Sap Bucket Arts and Crafts

How creative are you? Antique sap buckets are the perfect medium for letting your crafting talents go wild. Sap buckets can be painted different colors, stenciled or made into a tole masterpiece. Many sap buckets are “crushed” to form mail or flower holders, topped off with a wire handle to hang on door knobs or porch posts.

With a plasma cutter (or some other kind of metal-melting torch) you can cut shapes into these old tin buckets to make jack-o-lanterns, luminaries, or provide a simple "Welcome" to guests. Antique sap buckets are perfect for all kinds of arts and crafts projects, and artisans all over North America use them in the most creative and interesting ways.
