OKAY this is a cool way to add some personality to your desk at work, or you work bench.
this simple project looks great requires little maintenance.
It can be completely modified for just about any materials you have.

CUT SLITS!!
no big deal get them sorta close to centered.
DON'T CUT YOUR FINGER OFF!! lids are hard to cut
use a sharp knife go slow and just do it.

DRILL HOLES!
drill holes at the edges of the slits this will give them flex
and you won't crack the lid. This is the most important step!! (almost)

DRILL MORE HOLES!
holes in the tube are for the roots to grow through
and for the water to enter into the tube.

YOUR DONE!!!
