Instructions

  1. How to Make Ceramic Fountains

    • 1

      Take the bowl planter and place it where you want your fountain to stand. Place the pump in the bottom of the bowl.

    • 2

      Cut a generous length of the plastic tubing and attach one end to the pump. The tube will allow the water to be directed to the top of the fountain.

    • 3

      Put the medium-sized flowerpot over the pump, making sure the power cord runs under the rim of the pot and out of the bowl. Be sure to thread the plastic tubing through the pot via the drain hole.

    • 4

      Place the smallest flower pot on top of the second pot so that the bottoms are attached, again threading the tubing through the drain hole.

    • 5

      Fill the bowl with the polished stones to your preference. Fill the top pot with stones and arrange them around the tube. Trim the tube down to the level of the top rim.

    • 6

      Fill the bowl with water, plug in and turn on the pump. You're done!
