AuburnJen 777 Posted June 4, 2019 Report Share Posted June 4, 2019 I have seen some of them on Pintrest, but I wanted to know if anyone has gone ahead and made them themselves. Post a picture if you have one! They look like this below. BradyBzLyn...Mo 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Travisma 1,317 Posted June 4, 2019 Report Share Posted June 4, 2019 My wife made one for us with Musket Mickey. It I ever get our trip report done I'll post the picture.

parrothead7368 aka Norm 101 Posted June 4, 2019 Report Share Posted June 4, 2019 I saw a few when I was at Talladega in April. I was wondering what kind of lights they used. Thanks. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
dblr....Rennie 224 Posted June 4, 2019 Report Share Posted June 4, 2019 My wife had a group do them at the FROG Rally last year, turned out nice Quote Link to post Share on other sites
PGHFiend 140 Posted June 5, 2019 Report Share Posted June 5, 2019 My wife wants to add them to her etsy, bought some bucket's last weekend. If anyone wants a custom one let me know. BradyBzLyn...Mo 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Beckers 1,136 Posted June 5, 2019 Report Share Posted June 5, 2019 Is it just a white bucket, a decal and a light?!? Seems simple enough for me to try. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
LONE-STAR 370 Posted June 5, 2019 Report Share Posted June 5, 2019 I made one about 7 years ago it beat up now but still works. Buy the brightest led bulb you can and hang it as high as you can and it will light up you're site. BradyBzLyn...Mo 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

LONE-STAR 370 Posted June 5, 2019 Report Share Posted June 5, 2019 Mine is 110 led. It was originally a fluorescent light bulb. Never thought about battery powered. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I think so. I was looking at one, on a site, a couple of weeks back. I like how bright they are. I don't have a cricket (which is what I think a lot of "crafty" people use), but I imagine I could buy a vinyl decal for not too expensive. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Battery powered would be a lot more versatile (and one less cord for me to trip over) It depends on what you want to use them for. Battery power with changing colors and patterns is great for decorative purposes. If you want it for “seeing” than 110 with a single bulb is probably better. Or a couple of decent flashlights 🔦 might work. Some of them are pretty bright Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Or a couple of decent flashlights 🔦 might work. Some of them are pretty bright I'm thinking both - LOL! Also thinking it could be a fun way to decorate a golf cart for Halloween if you go battery powered. A few years ago at the Fort for Halloween, DH mounted some blue flashing lights to the roof of ours (because he's obsessed with lights). I wasn't psyched about it - who are we, the fun police? - so I took 2 gallon jugs, drew ghost faces on them and popped them over the top. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Travisma 1,317 Posted June 11, 2019 Report Share Posted June 11, 2019 On a similar note, we were at Goodwill last night and I found a brand new square glass brick that already has a hole and plastic cap in the side for stuffing lights in it. I'm going to get my wife to make a couple of vinyl decals for it, then put in some sort of lights. Good table lamp/decoration. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

slices 16 Posted July 9, 2019 Report Share Posted July 9, 2019 My wife picked up a couple of buckets at the weekend and spent most of yesterday evening looking at SVGs. I think she's hoping to make a couple for my daughters girl scout camping trip at the weekend. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
