Teacup Handle for Halloween

My daughter was planning to be the Mad Hatter for Halloween. She had a candy bucket ready for Trick-or-Treating and I suggested we should make it a teapot. I was overruled and told a teacup would be better.
So a handle was required and I decided xDesign was the tool to model it up.  
I took a picture with my cell phone and used my drivers license for scale.  The On-screen Points option makes it easy to scale the photo.   


Modeling the bucket would have been easy, but NOT modelling the bucket was even easier.  I just used the 2D image as a guide and modeled the handle with a 2D Spline and simple sweep. 


From there it was off to my 3D printer and two hours later I had a handle.  I used this Silicone Adhesive to attach it to the bucket. Its super sticky, and works great for​​​​​​​ attaching things to smooth plastic.
