  2. Using scalloped edged scissors, I cut the top of the tube off to create an interesting top edge.

  3. I painted a wood pail handle in a vibrant Citrine Green.

  4. I used Metallic silver to dry brush the handle to give it a more antique, aged look.

  5. I used these Inkjet sheets from Jacquard and some downloaded photos to print the images on the sheets with my PC and printer.

  6. Trim the photo, leaving a light border around it and use an iron and hard pressing surface (no iron) to fuse the photo to the fabric. I cut a slightly larger rectangle of burlap and frayed the edges.

  9. Finally, I cut punched holes in the sides and the tube and inserted an 8" length of wire into the handle, then the holes in the tube, using round nose pliers to create neat loops.
