My mind is always thinking of new things to alter or decorate that serve a functional purpose. I decorated this metal bucket with scrapbook paper, denim and a robot button. My son keeps his crayons in it and I print mini free coloring pages and stick them in there. Just some ideas--use rub-on transfers and decorate and fill with baby items for a baby shower; tie balloons on the handle, add a child's name with chipboard or glue wooden letters the outside and fill with little goodies.
