I have a plastic bucket that looks sort of like this one. Its capacity is 5.1 litres and on the label it says '101 uses in and around the home'. So, a challenge: let's find 101 uses for a clear plastic bucket with a lid.
Some ideas to start off: 1. Store biscuits and/or cookies (which is what I'm using mine for right now) 2. Least stylish handbag ever 3. Terrarium |

6. Helmet. Space helmet, diving helmet, army helmet. THE FLOOR IS LAVA.
7. Drum.
8. A stool.

9. Making cake mix for massive cake.
10. Stationary storage. (I own enough pens and paper-clips to easily fill a 5-litre bucket)
11. Holding pen for a baby. (Animal or human)
12. Lilliputian ark in the event of a flood. (Drill holes in the lid first)
13. Home for a grass snake, skink, or other small pet. (Ditto the lid thing)

14. As a bathtub for a baby or toddler in a house where there's only a shower.
15. A thing with which to build an epic sand castle.
16. For mixing paint.
17. For mixing cement, grout, etc.
18. As nouveau garbage light fixture...if you put a lightbulb inside it and punch holes in the bucket. The translucent bucket would work. Stained glass paint would work for coloring.

29. Seal away some obscenely large evidence for a criminal trial. Like a severed head.
30. Preserve a taxidermist's next project in formaldehyde, or whatever they use nowadays. Like a severed head.
31. Use it to store mulch or fertilizer. Like a severed head. (Man I'm morbid this morning.)
32. Punch holes in the bottom and use it as a flower pot for a small tree or large plant, which would be pretty good cover for the buried---
I think I need to get off the internet and go to work now.

44. Storage for unused makeup.
45. A way to carry home your library books.
46. As a makeshift prop for the game 'Props' from Whose Line Is It Anyway?
47. As a humpback prop for an Igor costume.
48. As the weight in a really large pendulum, if you fill it with sand.
49. As the body for a homemade robot. Maybe a Roomba or something. I'd spray paint mine black and fit it with speakers that would follow me around so I could blast music while cleaning. I'd call it...the Doomba. ^_%
50. If it's clean, as storage for long term storage of non-perishable foods, like flour, sugar, and rice.
51. A temporary fish tank.
Mmmmm, I could about do with a bucket full of chocolate right about now.
Hey, we're more than halfway there! (Though I think there were a couple of repeats, like 'paint' and 'crafts'.)

How about beads? My painting supplies are for the porch, nothing fun and crafty. Ugh. If it would stop raining....
