My Trash to Treasure is not Fourth of July as requested but I have been waiting too long to post & just got the Fourth of July memo this morning, lol. The school across the street from me is closing due to funding so all of the teachers are cleaning out & I mean CLEANING OUT their rooms. They are throwing away paints, paint brushes, craft supplies galore, buckets, christmas trees, & just all kinds of good stuff. (So yes I have been dumpster diving, lol. But I duck when cars drive by) .
One thing I pulled out was an ice cream bucket. My wheels were a turning when I seen that, in perfect shape, ice cream bucket. Since I have to fix Tinkerbells hair at the table while she eats every morning I have been looking for a portable basket to keep the water bottle, comb, spray & rubber bands in & have not found a good one with a handle until now. Add a little bit of spray paint, a little bit of material & mod podge some ribbon around the handle. Label it & add some cutie flowers & wallah!! A portable bucket to sit next to my dining room table so I can torture her while she eats, lol. 
Go check out Kimm at reinvented for some great & I mean GREAT ideas!!!!

Welcome to Trash to Treasure! First off as a teacher it warms my heart that you are claiming their cast offs. We teachers have a hard time chucking stuff and would much rather have it go to a good home. With such a pretty bucket, I am sure hair time will be much more fun!
Way cute! I have an ice cream bucket that is almost empty. I will think twice about tossing it now!

Thank you to all!!! This is so much fun actually being a part of the blogging world instead of just reading other's blogs. Follow me & I will give you a laugh or a good idea at least a couple of times a week, lol. Lots of good stuff is rolling around in my little mind!!!!
