Happy Weekend everyone! This DIY Saturday Series features great tutorials that I’ve found on the web that I think you would find useful! This weeks featured project is a DIY Small Tabletop Fountain made from clay pots. You could use this fountain indoors or outdoors on your balcony or patio. It’s the perfect small fountain for so many spaces and easy to customize!
What a great project to make to add the soothing sound of running water to your balcony or patio!

Although the instructions are for clay saucers and pots, I’m wondering if plastic ones would work?
DIY Small Fountain From Clay Pots
Materials:
- 14″, 7″, & 6″ clay saucer
- 3 – 4″ clay saucers
- clay flower pots
- fountain pump & tubing
- silicone sealer
- drill with a masonry bit
- small trailing plant (optional)
Directions:
1. Prepare the Terra Cotta by spraying the interior of 14 in. saucer with clear sealer. Let dry and then repeat. Soak the remaining pots and saucers in water for an hour to make drilling and filling easier
2. See the rest of the instructions on this easy to follow video at Menard’s How To Make a Small Fountain. There is a link to download a pdf with written instructions on bottom of the video
I hope you enjoy making and using this fun DIY Small Fountain!

August 31, 2013 at 9:32 amGreat idea and thank you for sharing. This may be the ideal thing for me since the movers broke the top of our fountain and although they are paying for it, I still have fountain parts left over. The pump still works so I can reuse it. Have a great weekend Manuela!
Big Texas Hugs,
