In this master class we will show how to make a toy bucket on a small scale, which children should like, and they will be happy to include it in the plots of games with. And the author of this video decided to make it after he liked what came with the kit.
Necessary details.
You will need the following:
– thick foil, the donor of which can be a tube of mustard;
– thin wire;
– ordinary scissors, pliers;
– super glue, tape;
- stencil.
Steps to create a toy bucket.
For convenience, you can glue the paper stencil to the foil with tape. Next, cut along the marked lines. If desired, you can also use other material. For example, thick cardboard or aluminum drink cans.
Now we are slightly modifying the place for attaching the future handle and making holes for it. The foil is soft and a collet knife can handle this easily. You can use either the handle of a collet knife or any other round object of suitable diameter. We wrap the workpiece around. Our bucket is almost ready.
We check that the bottom is suitable. And if everything is fine, you can start gluing. First the walls, and then the bottom of the bucket.
The next step is making the handle. To do this, take the wire and bend it to the desired shape using pliers. All that remains is to insert the handle into the holes and clamp the ends.
If desired, it can be slightly deformed or wrinkled. In total, the work took about 16 minutes. It looks much better than plastic. We get this bucket.
Not long ago, small decorative buckets appeared on sale. I really liked them. I didn’t buy them, but I thought about how to make them myself. I had an idea for a long time and thought about what material would be best to make a craft from. What to use, paper or metal? But the problem was solved the moment the eye fell on a 100 ml plastic cup in the store. It was from this that I made a beautiful miniature bucket.
If you want to repeat my master class, then prepare the following materials for work:
- plastic cup (volume 100 ml);
- thin wire;
- a piece of thin metal sheet;
- awl;
- pliers;
- small tube of superglue;
- brush;
- acrylic paints in three colors: white, black and blue;
- napkin with a pattern;
- PVA glue;
- scissors;
- toothpick;
- play dough in orange, yellow and green shades;
- openwork napkin.
To make a handle, you need to prepare a piece of thin flexible wire 8 cm long and a small piece of flat metal sheet.
I bent the wire into a half ring, and then used pliers to turn the ends in, forming loops. I cut pen holders of arbitrary shape from a piece of metal and made holes in them with an awl.
I combined the blanks and got this handle for my future bucket.
Using superglue, I fixed it on a plastic cup. The picture is already emerging!
Now the bucket needs to be coated with white acrylic paint outside and inside.
After the white paint had dried, I painted the outside with blue.
Enameled buckets usually have a design on them. I didn’t change traditions and looked for a suitable image. It was found on a paper napkin. I cut out 2 cute ornaments and glued them on both sides of the container.
I painted the top rim and bottom of the bucket with black paint.
On the handle I made a rotating element characteristic of real buckets. You can use a wooden bead, but I made it from masking tape.
The enamel mini bucket is ready!
Where to apply it? In the decor of your favorite kitchen! I decided to fill it with pears and apples made from play dough.
I took three colors: green, orange and yellow.
After mixing all three, the beautiful color that ripe fruits have is obtained.
Divide the dough into small pieces and make balls with a diameter of slightly more than 1 cm.
I made a hole in each ball with a toothpick.

Materials and tools:
- thin cardboard;
- acrylic paints;
- napkin with a small pattern;
- wire;
- thick threads;
- wooden bead;
- second glue, PVA glue;
- scissors;
- compass;
- round nose pliers.
The height of the bucket without handle is 3 cm.
Using a compass, draw two circles with a radius of 11 cm and 8 cm. Draw a chord of 7.5 cm along the smaller circle. For the arms, two parts measuring 6 mm by 11 mm, rounded on one side.
Cut out the bucket parts from cardboard. You can use boxes from tea, oatmeal, etc.
Use instant glue to glue the part along the side seam.
Lubricate the bottom with glue so that a little glue goes inside the workpiece, place it on the cardboard according to size and press firmly. It is best to use thick PVA glue or Moment-gel.
After complete drying, cut the cardboard around the bottom circumference.
Coat a thick thread generously with PVA glue and glue it as shown in the picture.
Bend the parts for the arms and glue them symmetrically.
Use a thick needle or awl to make holes for the arms.
Paint with acrylic paint. The thicker the paint, the better. For hardness, apply several layers to dry. To avoid brush marks, blend the last layer with a sponge.
The last outer layer can be any color.
Decorate the bucket with a design. You can glue a fragment from a napkin; to do this, tear out the design, peel off the top layer and glue it with PVA glue. If the background of the napkin does not match the color of the bucket, then make additional drawings.
Circle the rim of the bucket with black paint, imitate chips in places, and then apply spots of rust-colored paint on them.
After the drawing has dried, cover the entire bucket with several layers of varnish. You can use nail polish.
Make a handle.
Cut a 7.5 cm wire and bend it into an arc. Make a loop at one end with pliers, put on a cylindrical bead, and bend the other end at a right angle.
Insert the loop into the hole for the bow and tighten it.
Insert the second end at a right angle, use round pliers to make a loop and then install it in the hole of the bow and clamp it.
Fix the bead with glue.
The bucket is ready!
If you paint it with silver, you get a galvanized bucket.
