Gardening Tools Carrier

Since the pandemic, many are driven closer to home based. Some even adopted gardening life style with planting vegetables and etc. I was trying a mini out of it and as I was having a grip of it something is missing. A gardening tools carrier came in my mind. Looking around as I am big fans of recycling and so again I evolved it with some used papers like my other project before and this time I added some water piping left over from reparation. Thus, it turns out to be my good buddy with planting.

1. Some old used papers - either one side blank or both sides used up ( your choice)
2. 1/2 inch water pipe cut to desire length for height to holding it up.
3. White glue
4. Mini saw - use to cut the water pipe
5. Some small piece cardboard if you wish to close the holes on the T-elbow and bottom of the pipe at the bottom part.
6. Mini hammer - to tightened the joint of pipe and T-elbow
7. Glue gun
8. Used sauce plastic cups ( choice of used plastic bottle lids also possible)
9. Paint - bottle or spray ( brown and white)

1. Roll up papers into strips and use any round shape object to roll up strips into circles. ( complete details on paper rolling is available on my other instuctables in "vase' )
2. Form the circles into 3 different parts of 3x6, 2x3 (2 pcs) and 2x6 (2 pcs)
3. Join all the pieces into based, front, back and sides
4. Details on pipe joining in the next section

Note: At this point , you may consider painting or spray some paint before joining the pipes as the handles. ( as I did with brown colour) or you may like to paint it as a whole at the end of the project.

Get the fittings for the pipe as the based to support the container , I used sauce plastic container for this one. Insert pipes on it individually, glue gun together the pipe and container - 2 pcs (pic 1) Flip the bottom of the container, insert the pipe in the middle (left and right) corners. (pic 2) Add T elbows on both pipe (you may like to cover up one side of the T elbow's holes with cardboard or just leave it as it is). Hammer it lightly so as it does not loosen up (pic 3) while fitting a smaller piece of pipe in the centre to join both pipes. Now you can glue gun the fittings from the pipe into the base of the container . Now , you are done ! To add water proof, you may paint it all as a whole uniform colour or your preference, as I did brown on base and white on the handle.

Enjoy your gardening with fun, pleasure and Go Green.
