complete jug

I had the "thread spool holder" from an old sewing machine top.
(any metal shaft with a lip on it would do)
The single stem flower plastic water holder -2.
a bead.
Gallon jug.


The metal Spool holder had a groove in it, so I cut with an exacto knife a circle into the rubber stopper top of 1 single stem flower holder, and sliped it over it.
Cut the point off the flower holder, just large enough to fit the Spool holder in it, added a bead that fit in it, then put its cap - rubber stopper back on.

Filled that with water, n quickly put my finger over the Stopper on top; checking to see if it leaked. It did not; so I tapped the Spool holder and the Water dripped out. Success!

Used the exacto knife an carefully cut the diameter of the Flower holder into the bottom corner of the Jug; waterproof silliconed around the hole and homemade nipple.

Fill it, caped it tightly, to hang in the coop.


(will add the pic's soon)
