Next make a loop - I used a circular candle holder thing. If you don't have something like that, eyeball it. It's not such a big deal. The size of your loop depends on the size of your plant. Remember that we need to be able to put this thing AROUND your plant so don't make it too small.


Next bend two hooks on either end of your loop. The idea is to make a clasp of sorts. We'll open the clasp and put the loop around the base of the plant like a bracelet and then close it before staking it down.
