Step Two
Using E600 glue, attach four chess pieces of the same size to the bottom of the wash bucket. If the pieces aren’t already colored black, spray paint them so they are. Allow the pieces to dry onto the bottom for 24 hours before flipping the bucket over.

Step Three
Use your paint pen to outline the letters on the wash bucket, or just write something of your own on the bucket.
Step Four
Take your candy cane candy holder and cut off the ends on both sides to make it look like a faucet. Spray paint the faucet and then attach it to the inside of your bucket with E6000 glue. During this step, you can also attach your faucet head and cut the candy cane down some more.
Step Five
Fill your farmhouse washtub with whatever you’d like and display it.
