Wishing Well
"I took an empty peanut can for the well. A piece of cardboard to make the base. I gathered sticks of all sizes from my yard. The bucket I had on-hand. I measured each stick, cut and glued them together for the sides. I had to put the corner rows of sticks on the top to cover gaps from the round can. I'm unsure at this time how I will use it. I just wanted to make one."

Instructions
-
took an empty peanut can, placed it on cardboard to measure for the base.
-
I gathered sticks from the yard, measured to fit the base.
-
I alternated sides gluing the sticks on so the ends would come out.
-
I continued gluing the sticks around until the can was covered.
-
I measured to longer sticks for my post, and cross post
-
wrapped the rope around the cross stick, and hung my bucket.
-
To cover any gaps I used small sticks cut to fit the gap.
-
On the top, I just kept placing small sticks around until the can was covered and the gaps were filled from the round can into a square box.
