Waterfalls are one of the most relaxing elements you can have around your home, the sound of the water can calm your nerves and lull you to sleep if you have one near the bedroom. When I saw this concrete barrel waterfall video tutorial by Creative D2H, on YouTube, I really wanted to make this awesome waterfall idea for my screen-in porch area.

Materials For Concrete Barrel Waterfall:

  • Sand
  • Quick-drying concrete
  • Craft paint
  • Styrofoam
  • A small pump
  • Some decorative greenery (you can use real or faux plants)
  • A palet knife

Directions:

In this concrete barrel waterfall video tutorial by Creative D2H, on YouTube, you will learn how to make this gorgeous project in a few easy steps. You begin by making a sand mold, and then you will cover the sand structure with the quick-dray concrete. Then, as it starts to harden you will begin scoring the concrete in a wood pattern. You will make several of these in different sizes.

Then, you will make the bottom bucket shape, then attach the whole thing together using the styrofoam, then you will paint it. When all the paint is dry, you will add the water and enjoy the look and sound of this beautiful waterfall.

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.
