bottom of the bucket ¾” from the bottom with the ½”scored strip facing
the bottom of the bucket.

and tape 4” circle in place.

-
and feed the handle through, fold and attach with tape or brads.
-
Step 10
Fill your Pumpkin Bucket with Halloween candy or small gift.
What a totally awesome tutorial Tammie!! Believe it or not, this is one of the few dies I do not have (wish I did after seeing this). Wow, I just can’t get over how good this is — you need to do more of these, like every time you give a demo at RubberQueen meeting you can create a tutorial from the presentation for us that sit in the back.
