DIY Watering Can

I wanted a watering can for a long time but was unwilling to spend on a plastic one. Daiso sells metal watering cans but the product tag says 'For decoration only. Do not fill it with fluids' which essentially renders them useless.

I decided to rack my brains and try to make a watering can out of waste materials. I thought a drinking straw resembles the sprout of a watering can and I salvaged one from the drinks my family bought. From there, I googled 'watering can straw' and found a great tutorial.

For this project, I used:

• Drinking straw

• Aluminium drink can

• Twine (or any other rope)

• Silicone sealant

• Penknife

I used the penknife to cut a small hole at the bottom of the drink can. I stuffed the straw in and tied it in position using twine. Finally, I sealed the opening using silicone. The twine can be removed after the silicone sealant cures. It works great and there is no leakage.
