I recently went over to my old best friend’s house and she had one of the most amazing waterfalls I have ever seen on her porch. When I asked her where on Earth she got it and she said, to my complete amazement, that she had made it herself! I was completely dumbfounded, I said, you mean you are a waterfall maker? She laughed and laughed, no far from it she said, then she pulled out her phone and showed me a Youtube video where she found this amazing idea. I couldn’t wait to get home and try this out. I started getting my materials together as soon as I pulled into my garage because I was going to make this DIY waterfall a reality, I could not wait because this waterfall is so awesome looking.

Materials:

  • Styrofoam
  • Glue
  • A Boxcutter
  • Knife
  • Red and Grey Paint
  • Quick Dry Cement
  • A Wood Burner
  • Tubing
  • A Pump

Directions:

First, draw out all your brick shapes on your styrofoam and tunnel out the grooves where your faux mortar will go.

Then mix up a medium size bowl of your quick dry cement and apply it to the faux brick walls you have created then stick them to the styrofoam base.

Then make a well bowl for your waterfall out of styrofoam by stacking, then covering with your quick dry cement.

Then paint your gorgeous waterfall and add a corrugated roof and then fill your well in the middle with water and organize your pump and tubing to get the water to run off of the faux roof.

Since I lover experiments, I’ve alwaysnloved to create, paint, as well as cook and style food. I feel in love with DIY as soon as I discovered it and could not have been more excited when I learned I could share projects with people around the world. Taking photos is a passion of mine, as is design and painting with oils. I love holidays and celebrations, crafting cute little gifts and serving up at least one new recipe I am excited about.
