As it is pleasant to sit in the hot summer days near the fountain, enjoying the refreshing coolness. But how to escape from the heat, if there is no way to get to the fountain? The ideal solution in this case will be decorative fountains for the house. They can be purchased at the store or made independently. About how to make a fountain for the house with your own hands from improvised materials, read in our article.
To make a small fountain for the house we need the following:
- Plastic flower pot with pallet.
- Miniature water pump.
- Contour and paint - acrylic and in spray cans.
- Accessories for aquariums: plastic algae, decorative castle and pebbles.
Flower pot will serve as a bowl for our fountain. To make it look good, the pot should be painted.
We draw out arbitrary lines with a golden outline, in order to obtain a kind of mosaic.
Then each cell is painted with acrylic paints. If there were no acrylics at hand, paint on glass and ceramics would also work.
Paint from the can (in our case, blue), we paint the inner surface of the pot and the pan. To the "mosaic" on the bottom of the vessel do not get a spray of blue paint, it is better to wrap it with paper or film.

So, the pot is painted, now you need to install the pallet in such a way that a small water pump can fit under it. Also in the pallet you need to make small holes - for drainage, through which water can circulate in the fountain, and for the pump hose. Make holes in the plastic base is very simple. For this you can use even a heated nail.
The next step is to give the decorative elements of the fountain a completed look. You can paint the aquarium lock with paints, and the circle of the plastic vessel should be covered with colored stones.
When the paint dries, you can go directly to the assembly of the fountain. The hose from the pump, which serves water, pass through the window of the decorative lock, and fill the bottom with blue aquarium stones and artificial algae.
All is ready! Now, thanks to a fountain in the house, you can decorate a murmuring nook that will give coolness in the summer heat, cheer and cheer up. This is not the only way to make a fountain out of the flower pot, you can listen to your imagination and make the fountain brighter or decorate it in accordance with the style of the interior of your house.
