If you're tired of seeing random cups or jugs lying around after the morning water, you'll love this decorative watering can. Brass links, colorful beads and playful garden-themed charms drape delicately from its top. You'll find it beautiful enough to act as an addition to your home décor while serving an actual purpose. This can is part of a garden set that includes Emma's Garden Planter Box and Emma's Garden Flower Pot. Our watering can is made of matte brown plastic. You can buy a similar can from your local store or use one of your own, as long as you can drill holes through it. Step one: We drilled three small holes about 3/4 of an inch below the top opening of the watering can. The first hole was drilled at the front of the can directly underneath the handle. The last two holes were drilled two inches apart, measuring an inch from either side of the back portion of the handle. If your can is shaped differently than ours, decide where you want to fasten the top portion of the chain and make your holes there. Step two: Take the antique brass-plated twist link oval chain and wrap it around the can at the same level where you drilled your holes. Once you have determined how much twist link chain you need, use the semi-flush side cutters to cut the twist link chain to the right size. Step three: Put the twist chain back into position and use chain nose pliers to connect both ends with a 4mm antique brass-plated 21 gauge open jump ring. Shift the chain so that the jump ring is placed directly over the front hole. Step four: Cut three two-inch segments of 22 gauge bronze wire. Bend each wire completely in half, using the round nose pliers to form a small circle at the center of the wire. You have just created your own metal fasteners. Thread the first fastener through the jump ring and the drilled hole. Both ends will go through the hole until only the small circle at the top of the fastener is showing. Placing your hand through the top hole, bend the fastener open so that its ends lie flat against the sides of the can. Fasten the links of the twist chain that are directly over the back holes in the same manner. Step five: Create twelve dangles of varying lengths using leftover bits of the twist chain, pieces of antique brass-plated cable chain, brass wire and the following beads and charms: antique brass exotic leaf charm, 10mm 2-tone blue deep cut nuggets, 5x3.5mm wasabi roundelles, Czech glass white core teal flat barrels, Czech glass wasabi/crystal medium leaf, antique brass exotic flower link, antique brass buzzing bee charm, 5x3.5mm turquoise roundelles, 8mm turquoise Picasso deep cut nugget, Czech glass yellow-green tiger's eye flat barrels, 8mm olivine/white deep cut nuggets, 10mm Hawaiian colors deep cut nugget, 10mm emerald deep cut nugget, antique brass small butterfly charm, antique brass medium dragonfly charm, antique brass flower link and the antique brass oval sunshine charm. Use wrapped loops made from brass wire. Use 4mm and 6mm antique brass-plated 21 gauge open jump ring jump rings where necessary. For help making a wrapped loop, see the Handy Tips in the Learning Center. To create heads for some of the attached beads, bend the tip of the wire around and squeeze it with pliers. You may need to curl the wire one more time like a coil before squeezing to make sure that the bead will not fall off. Step six: Once you've finished your dangles, connect them to random links of the main twist chain using 6mm antique brass-plated 21 gauge open jump rings.
