DIY Mini Bucket Baseball Seed Holder
A DIY mini bucket baseball seed holder is an all-ages gift for a baseball player or fan.
These customized mini buckets also make a great fundraiser for a school baseball team or travel club.
Since many of the mini buckets are food safe, it opens up all kinds of options for booster clubs and sports-related nonprofits as well.
The food-safe mini buckets could therefore hold liquids, candy, and small snacks.
Give Baseball Seeds A Home
So when I stocked up on the Lowe’s mini buckets with a lid (which are food-grade plastic), I immediately started thinking about what goodies would be a good fit.
Then little league season started and I realized these little buckets are the perfect container for sunflower seeds!
Not only can you easily personalize the bucket with a player’s number and name, but the lid also keeps them securely contained.
The best part?
Put a snack baggie in the bucket as a liner and the player can pull the baggie of seeds out and spit the shells into the bucket so that they aren’t littered all over the ground.
Everyone wins. So let’s get crafty!
How To Make A Personalized Baseball Seeds Holder
A baseball seeds holder that can be easily stored in a baseball bag or cooler is ideal.
Add to it that you can also spit the shells into the container? You have the perfect game-day gift for a baseball player or fan.
This food-grade plastic mini bucket holders plenty of sunflower seeds and can be personalized with UV DTF stickers of your choice.
Materials
- Lowe's mini buckets with a lid
- UV DTF sticker(s) - Recommended designs: a baseball with a number and the player's name.
- Snack baggie
- Sunflower seeds
- Acetone
- Cotton ball or shop towel
- Lens wipe
Tools
- Scissors (if you need to cut open the bag of sunflower seeds)
Instructions
- Gather all of your materials.
- Remove the branding on the bucket using a small bit of acetone on a cotton ball or shop towel. Make sure the area is very well ventilated.
- Wash the bucket using dish soap and water. If you're using a bucket that already has the branding removed, take a lens wipe to clean the surface and remove any dust or fingerprints.
- Apply the sticker(s) to the mini bucket.
- Place the snack baggie into the bucket.
- Fill the baggie/bucket with sunflower seed.
- Place the lid tightly on the bucket.
Notes
- I like to put the player's name on the bucket lid so that the player can always find his lid. The number on the bucket is the other obvious personalized part of the design.
- The top plastic snack baggie can be folded over the lip of the bucket or closed and tucked inside the mini bucket.
