Its easy, simple and a wonderful way to destress.
First, purchase a non-porous ceramic pot, or metal holder with a diameter no less than 10 and 5 inches in depth to accomodate the pump. The 10 inches in diameter is to hold the interesting top scenery. Remember textures and colors are important. You can find materials anywhere with a little imagination. Such as river stones, pebbles, Spanish Moss, handcrafted small shrubs, plants, flowers…. Or you can go to your local aquarium store for interesting water decorations for the tank and use those. The combinations are endless!
Second, decide on the theme and sketch a basic layout of your waterfountain.
Third, when you have decides on the decorative layout of your water fountain. You are now ready to provide your decorations with a foundation or platform to adhere. Your platform of course will cover the water pump. Create a small hole in the platform above for the hose to come out. Make sure it is undetected going up along side a graduated flower or plant upright in the container to cause water to flow downward.
Fourth, the platform can be made of the material you will find in flower shops arrangements. It's a green porous light weight material. Easy to make a hole, but because of its porous nature, but please becareful, small particles from this material can clog the pump once water is introduced at the base of the container. Using a strong water-proof glue, you can glue shells, pepples, or on Spanish Moss to give your fountain a full and finished look.
Fifth, fill the container with water. Plug in the pump, then sit back and relax to the soothing sounds of flowing water. You can carefully bubble wrap it and send it through the mail, marked "Fragile" of course, to its new home as a gift.
See an example.

Por: Villi Seilert | 03/06/2009 | DireitoEncontrar a medida de valor de mercado para o meio ambiente, suas coisas e seres é o objeto próprio da economia.
