Yes, I know Nanna did this a while back. That is where I got my ideas. And I made mine like she did. But I kept having to get down on my knees to get to all of my violets and it was just causing me too much pain. So I decided to see if I could make a freestanding one, one that stood on its own. The thing that I have found is that the center point needs some support so I'm going to Home Depot today to find something.

This is the tool I used and it works great. I started out with scissors but failed miserably with those so I got these out of the toolbox. They are some kind of pliers/cutters. I took pictures of both sides. They worked great.
