The Many Uses For Olive Buckets

Some may ask, after my cheap Walmart olive bucket alert, what the heck do you do with an olive bucket?

Sure, you could tote some olives around in it, but seriously, how many olives can a person eat.

Olive Out uses hers all the time and in this instance she used it to hold some scrumptious hydrangea.

• Turn them upside down and use them for lampshades for hanging lights.
• Use them to store wood beside the fireplace - picture birch logs and a roaring fire.
• Use one in your bathroom to hold toilet paper - picture . . . well, maybe you don't want to picture too much in the bathroom.
• Gosh, just about anything!
