Pottery Barn Kids Inspired Buckets

I am really trying to get my house organized lately, especially my little boys' room. They have so much stuff and it seems to be everywhere! When I saw these buckets in the pbk catalog I knew that I could make some buckets that were not only a lot less expensive than these, but also more personalized.

I bought three buckets at my favorite store...Target.
I then borrowed my mom's vinyl cutter and cut out some red and silver vinyl letters and shapes.

If you don't have a vinyl cutter, there are so many places online that cut vinyl, or you could always use stickers.

My buckets before...

and after...

    Emily, your buckets are darling. It makes me want my very own toy bucket. Of course, I would want a pink one.

    I adore buckets! I think Target has a bunch in their dollar spot right now. I was there yesterday and couldn't think of a use for them - now I need to go back and get them :)
