|Description=The $5 bucket stool is a project created by Ben Uyeda, the designer behind the very inspiring blog [http://homemade-modern.com/ Homemade Modern]. The stool is durable, simple to make and aesthetically pleasing. What’s great about this project is that there is very little waste. The bucket serves a vessel for mixing the concrete and as the form for the stool. When the stool has cured it can be removed without damaging the bucket. A 48" dowel cut into three 16-inch pieces provides legs without waste.

|Step_Title=Put 3 inches of concrete mix in the bucket
|Step_Content=Make sure the bucket is clean and dry before opening up the concrete and scooping 3 inches of concrete mix into the bucket. Add some water and start mixing. Be careful not to over water the concrete or it will be weak and crumble. Thoroughly mix the concrete so that every grain of the mix is wet. The mix should be the consistency of cookie dough. 

{{Warning|'''Shake out the bubbles:''' Mixed concrete has air bubbles trapped inside. Shake and tap the bucket to bring the bubbles to the surface.}}
