Do not spend a dime on buckets! I am a cake decorator and save all my buckets. People ask for them all the time for a variety of reasons. Mine range in 3 to 5 gal buckets. Go ask your local bakery! Best part, they are food grade, so you can store pet food in them.
@@TheDailyDIYerI always hear that, but no one is giving them away. They say they send them back or they never have any. Walmart deli/bakery dept tells me they can't save and must throw them out! Idk but .....
An important use that wasn’t mentioned… There are potty seats with lids that snap onto a 5 gallon bucket for camping. Just line with a black plastic trash bag, then tie it up & dispose of it.
I helped build what looked like a beehive out of those buckets for a no kill cat shelter. Duck taped them together and put the floor mats from Dollar Tree cut in half inside. The buckets were laid sideways and we used styrofoam “shims” taped to the backs between buckets to keep them level. The cats quickly climbed in and loved this. Wish I had a photo. Each bucket made one kitty “condo”. Worked great!
Very cute and smart ideas . I will share this my daughter ( girl scout leader ) She makes sit upon out of her buckets for camping trips with a cushion seat on top .The bucket carries the dunk bag ,change of clothes ,flash light and other supplies .
Shannon… one thing I love about your videos is that you always take time to explain and show steps so well. If you’re new to crafting - easy to follow. If you are a seasoned crafter, always great tips, tricks and reminders.. I have never seen the “seat” for the buckets. I could use one in the garden and store the garden tools inside. Oh and ps.. your hubby looked like he was having fun spinning around 😂😂😂 Honey is so sweet Thanks for sharing!.
I think that lantern idea is actually pretty genuis for power outages or outside fun around the pool. They look like they illuminate a wide area, so definitely a nifty hack for when the power is out. We lose power A LOT in the summer because we share a power grid with a couple of different camp sites, so when the campers start piling in, we end up losing power. We also lose power anytime the wind blows a little too hard, so those buckets would come in handy here, for sure. And the ottoman idea was cute! I'll definitely be doing that hack, too. Also, your husband looked like he was having so much fun spinning around on that bucket. 😂 It was adorable.
I used a cushioned lid (I think it is made for hunting because it is camo) on my 5 gal bucket. It also swivels. I would recommend putting a round board in the bottom of of the bucket before attaching the castors. The plastic isn't strong enough for heavy duty usage. I use mine for refinishing furniture. and doing detail work of large projects. I've used a 5 gal bucket 'handy-man' pouch for years and love it. I also put castors on it. I also use them for long stemmed artificial flowers, bushes, peacock feathers, etc. I have some deep shelves for large objects in my workspace and I lay the buckets on their sides on them for easy access. I also work with cement, sand, plaster of paris, etc and used colored bucket on castors to store them in. I love 5 gal buckets. I like the dust pan gadget. I've never seen that. I need to get one. I also liked the 'table'. I could store throws in them. Thanks for the great ideas. Oh and you can get screw-on lids that are much easier to use for things you need to access often. They are more expensive, but well worth it in the long run.
I want to make every single one of these! ❤ I’m going to start with the outside lantern for our bonfire next weekend ❤ One little addition on the side table/ storage idea would be to add some rope to the underside of the lid. Make it the same diameter as the inside of the bucket so it lines up centered every time 😊 Thank you for all the wonderful ideas ❤
I just posted saying basically the same thing, but I didn't think of using rope. That's a great idea! I had suggested to use little wooden half circles glued on instead, but I think I like the rope idea better. 😊
I made a couple of the camping buckets a few years ago, we love them around the campsite. My husband would love the seat one for his shop too. Thanks for sharing with us
Shannon, harbour freight tools has a really good deals on their moving dollies sometimes. Everyday price is like 12.99. A five gallon bucket fits perfectly between the two pieces of wood. I created one for my husband to roll around in his barn. Nice thing about it too is you don't even have to secure it to the dolly. That way if you need the dolly to move something else you can just pick the bucket up off of it and then sit the bucket back on it when the rolling shop seat is needed again. My husband loves it.
I have ordered all the vinyl designs you have except that one. I might order that later on. Promised hubby I wouldn't order anything online for a little while. We have a few home repairs we need to do. We also need to buy a board to put under our mattress for our backs. I will be checking out your shop again very soon.
The bucket with the wood top as a table is cute. I would consider, however, to maybe put something on the underside of the lid to keep it in place when on top of the bucket, to keep it from sliding around or off if it gets bumped. Maybe just some wooden half circles glued around the underside, just a few in a circle a little smaller than the bucket opening size.
One year, I planted my garden in rhem. I set them in the back of the van to keep them alive while visiting family. (I just set them in their yard for sun and water and bees.) Lol
Hi Shannon diy donna here yes I know all about ski I lived in wellston ohio where that is made I don't live there now we moved to Chillicothe ohio I am getting that Drill very soon you two are one of the reasons why I started my channel there is like 5 or 6 of you that are the reason why so thank you so much
Ooh! You can put a blue light in these and make snowmen in the winter, with the blue light option and put them on the lawn or use them like lanterns along a path! So smart to use these buckets for all of the projects you’ve shown us, Shannon! Ty😊❤
Thank you so much for the many options you provide! Your humility of not just wanting to promote yourself but to promote the idea. It really helps people like myself that's on a budget! It also gives me a very Good opinion of you and when I have a little extra money. I would definitely want to buy from you!
Yeah Ski is a very tight niche drink. Unless you've come from where it's bottled and transport it or live in a radius around the bottler, you can't find it.
These are brilliant! I especially like that you include so many practical ideas and the accessories. I think my first project will be the Husband Stool. I have arthritis in my knees (they are bone on bone with osteophytes) and that stool could be really helpful 😊when doing chores outside. Thanks for so many fantastic ideas.
That seat on the bucket might be a nice n cheaper alternative to the exercise ball as for sitting at a desk all day like many of us do for work. I might have to try it out. I’ll let you know if I do. I love the dust pan attachment❣️ I have a friend who could really use this. Think I’ll make a neat gift n helper for her. Thank you SO very much for sharing all these great 5 gallon bucket uses n ideas Shannon‼️😊💜💜💜
If your Walmart has a bakery ask if they give away their icing buckets! Mine used to charge $1 to donate to CMN (but I often just gave them away). Should be several sizes and we also had a square bucket. I use one to store cat litter that I buy in bags.
Wow I was happy to see all the great ideas you had in his video. I really like the cooler cover made for the 5 gallon bucket. Thats something I can buy for my wonderful son-in-law. All the ideas are doable and inexpensive. Thanks.
10minutes to wrap the rope around the bucket. My favorite soft drink is Pepsi. I do love ice tea. Love how the buck illuminates with the light. These are all great. Thanks for
When you were using the tool to open the bucket it brought back memories of my days of working in resturaunts. Pickels came in those 5 gallon buckets and trying to open them were a pain. All I could think of was you were lucky that it wasn't full of pickels because you would get juice spilled all over😂.
I am going to guess that it took you an hour & a half to apply the rope to the bucket!😊 WOW! Not even 30 minutes! Awesome!🤪 Honey is so sweet & beautiful!🥰 I love the table!❤ My favorite soda is orange sunkist! I can't be without it!
@@TheDailyDIYer oh yes I've gotten about 50 in varying sizes. The frostings come in small up to 5 gal tubs! I was using them for tomatoes now I'm going to make lanterns 😂😂😂
I wonder if I could use that dust pan for scooping leaves into the bucket @4:29. That’s cool but whatever happened to an ice chest? 8:06 was the first thing on my mind. Not trying to be snarky either. I love that “seat” idea.
Great ideas👍🏾 i like all of them but my favorite is the one with the rope!❤ i was wondering for the handle could a thin pool noodle be used?🤔 cut it to the to the length you want it then score it down the middle to fit over the handle🤔 just a thought🤷🏽♀️
A cheaper version of this handle idea is a pool noodle cut to size the a slit cut long ways, half way to middle hole and use zip ties to tighten them to keep in place and cut off excess, then hot glue the zip tie where it comes together to prevent any possible sharp edges!
@@TheDailyDIYer Oh yeah, Honey. She’s such a sweetie pie! If you want to make another channel about her and your walks or pet care tips, I would happily follow!
Shannon, I loved your video! First time watching!! Definitely won’t be my last! Great ideas! But where did you find the bucket seat at? I’ve looked on Amazon but not too sure where else to find it? Can you help? Thanks Shannon! Will soon be watching more of your videos!!😊

