I made a watering can made out of reusable plastic containers. I made this project to reuse empty plastic containers instead of just getting rid of them.

first you need to unscrew the top of the spray bottle and put the top of it near the top of the container. make a circle tracing the outside of the bottle. you will need to use the 1/2 inch drill bit to make the hole for the bottle to fit. one you make the hole, you can use the soldering iron to make the hole bigger if the bottle doesn't fit. `

Tightening Spout

take the top part of the bottle and remove everything on the inside, leaving only the rim of the top piece. you can use this to make the bottle more secure on the container so it doesn't move as much.

Attaching Everything

Screw the bottle into the peanut container and push it so it goes all the way in. from the inside, screw the rim onto the bottle as tight as it needs to be so it doesn't move.

Holes on Spout

Once you have everything together, you can use the 1/8 inch drill bit to make as many holes as you want in your spout. I chose to make 7 holes in my spout. You can also the the holes bigger if you want to. You can also add a handle to the container but I chose to leave it how it is.
