Prevent boredom and have fun this Summer with this Summer Bucket of Fun
Last Summer we created a Summer Fun Bucket which I shared over at ThinkCrafts.com. I am in disbelief that Summer is here already! I wanted to share the tutorial here since I had’t yet, plus I need inspiration for our bucket list for this Summer! What is on your bucket list?
What You’ll Need:
- Bucket
- Craft sticks
- Styrofoam ball for the inside
- 1 sheet of tissue paper
- Washi Tape
- 2 pieces of cardstock
- Curling ribbon
- Cutting machine (such as Cricut or Silhouette)
- Vinyl sheet
Take the craft sticks and on each one, write the fun things you would like to do this Summer with your family.
Cut out the words, Summer Fun in vinyl on your cutting machine and adhere it to the front. If you do not have vinyl, try printing it then tracing it with an X-ACTO knife, covering it on the front with Mod Podge. Follow with a simple Washi Tape strip on the front.
Cut out envelopes with cardstock, one to hold coupons for the Summer list and one to hold your done sticks (these could be used in a Summer scrapbook page if you wish). Punch two circles to make labels for the “Done” envelope and for the “Coupons” envelope and adhere them to the envelopes. Punch a small hole with a paper punch in the corner of the envelope so you can tie them onto the bucket.
Wrap the Styrofoam ball in one layer of tissue paper and stuff down inside the bucket until it’s firmly put.
Stick each craft stick inside the ball so all the words are facing the front.
Attach the envelopes to each side of the bucket.

I was just thinking this week that we need to come up with a summer bucket list! This is such a cute idea to keep the ideas organized!
