"Alright. Now we're going to add our three little hangers to our hanging flower pot here. And the easiest thing to do I've found is, I can't wedge this small amount of clay. So, I'm just going to throw it out a little bit like this. By doing this right here, I'm getting any of the air out. Getting any of the folds out. And I'm also giving it some zone for me to pull on. Alright? So just go like that. And I'm going to make this thing long enough so I can cut all three of my little loopty loops that I'm going to make. So I just got a lot of clay right. So I'm going to just start pulling it down. Like that. Want to make sure to turn it. It's not as crucial as a handle to make sure that you keep turning it around because it's just going to have rope in between it. So here we go like that. Take a look. We're going to do a few more pulls and get this long enough to where I can cut three pieces out from it."
