Okay, raise your hand, how many of you have made that over priced purchase and then months later realized "I could have made that"? Good, I am not alone.
This is that purchase.
but I didn't.
I did however, save my girlfriend a few bucks with my version of the Pottery Barn pail that I made for her.
these cost a mere .99 for each pail, a can of spray paint
and the numbers 1,2,3
now that's a beautiful thing! Click here for the tutorial.

WINE CORK VASE FILLERS

Laura, let me know if you need me to provde you a tutorial! hehe
I do that ALL the time. My problem is finding the time to do it. I say that to my hubby a lot too and he rolls his eyes at me :)
Very nice knock off :) Looking good.
you are sweet as always!
Deidre- I wish I was thinking frugal when I bought them from PB!
Have a good day!

Okay, I am nutty for numbers and these are awesome. In fact, I like them so so much better than those overprices Pottery Barn buckets ...
Thanks for linking it up!

Lucky friend! They turned out so cute. ( I can envision dropping a plant in one and giving as a teacher's or housewarming gift.). Wonderful job!
ha. My hubby knows to stay out of my way when I am on a mission with a new project ( probably rolling his eyes too!)

Thanks! Don't you just love knock offs!!
You're a great friend - I want someone to make them for me and leave them on my front porch! Oh well, I guess I'll have to make them myself - but since they are so simple, I may just do that!
Glad you linked to our Cinch party! This is what it's all about!

Oh, these are just too cute! I'm envisioning some for my girls' playroom.
So awesome, I'm pinning the tutorial and I'm going to try this myself! Where did you get the 99 cent pots from?

I love these adorable pails. Anytime I see things I like in Pittery Barn I have to try and make it because I can't afford it.

Did you say POVERTY Barn! Yep that's what i call it, but i have to admit i've spent some dough at that place! i love your knock-offs, i am all for a good copy especially if it saves a ton of money!
You are on top of the game again ! Keep the great ideas coming.
Cute! You're giving me a possible new idea for some mugs I'm getting bored with.
Love knock offs! These pails look fantastic, Great Job, and sooooo very inspiring!
Seriously. Those pails are AMAZING! I am totally pinning these for the world to see :) You were #1 at the party, but you are always #1 with me :)
blessings,

Ooo, I'm in love with those pails!! What a good friend you are. :)

I love these! The PB version is great, but knowing that you made your own knock-off for such an inexpensive price makes the DIY version that much better. Lucky friend!

Too cute! Thanks for the tutorial!
These are so great! I hate it when I realize after the fact I should have just made something. Your friend is a lucky lady!! Thanks so much for joining the party!
