Little galvanized buckets
with darling little tags
I love galvanized anything as accents
especially when it has that lovely muted chalky finish
that comes with weather or age
These were recent Home Goods finds for $2.99.
I was originally thinking of them in the bathroom
in the French armoire to hold toothbrushes, hair stuff, etc.
They came with darling little metal butterfly tags
but I had a different idea for them that involved a little chalkboard paint
So I flipped them over and used Duck Egg blue chalk paint
for a little change from the usual black
I love how they came out.
The blue is soft & works perfectly with the silver.
Wrap a little twine around them to finish them.
I love them together~
perfect for a little ‘This and That’
or maybe an ‘Etc’
or
a Merry Christmas wish with a little bottlebrush tree.
This is a super quick & easy project that would be perfect for gift giving this Season.
Fill one with cookie makings, teacher supplies,
sachets or even some flower bulbs or a favorite bloom
Loving it.

LOVE the look of these little buckets and the tags are adorable 😉
What a wonderful idea!! I love them with the chalk paint tags!
I'm loving it too. The blue chalkboard is a nice change.
I love them! The little chalkboard tags really give them that special little touch.:)
These are so sweet. I love galvanized anything, new and old. The duck egg blue is a perfect change from the standard chalk board paint.
Very clever and so pretty.
How adorable! I sure wish I had a Home Goods nearby!

I love galvanized stuff too. Wonder why? I really like the bottle brush tree in the bucket. CUTE! Reminds me, I have a little galvanized bucket in my potting shed, and some of those trees in my Christmas decorations…hmmm….if I get off the computer I might have time to make one!
