I love a relaxing fountain outdoors on the patio and when I saw this relaxing and when I recently went over to my old best friend’s house and she had one of the most amazing fountains 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 fountain 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.

Materials:

  • Old Baby Bathtub
  • Cement
  • A Pair Of Old Gloves
  • Paint
  • Pipe
  • A Small Fountain Pump

Directions:

First, mix up your cement and form little faux rocks all around the outside.

I was so excited to post photos of my new cement creation to Facebook and I called my very best friend who helped me discover this DIY Cement Fountain Project too! Everyone couldn’t believe how awesome it was, it truly looks amazing when it’s flowing, I just love it and so does everyone else. It was so gorgeous I decided to make some more and sell them on eBay and at my local farmers market, I really think people are going to love them too and want to buy them!

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.
