Want to add a magical, relaxing water feature to your garden or balcony without spending a fortune? This DIY fairy fountain is surprisingly simple and utterly enchanting. I built one for my patio last summer, and the gentle sound of trickling water is the best stress-reliever!
The Secret? It’s all about using a small, submersible fountain pump. You can find them online for a great price.
Easy Step-by-Step:
Gather Your Supplies: You’ll need a large, decorative pot (without a drainage hole), a smaller pot or bowl for the top, a small submersible pump, tubing, rocks/pebbles, and waterproof sealant.
Set Up the Pump: Place the pump at the bottom of your large pot. Feed the tubing up through the center. If you’re using a pot with a hole, seal it with waterproof sealant first!
Create the Spout: Take your smaller pot and carefully drill a hole in the bottom just wide enough for the tubing to fit through snugly. This will be your fountain’s spout.
Assemble: Thread the tubing through the small pot’s hole. Stack the small pot on top of some stable rocks inside the large pot to give it height.
Fill & Disguise: Fill the large pot with water, covering the pump. Now, the fun part: disguise the tubing and the base of the top pot with beautiful pebbles, moss, and little fairy figurines.
Plug In & Enjoy! Turn on the pump. The water will pump up through the tube and spill gracefully out of the top pot, recirculating continuously.
Pro Tip: Add a few drops of glycerin to the water to help it sheet smoothly down the sides of the pot for a gorgeous effect.
