There’s nothing better than the farmhouse look for fall! Make your own DIY Farmhouse Pumpkin Bucket in just a few easy steps!

What you’ll need:
- galvanized steel bucket
- rust colored paint (we used Americana Multi-Surface Cocoa Bean)
- dark and light colored grey paint (we used Americana Multi-Surface Steel Grey and Dolphin)
- black paint (we used Americana Multi-Surface Black Satin Tie)
- sea sponges
- paint pouncer
And the steps:
- To “age” the steel bucket, create rusty edges using your sponges around the rust colored paint.
- Once that is dry, use another paint sponge to apply a light coat of the darker grey paint all over the bucket.
- Once that is dry, do the same with the light grey paint.

- Using a cutting machine such as the Cricut or Silhouette (or even premade alphabet stencils), create your Farm Fresh Pumpkins stencil. If you have a Cricut machine, you can use this Farm Fresh Pumpkins Cut File.
- Tape the stencil to the area you’d like on the bucket and using a pouncer, fill in the stencil with black paint.
- Remove the stencil and let dry.
