given an interest of each of the guys.  It was up to me to do the rest.  

Here is what I came up with.  

I started with black buckets from $ Tree.  

I chose black because I figured they were more 'guy-like'. 

 Got out my Cricut and cut some vinyl.  

For the 'fisher' I chose a simple saying, added a lure and snowflake ornament.

For the 'reader'..the same idea.  I added a book light.

For the FSU fan...(my fave)

The idea of this is simple (which I love)...find a bucket and personalize it!  

These were so much fun to make!!  I hope the guys love them!!

tomorrow..a few cute cute ideas for last minute gifts

(none are mine..but I'm totally borrowing them)
