If you are heading to the beach or a sandy spot this summer, we have the perfect quick and easy DIY project for you and your kid/kids to do! When you get a few kids together with sand buckets and sand toys, sometimes it’s easy to forget which bucket is you child’s. They all look alike and sometimes a few are the same colors. Sure, you could take a Sharpie and write their name on the bottom but we have a little personalizing that’s quite a bit cuter! This DIY Personalized Beach Bucket will be a cute addition to any beach day and your child will quickly be able to spot theirs!
DIY Personalized Beach Bucket Tutorial
DIY Personalized Sand Bucket Supplies Needed:
- Sand Buckets (any size will work)
- Waterproof Sticker Letters
Direction For How To Make Personalized Beach Buckets:
First,you can try to peel those bucket label stickers off. A few drops of lemon essential oil directly on the label will help the sticker come off easily or you can just turn your bucket to the opposite side for your letter stickers. Make sure your bucket is clean and dry so your letter stickers will adhere well. Now you can either choose to spell out your child’s full name or you can just choose to do a monogram with three letters (first middle and last). We did both! If you choose to go the monogram route, I think it looks better to have a slightly larger sticker for the last name letter.
Simply peel off the letters of your child’s name one by one and stick them onto the sand bucket. We chose white stickers but any color will do! The stickers DO hold up in the sand. We haven’t put them in water but I’m not 100% sure that the stickers would survive getting wet. There might be waterproof stickers in art and craft stores if getting a bucket wet is something you are concerned about. We can’t wait to use our personalized beach buckets when we go to Panama City Beach!

I really love DIY projects and I’m grateful that you shared this nice DIY project for kids. Sand bucket is a must for kids in summer. Sometimes it’s really hard to find a nice sand bucket. Well, I like to focus on pretty things and search something unique and pretty. I think kids also like pretty things. Especially girls. So personalizing simple sand bucket it’s a really great idea. I wonder how you came with that idea. Anyways, I liked yours tutorial of personalizing sand bucket and I wonder if any other sand toys could be personalized like that. And I think that it should be great to add some simple waterproof sticky paintings next to children’s name. This is a great idea for recognize your kid’s sand bucket. I really love it. Thank you.
