Black Sand buckets?

Ok, so I've been tasked with "decorations" for my BIL's 40th birthday party next month.  He is a big time beach volleyball player and the surprise party is at Beaches in Manhattan Beach.  I came up with the idea of doing sand buckets with something in them (not sure 100% yet) as the centerpieces.  Only problem is I cannot seem to find black sand buckets.  Any ideas??

Re: Black Sand buckets?

  • What is the difference between a regular bucket and a "sand bucket"?

    Seems like you could get a black bucket anywhere.?

  • Oriental Trading maybe? ?Ebay? ?THat's where I would check.
  • Ditto Oriental Trading, Michael's, Joann's?  Some drugstores sell them, like Walgreens or Rite Aid.

    You can pick it up at Home Depot or Lowes, it works really well.

  • WeeMo ... there really isn't except when I search for bucket I'm getting the industrial buckets, not sand type buckets.  I want them more sand bucket size/shape. 

    Yes, I may have to spray paint the galvanized steel ones.  I can find plastic sand buckets in every other color, just not black.

    Haven't tried ebay yet ... Oriental Trading is a no go ... already looked.

  • You could just get multi colored ones, write 40 on them in black...put in little flags that say 40 in the bucket....

  • Thanks 5dogs ... wondered how well that stuff worked.  If all else fails I'll spray paint, was just trying to avoid that step if I could.

    I've used it on those big ugly orange Home Depot buckets with lids for a fundraiser, it took two quick coats but it worked nicely without having to sand/prime/finish. I would imagine with Easter/spring coming up, it'd just be that much easier to buy the $1 primary colored buckets and paint them than it would be to potentially special order them from a website.

  • Absolutely!!! I'd much rather get them for $1/piece than special order at $6-7!

  • I would also try searching for Pail you might get more hits for what you are looking for. My rec would either be Ikea or Oriental trading Company...GL that sounds cute!
