Know before you buy
Yes, it is constructed from durable paper mache, making it robust enough to hold a standard haul of candy. However, because it is a hand-painted decorative piece, it is best suited for light to moderate use rather than heavy-duty wear.
No, this bucket features an open-top design. It is intended to be easily accessible for collecting treats or displaying seasonal items.
While the glitter is securely applied, some minor shedding is common with decorative items featuring glitter accents. We recommend handling the bow-tie gently to maintain its appearance over time.
Because it is made of paper mache and features hand-painted details, you should avoid using water or harsh cleaning agents. If it gets dusty, gently wipe it with a soft, dry cloth.
Absolutely. Its whimsical design and artisanal finish make it an excellent piece for a Halloween table display, mantel, or shelf.
