Delta Zeta Gifts

The is one of my favorite Delta Zeta designs because it incorporates the Greek letters with the Delta Zeta Turtle mascots.

This sorority gift craft project is an example of what you can do with a plastic container (pink bucket) and paint pens that you buy from the craft store.  I used a dark green pen, a light green pen, and a black pen for this design. I think there is a touch of white in there, too.

I always start with a pattern on paper. I transfer the pattern to my bucket with graphite paper which you can buy from a craft store for this purpose.  I place the graphite paper on the bucket where I wanted to put the design with the pattern on top of it. I then used a ball point pen to transfer the turtle Greek Letter design onto the bucket. ---Trace it on lightly! You don't want dark lines showing that you can't cover with paint. You just need enough of the pattern to show so that you know where to paint!

I shook the paint pens for awhile to mix up the paint. Then I uncapped each pen as I used it, but first started the flow of paint by pressing the pen tip firmly against a piece of scrap paper until the paint started flowing. Then I filled in my design just like coloring in a coloring book.  For the black, you can use a permanent pen like a fine sharpie for the detail lines like the turtle's eye and smile.

The paint from the paint pens dries fast. I like to spray acrylic varnish over a design to give it lasting power, but it is not necessary.  (The acrylic spray I use is made by Krylon and I think it is called Clear Coat or Clear something.)

That's it for making a Delta Zeta bucket.

Paint pens are great for painting your Greek Letters on foam can coolers like the ones seen in the picture behind the bucket.
