Know before you buy
Yes, the paper mache construction is durable enough for trick-or-treating or displaying a generous amount of wrapped candy. However, it is designed primarily as a decorative piece, so it is best to avoid filling it with heavy items or liquids.
No, this item is intended for indoor use only. The paper mache and vellum materials are not weather-resistant and may be damaged by moisture or direct sunlight.
The bucket features a hand-antiqued and distressed finish, which is a deliberate design choice by Bethany Lowe to give it an authentic, vintage-inspired aesthetic. Each piece is unique, so the level of distressing will vary slightly from one bucket to the next.
The bucket features a swing handle, meaning it is designed to move freely and will typically rest against the side of the bucket when not in use. It does not lock into an upright position.
To maintain the finish, simply wipe the bucket clean with a soft, dry cloth. Avoid using water or household cleaning agents, as these can damage the paper mache and the antiqued surface.
