Description

Using an old tin mop bucket, create a bed crown to go over a baby crib or for a bed canopy with drapes. Can you believe that used to be an old mop bucket?

Instructions

  1. Small 109953 2f2015 07 16 190453 img 4777

    Find a new or used tin bucket and measure out crown points evenly with the circumference of the bucket. Draw out points with a sharpie.

  2. Small 109953 2f2015 07 16 190751 img 4778

    Using tin snips, carefully cut along your crown point sharpie lines.

  3. Small 109953 2f2015 07 16 190936 img 4789

    Stick styrofoam balls on the tips of the crown, then spray paint completely silver. Take your two other colors and lightly spray gold and copper giving a gradient look.

  4. Small 109953 2f2015 07 16 191237 img 4792

    Hot glue round wax crayon to the center of each points of the crown. Spray them with paint.

  5. Small 109953 2f2015 07 16 191350 img 4794

    Hot glue rhinestones to the crayon rounds.

  6. Small 109953 2f2015 07 16 191426 img 4799

    Optional, use rhinestone strips and write out monogrammed style lettering to the center of the crown.

  7. Small 109953 2f2015 07 16 191538 img 4802

    Cut 1.5 wood board to an appropriate width for the crown and bend back sides of crown and bolt to wood board. (You will have to drill a hole in the tin with a metal drill bit.)

  8. Small 109953 2f2015 07 16 191735 img 6249

    Mount to wall studs using long wood screws through the wood board. Add curtain rod and drapes and walla! Royal!
