STEP 4: Use 1/4-inch tubing to make ball on top. Wrap tubing around base of 24-inch pot to form a circle. Cut tubing, leaving a little excess. Bend ends back with pliers, creating a tab on each end of the circle. Repeat for second circle, making it slightly smaller than the first.

STEP 5: Put concrete-filled pot into 24-inch one, and fill with potting soil.

STEP 6: Place tabs on circles created in Step 4 into open end of 1-inch pipe. Use wire to connect point where circles cross.
