Another idea Stuart: A WISHING WELL PLANTER. This is a project I did as a cub scout. It was for my mother and she kept it for many years with a vine plant in it. It looked great and I was very proud of it. Very easy for a young child to make, providing you can find suitable cans or plastic containers for the well part. The wooden parts are very easily cut and can even be stack cut. Holes for the fasteners could be pre-drilled. The sizes mentioned are just based on my memory so you would have to make a drawing to get pleasing proportions. WISHING WELL PLANTER PARTS: 1. (1)-1/2lb coffee can or comparable 3. (2) 3-1/2” X 2- 1/2” X 1/4” thick wooden roof pieces. Directions. 1. Wrap the twine around the can, the posts, and the roof pieces to cover the entire outside surfaces. Fasten the ends with hot glue or something else that works. 2. Screw the posts opposite each other against the inside wall of the can. Make sure the angles on the top end of the posts are in the correct orientation. 3. Attach the roof pieces to the posts and you’re done! -- Mike, American in Norway |
