But I decided to make some snowballs the other day and thought they would look cute in the bucket. They're easy to make...start with styrofoam balls in various sizes, then "frost" them with drywall compound or spackle and sprinkle with glitter.
Eventually I'll put the bucket outside the front door, but first I want to spray them with some clear sealer. In the meantime I have them sitting in this vignette.
