Upcycled water container to wrapping paper roll storage - version 2.0

Hello, and welcome. Remember the upcycled water bottle container I posted about a while ago? (original post here) Well, I (with some help from my daughter) now upcycled another. 

Check out the details below: 

With the first version I just covered the container with felt. This time, we decided to paint it instead. In green and blue, as per my daughter's request (green for the grass and blue for the sky). The only downside was that we had to wait for the paint to dry before adding the rest of the embellishments. 

Here it is while the paint was drying (upside down):

Then we added - yes, a bear. That's what you get when you let your kids run off with your craft supplies. Though I think it turned out pretty cute notwithstanding. 

And here is the finished version, complete with balloons: 

Here it is already in use: 

And side by side with the first version in our storage closet: 

Have fun and enjoy your weekend,
