Call It Up-Cycling If You Want

Call it up-cycling if you want I just call it making stuff with junk. You see I have lemon tree seedlings on my kitchen window sill. Every time I water them with a glass half the water ends up on the sill. My big watering can is much to big to fool around with tiny pots so...

Yesterday while eating supper and watching a movie (multi tasking or what) I decided to make some kind of watering can with only junk lying around. I dug out a single serving peach can out of the recycling bin and I found an old telescopic antenae from one of my many junk boxes. I cut little bits and bent and drilled and finally soldered the whole mess together with lead solder (yes it's lead, no it's not as poisonous as you think). Add a piece of bent wire for a handle and ta da!
