What You Will Need:

Is it easy to make a frozen ice bucket?

Yes, making an ice bucket is quite simple. Here is my step-by-step guide to get you started:

Step 1: DIY Ice Bucket

Cut the top of your carton off with scissors like I have done here.

Step 2: DIY Ice Bucket

Place your favorite bottled beverage into the center of the carton.

Step 3: DIY Ice Bucket

Next, fill your carton with warm water about 3/4 of the way full.

Step 4: DIY Ice Bucket

Add your flowers or fruits of choice into the water in the carton surrounding the bottle. Lemon slices are always a nice touch.

Step 5: Freeze Your DIY Ice Bucket

Once you have added your fruit, it’s time to freeze your DIY ice bucket.

You will want to freeze it for at least 12 hours.

Be sure you have room in your freezer so the DIY ice bucket can stand tall and upright, creating a nice straight ice mold.

Step 6: DIY Ice Bucket

Once your ice bucket is frozen and ready to present, remove it from the freezer and peel off the carton, and you will have a stunning DIY ice bucket for all your entertaining needs.

It is super simple, and it will be the envy of all your party guests.

I have enjoyed making these floral ice buckets and bringing them to parties with me as hostess gifts. They are always a huge hit!

You can also make a large bucket or smaller bucket based on the various carton options you choose to create your ice bucket mold with.

Limoncello DIY Ice Bucket

Here’s another DIY ice bucket I recently made using a bottle of Limoncello to bring to a holiday party.

For this ice bucket, I made the water level shorter in the container so it would be easier to serve by hand. I added four lemon slices and a few branches from our Christmas tree to keep the lemons from floating to the top.
