Children's Waterfall

Ron
by Ron
I made this for my grandchildren, and they love it. You need a wooden trellis, empty milk cartons, flexible plastic tubing with 4/6 plastic taps to fit. I started with a 6'x 6' wooden trellis.
You can either drill the milk tops or use a stanley knife to make a hole, insert the pipe, and seal with waterproof sealant. I used the clear type. I fixed the milk cartons to the trellis with plastic ties.


Cut holes in the cartons for poring water in or a hosepipe, and insert the tubing to each carton going down. The plastic flexible tubing I bought on E bay, along with the plastic taps to fit.


Use a large bowl or container to catch the water at the base and pour back in the top ones using a funnel, or make the hole larger so you can just pour in from a jug.
I painted with the brightest paint I could find. I glued rubber spiders and insects and hung a pirate bunting to the top (not in photo).Hope you like it, my family sure does!
