If you love Pottery Barn like I do, and you love decorating for the holidays, you may have seen their skull party bucket.
It is so great. It’s huge and would really make a statement.
However I had a hard time justifying spending $150 on a seasonal piece.
So…….. I made my own!
Here is how you can make one for less than a third of the price as well!
Here’s what you need:
This is the exact one I used. It is the same size as the Pottery Barn version and on sale for $23.99!
Stone textured spray paint in coarse texture.
White spray paint or any white latex paint. I used French Cream by Rustoleum.
Latex paint, I used Simply white by Benjamin Moore because that is what I had on hand.
Chip brush or other cheap paint brush.
INSTRUCTIONS-
Gather all your supplies above.
Step one is to coat your party bucket with stone spray paint. This will give it a nice coarse texture, just like the Pottery Barn one.
When that is dry I sprayed the whole piece, including about 4″ down inside with cream spray paint.
I realized after doing this that you could probably skip this step and just move onto the paint.
Next mix latex paint, white or off white, into a container with baking soda.
I did not measure this, I just added some and mixed it up until it was a lumpy consistency but not too lumpy to paint on.
Use a chip brush or other cheap brush to paint all over the skull. The baking soda will create a texture of it’s own and this is perfect because you want a heavy uneven texture.
Let dry, fill with ice and serve your bottles of booze out of it!
Be sure to pin these images to your DIY or Halloween decor boards!

DR EDETANLEN IS A LIFE SAVER AND I CAN ASSURE YOU ABOUT THAT BECAUSE HE GOT MY HUSBAND BACK TO ME. My name is Jennifer and I am here to join the numerous people out here to thank Dr Edetanlen for his help and kind gestures towards me. I had a horrible experience going through heartbreak with my man. He left me and I was devastated and couldn’t find any sought of help to get him back. At some point I was depressed until I ran into pages where people testified about how Dr Edetanlen helped them. I contacted him and he never hesitated to help me as well. Not only did I get my man back after 48 hours, the love and happiness has also been restored better than ever. Dr Edetanlen is an amazing personality and I can’t thank him enough for his selfless services towards humanity.
