Supplies

Sturdy Metal garden stake (found in the garden section of Wal-Mart, I’ve seen these in the dollar tree, too, but those are more flimsy)

Large tin can, cleaned with label removed

Sand paper

Gorilla Glue Super Glue Gel or Gorilla Weld

Spray paint

I used Gorilla Glue Super Glue Gel and it seems to be holding up fine. I would have used Gorilla Weld or J-B Weld, made specifically for gluing metal on metal, but I couldn’t find it at the time of making these. Gorilla Weld would be better for long-term use.

Instructions

Use the sand paper to sand the finish off the bottom of the tin can.

Turn the can upside down and place it on a level surface. Spread a thick layer of super glue along the top of the plant stake and press it into the bottom of the can, nestling it against the outer edge of the tin can. Place something heavy, like a large book, on top of the stake to hold it in place while the glue dries.

When the glue is set, use the spray paint to paint the tin can and stake. Let dry completely.
