Comments Off on Sit Upon Bucket Seats – Great for camping!
Sit upon bucket seats are perfect for taking along on camping trips. Learn how to make a Girl Scout sit upon with a 5-gallon bucket and some other basic supplies.
My youngest daughter is a Girl Scout, and we recently went on a camping trip with her troop. Before we left, I made a cute camping bucket seat (also known as a sit upon) for each girl to decorate to use on our trip. Each sit upon is made from a 5-gallon bucket. I upholstered the lid of each bucket to turn it into a comfy seat, and the girls can store away their camping essentials like clothes, toiletries and more inside the bucket itself. If you would like to know how to make a sit upon like this to use on your next camping trip, continue reading for the complete tutorial!

Using the Sharpie, trace around the cake circle onto the foam. Deeply score around the traced circle with the utility knife before finishing cutting out the circle with the shears.
Cut a 16″ square piece of the tablecloth material using the sewing shears. Place the fabric piece face down on a work surface. Center the foam circle on top of the fabric, and then top the foam circle with the cardboard cake circle.
Fold the fabric up and around the foam/cardboard piece, using the staple gun to secure the fabric in place.
Work until you have wrapped all the way around the circle, as shown, before using shears to trim away the excess fabric at the center of the piece.
Mix the epoxy according to the product instructions, and use it to affix the finished seat pad to the top of the bucket lid. (I highly recommend wearing disposable gloves as you work. This is some very strong adhesive!) Allow the epoxy to dry completely.
And now, the fun part: personalizing your sit upon! Our girls used decorative duct tape, rhinestone stickers, and vinyl stickers to spruce up each sit upon.
The sky really is the limit to how you can decorate these handy camping seats!
Each time we go camping, each girl can take fill her sit upon with her camping gear, which will be kept nice and dry inside, even if it rains.
And the comfy padded seat of each sit upon will give the girls a place to sit around the campfire! So fun!

This comforter is amazing! I was getting too warm with my down comforter but still wanted something soft, and this was the answer. It’s very light, yet still provides enough warmth that I’m only using this with a flat sheet. It fit perfectly in my duvet cover and comes with loops on each corner and […]
Exactly what I was looking for! I live in Miami so I’ve always been looking for bedding that won’t capture too much heat or any at all. I’ve tried a bunch in the past but THIS IS IT. It’s truly light-weight and perfect to put inside a duvet. It lays pretty flat and isn’t puffy […]
It is stunning. I love the dramatic look. We wanted to blend in the 70″ TV. The curtains are not lined but still seem to do the job.
These are TRUE blackout curtains!!! FINALLY I found some curtains that you truly cannot see through. This is (almost) exactly what I was looking for! I went through several other curtains that claimed to be blackout curtains but really, they still let a lot of light through. I had to return several before finally finding […]
