    supplies for a cousin it candy bucket

    How to Make a Cousin It Candy Bucket

    Take out the current handle on the pumpkin bucket.

    Apply hot glue around the edge of the pumpkin bucket and apply the mop head to make it look like a wig draping over it.

    Cut a circle in the top of the hat and glue the hat on top of the bucket and mop head.

    Poke a hole on each side of the top hat and feed a string through the bucket holes and the top hat and leave it long enough to carry around.

    Poke 2 holes where the eyes are on the bucket big enough to fit the sunglasses in. You may need to hot glue them to keep them in.

    Your Cousin It bucket is ready to take around trick or treating or can even be used to pass out candy.
