DIY: PBK Lazy Susan

I have always loved this lazy susan from Pottery Barn Kids. What I didn't love is the price. $49? Ouch! I have thought about this long and hard and I came up with THIS idea! And can you believe it? I love it even more than the PBK one!

Step One: Obtain a lazy susan. I got mine from Ikea for $7.99.

Step Two: Paint it it with good ol' spray paint. I start at the bottom, get the edges and about an inch in so that it looks good when you flip it over. Paint the top and you should have something fabulous looking like THIS when you are done.

Step Three: Buckets, baby. You can find these cute pails everywhere. I got mine at the Dollar Spot at Target. Half off, course. The best thing about Ikea's lazy susan is that you can fit seven buckets on it!

Step Four: Arrange your buckets on top. I put mine roughly an inch from the edge.

Step Five: Lightly trace the circumference of the bottom of the bucket. After you do that, ERASE THE LINE so that only the very lightest, hard to see line is there.

Step Six: Glue that puppy down! I use E 6000 for all of my gluing needs. If you do not have this glue, you truly can't call yourself a crafter. (Ok, you can, but seriously, it is sooo worth the buy!) Anyhoo, just apply the glue along the edge the bottom of the bucket and then carefully set it down on your erased down line.

Step Seven: Repeat Step 6 until all the buckets are glued down.

Step Eight: Fill and enjoy!

Total Cost: $11.50

Eat that Pottery Barn Kids. :)
