I love this. I tried something similar to this but, the hot glue just didn't cut it in holding the pots together. Any other suggetions?

I found this craft in Highlight magazine for kids about 20 years ago. We made several to give as gifts. Simple and fun only we bolted them together (including 2 large washers bigger than the pot's holes) so we could disassemble them and wrap them up easier, in paper, for storage. Unfortunately I broke mine long ago.

I now have little kids around again so I am making them once more. Easy! And everyone loved them. My sister told me yesterday that she still has hers and she has no kids. :-) They are for everyone! (Her bitrhtday is the 29th so it was a great gift! Thanks for posting this.
