SCS WAYS TO USE IT CHALLENGE WT160 RUB-ONS

Today's SCS Way To Use It Challenge (WT160) was to find ways to use Rub-Ons. My Rub-Ons project was so darn easy, I'm almost embarrassed to post it as a "project"! I simply altered a Target $1 Spot Metal Pail. It's hard to tell in the photo, but I used my Crop-A-Dile to punch holes to weave the Real Red Striped Grosgrain Ribbon through the top of the pail. The A Perfect Day Rub-Ons from the Occasions Mini Collection literally took seconds to transfer onto the pail.RECIPE
Embellishments: Real Red Striped Grosgrain Ribbon, A Perfect Day Rub-Ons
Tools: Crop-A-Dile
Supplies: Target $1 Spot Metal Pail

ETA: Aime asked if I painted the pail. Answer: No, I bought it already red. The only alterations were the threaded ribbon with the Crop-A-Dile and the Rub-Ons.

Did you have to paint the pail? I just bought a bunch of pails yesterday in the $1 spot, but they weren't red...but it is SOOO cute!

I did not know a crop-a-dile would go through tin. Amazing. So is your pail. These are the best projects the kind that looks like you spent all day and didn't.

Well, how awesome is that??? Oh how I miss Target!!! (one of very few downsides to living on Maui is we don't have a target, or even a craft / hobby store!!). VERY CUTE!!
