Hi there, Hometalk Friends! If you're like me and consider a timeworn minnow bucket to be a thing of beauty, I've got just the project for you! (If not, keep reading--I have an alternate suggestion!) Even better, you can make one too and it only takes about five minutes...

It's true--it only takes a few minutes to assemble! First you'll need a minnow bucket. When I found this one several years ago, it was at a crowded yard sale with a long line. It didn't have a price tag and when I inquired, the frazzled lady hosting the sale replied, "Oh you can have that old thing for fifty cents." My excitement must have been obvious to her husband who was watching with amusement and asked if I knew what it was. I smiled and answered that I did, but I wouldn't be going fishing with it ;) Need a minnow bucket? Look here! OR maybe you prefer the look of a rustic olive bucket--find it here!

Then, you'll need some fall foliage or floral stems from the dollar store. I used three faux pomegranate stems.

To center and help hold the stems in place, place a smaller container, like a flower pot or a mason jar, inside the bucket.

Then simply arrange the stems and if desired, add a decorative accent similar to the metal crow I used. Voila--that's all there is to it! Continue to my blog for more thrifty fall projects!
