Or a bucket for resting your butt on while out camping. Fun, right? This bucket may be a tad girly for some but that's where the beauty of this camping DIY idea lies --- you can design the bucket any way you like. If you're making these for kids, you can ask them to choose the fabric they like.

For those wondering what that round grill is and why it fits perfectly with the Altoid Sours tin, you only need to check out a computer. Those round grills are computer fan guards. Clever.
