- Red and Black Checkered Ribbon, Dollar Tree
- 2 White Mini Buckets, Dollar Tree
- Scissors

Tips for Making This Bucket of Snowballs Ornament
First things first, you’ll need to gather all of your supplies. You can find most of these items around your house—with the exception of the styrofoam balls, which can be found at any craft or dollar store. Once you have everything you need, it’s time to start crafting!
This craft is super simple and doesn’t require any complex crafting skills. You could even take it up a notch by putting your Cricut machine to work instead of hand lettering the writing. I personally love how the sharpie looks like a child’s writing, but Creative Fabrica has some fun handwritten fonts if you would rather use vinyl.

Instructions
- Start by wrapping the checkered ribbon around the outside of the bucket and then trimming with scissors.

- Using the sharpie, add the lettering.
- Add some tissue paper to the bottom of the bucket to add some filler space.

- Next add multiple sizes of the white pom poms to the top of the bucket. I did not glue them down but it would be more stable.
