Instructions:
Step 1:
Turn over the plastic pot and get the PVC pipe. Place it in the center and trace the diameter using the marker.
Step 2:
Using a soldering iron, make the hole in the center. Then insert the PVC pipe. Get the saucer of the plastic pot and make dots around the outer circle with the marker. Using a driller, create the holes for each of those dots.
Step 3:
Insert straws measuring approximately 2-inch on the holes of the lid.
Step 4:
Place the saucer on top of the plastic pot with PVC. Then attach it using a glue gun.
Step 5:
Make a PVC connector between the pump and the PVC pipe then attach it to the bottom and insert it into the pump. To secure the pipe, add hot glue to the inside of the connector.
Step 6:
Once the glue dries, place the pump with the plastic pot and pipe inside the bigger pot. Then place the big stones around to keep it from falling.
Step 7:
Add water and wait till the flower flows.
