How To Make A Water Bucket Part 3

Here’s the last installment of making your water bucket!

I have alot of magazines. Those are all horse illustrated. 
Horse magazines are the best place to get model horse sized ads.

Throughout the magazines, you see advertisements. You don’t want the full page, that it not realistic one bit. You just need the  logo, like this

or this.

After you have an ad that you like, cut it out, and paste it onto your water bucket. All done!

Nervous

Whenever I send off my tack, tons of things run through my head at once. Most of it is good.
Today I sent off two sets. This is my 2nd time sending off my tack to someone(not counting the set that was handed off in person :) ) and it is the most far (Tennessee).
I’ll never get over the excitement of sending off something I’ve made. But I also get nervous. Really, I just hope the new owner likes it.

Here’s the next installment of making a water bucket!

Now that your container is dry, it’s time to make the water.
I use Clear Tar Gel, and you can get it at your local craft store(I bought mine at Michaels). It does smell and does look cloudy when you get it, but it dries clear.

Pour it into the container, but not a ton of it. I’d say less than a fourth of an inch and let dry. What I did wrong the first time was pour too much. It took a TON of time to dry (like 3 days+). So do it in thin layers until it’s the amount that you want.

So let dry and that’s that part. Next will be ads.
