Trick or treat buckets are used by both adults and children each Halloween. These easy to make party decorations can be filled with sweets and goodies to present to young trick-or-treaters on your porch or can be given to youngsters to collect their goodies while going door to door. Treat buckets or cans are cheap to make and can be a fun way to get involved with Halloween celebrations.
Things You'll Need
Bucket or large can
Sandpaper
Paper
Craft materials (glitter, feathers, etc.)
Pens or paints
Glue
Wrapped candy (optional)
Instructions
Step 1: Prepare your bucket. If you are using an old bucket, wash and dry it so that it is clean and suitable for putting edible goods in. If you are using an old can or a metal bucket, check for sharp edges and sand them down with sandpaper, if necessary.
Step 2: Line the inside of the bucket with ripped up pieces of paper, attached with glue. Choose paper in shades associated with Halloween such as orange, red, black and white.
Step 3: Decorate the outside of the bucket. Be as imaginative as you like. Use paper, pens and craft materials such as glitter, string or feathers to create a ghastly effect fitting with Halloween. Try drawing Halloween imagery like ghosts, ghouls, skeletons, spiders and pumpkins on the paper.
Step 4: Add a spooky message on the outside of your bucket using pens or paints.
Step 5: Fill with candy, if your bucket is to present to children as they knock on your door. Fill the bucket with wrapped candies and any other sweet treats you feel appropriate.
Tips & Warnings
- Small candy can be a choking hazard so be careful who you give these to. Warn parents of young children if you feel your treats are not safe for their children.
