Gotta Terra Cotta! These pot's are on trend right now. Decorate them any way you want but the best way to use them is in this super easy DIY Terra-Cotta Water Fountain.
Even if you have a small patio, you can find a spot for a small fountain like this. If you're near a busy road or a noisy neighbor, the white noise created from a fountain can drown out unwanted sounds.
All you need is a series of pots and saucers and small table top fountain pump like this will do for a project this size.
You'll need to DRILL A HOLE in the saucers for the pump tube and you can use a Dremel tool for making divots in the sides for water to flow through. ****CAREFUL!!**** SPECIAL CARE is needed on how to PREP the terra cotta so it won't crack, INSTRUCTIONS ON HOW TO DO THIS IN THE LINK BELOW.
Enjoyed the project?

When I first started gardening I thought every planter needed a saucer. After a year, I matured a bit and was left with a stack of unused Terra cotta saucers. So, with the help of my son, we constructed a fountain. It's now about 14 years old and has lasted through several iterations.
