Thank you so much for all those answers. Was going to buy wooden dowels at home depot. The only tools I have are a dremel, claw hammer, ratchet set, allen keys & screwdriver set. I hate having to ask anyone to borrow tools for several reasons; so am trying to think of other creative ways that I can still achieve the purpose of my idea. It won't exactly be on the cover of any magazine, more towards on the "what in the hell is that thing" spectrum, but will be functional. I'm always being told that I can't do this or can't do that & really get overwhelmed with it all & want to give up. Then the feisty New Yorker in me says "Nah, you got alot of people to prove wrong".
My idea is to take the dowels & line them up. Then I'll evenly drill a hole through them so I'll be able to thread some yarn through making those different levels needed. Then I would gently tie up the tomato branch to the according level. That probably sounds stupid, but the only way I can get things accomplished is to use creativity- it's the only reliable resource I have that doesn't cost anything.
