If you’ve been keeping up with my admittedly sporadic posts,
you know that I have been working on killing the overgrowth in my garden by
smothering it with potted plants. My first experiment with Folgers containers
are holding up well, so I used them as the base for this new design.
I started by removing the label, then measuring bamboo skewers to fit into the straight parts of the container. It has bulges at the top and bottom, and I wanted to glue the skewers flush with the sides. I cut the skewers down to size using old wire snips from my jewelry making tools. I attached them as shown using hot glue.

The bulges in the can I covered using jewelry making cord. I
attached this with hot glue too. Once cooled, I flipped the whole thing over
and stabbed a few drainage holes in the bottom. The finished project turned out
even better than the first design in my opinion. What do you think?
