Video Tutorial – Frankenstein Bucket
Here are the steps I took to make the Frank Buckets
Step 1 – Lets prep our Buckets! Scrape the stickers off the lid and the bucket. I used a scrapper to get mine off. I found if i could lift a section and then get under I could lift the sticker off and remove. Use the acetone and cotton pad to remove any residual parts. Once that is done use the Alcohol and a pad to clean and prep your surface. Set aside to dry. I reused a bucket so this was already done.
Step 2 – Now load your free file into your cutting software and cut it out in your vinyl of choice.
Step 3 – Now to weed our vinyl
- Start with weeding vinyl – I find a pin pen helps to remove the small pieces of vinyl from the center of the words. I also like to use weeding boxes too.
- Apply transfer tape for the face. When I cut my vinyl out I put the hair, stitches and eyes together. Then i could place the rest of the facial features as I wanted.
- Peel off vinyl backing off.
- Now apply the face to the bucket. I did a hinge method. The hinge method is where you take part of the backing away from the vinyl. Apply that half. Then fold over and apply the other half.
- Next apply the nose base and mouth.
- Time for the Eyes and tooth. I used parchment paper to do this part. Apply the transfer tape to the eye balls and pull the backing off. Lay your parchment paper on the bucket. Now line your eyes up. Once you have it where want it. Attach the transfer tape to the bucket. Then lift it up, remove the parchment and lay the eyes and transfer tape down.
- Repeat to do the tooth and nose center.
Step 4 – Assemble and add your light. You could use double sided tape or hook and loop if you want your light to stay in one spot.
Step 5 – Play with the fun lights, I turned my to green for Frank and enjoy!!!
