    Default Snowman Rocksalt Bucket

    click here ~

    Tin bucket
    1” Foam sponge
    Plastic sand shovel
    Old toothbrush
    Natural raffia
    3” wide strip of red plaid fabric



    Give scoop and bucket “tooth” for easier painting by spraying with sealer before basecoating. Basecoat scoop and bucket, except rim, with True Blue.


    Refer to photo to sketch snowman shape. Sponge with Ivory White. Let dry. Draw features on face with pencil. Paint the earmuffs with Lipstick Red, and the earmuff band over the head with Black. The eyes and mouth are Black, highlighted with Ivory White. Paint the cheeks with Rose Pink, highlighted with dots of Ivory White. Paint the carrot nose Pure Orange, highlighted with streaks of Ivory White.

    Paint the snowflakes on the pail with Ivory White. Use Black to outline the design and to paint checks on the rim.

    Spatter bucket with Ivory White by dipping toothbrush into thinned paint and dragging thumb across bristles. Finish with several coats of spray-on sealer. When dry, tie a bow of plaid fabric and raffia around handle. Use raffia to attach scoop over the bow.
