Simple Water Fountain
Build this simple water fountain in about 30 minutes
Gather Supplies
Electric drill with 1" and 1/4" drill bits
Large garden pot (I recommend one that is wide and is at least 24" tall)
Lid that is slightly less circumference than the pot (I used an upside down garbage can lid)
water pump (these cost from $20-$40). it just needs to be strong enough to push water up a foot or 2)
Fountain pieces/waterfall features
decorations (dollar store fake flowers, walmart gardening section for lawn ornaments, etc...)
rocks or pebbles to complete the natural look