I have many I got free from my local bakery. Good for plants as well.
My Walmart won't give them away or sell anymore. Super 1 only sells them.
Yeah our local sells them too.
About the same price as the hardware store but with the bonus of being nice and sticky too! Lol
An important use that wasn’t mentioned… There are potty seats with lids that snap onto a 5 gallon bucket for camping. Just line with a black plastic trash bag, then tie it up & dispose of it.
I have one for emergency; it’s set up and ready to go if needs be.

Cool ideas! WalMart Bakery sells their food grade buckets for $1 each. They are totally clean and have a lid. We get all our buckets there.
I use pool noodles to make comfortable (and affordable) bucket handle grips.
All of these projects are really nice but Honey is the cutest little thing EVER ❣️ Thank you for sharing
Such great ideas for those buckets. A split pool noodle makes a quick cover for the plastic handle
Great idea!!
foam pipe insulation does, too and is smaller in diameter for my small hands.
Very cute and smart ideas . I will share this my daughter ( girl scout leader ) She makes sit upon out of her buckets for camping trips with a cushion seat on top .The bucket carries the dunk bag ,change of clothes ,flash light and other supplies .

I loved the bucket side table
Yeah Ski is a very tight niche drink. Unless you've come from where it's bottled and transport it or live in a radius around the bottler, you can't find it.
Makes a great camp seat and carrier for your children. Easy to keep their toys etc in one place.
Great idea! Thanks!
Carrier for your children?? You put your kids in the bucket and carry them around?? Just askin’.

Shannon!!!! This is my FAVORITE Spring/Summer video I have seen yet on any channel I’ve watched ! Great ideas!
A piece of a Pool Noodle would work well for the 5-gallon buckets' cushioned handle.

Who else besides me saw the 'lanterns' and wanted to put pumpkin faces on the for Halloween 🎃? You could line your walkway or driveway with them 😊
That's a cute idea! 😃
Never heard of Ski , have you ever had a Sundrop (very popular here in Waynesboro, Tn ) my favorite
Just go to the frosting department at your local supermarket bakery and you'll get
Them for free--make sure to ask for the lids if you want them
