DIY Saturday: Make A Garden Fountain Out Of Anything

By Manuela Williams

Happy Weekend everyone! We’ve been considering putting some type of water feature back in our yard (we used to have a pond but disassembled it a few years ago). Not sure what we’ll go with in the end but I came across this idea at Instructables. It’s a DIY garden fountain and although the example is with rocks it says you can make a garden fountain out of anything by following their basic steps. How cool is that!

Adding a water feature is a lovely way to add more enjoyment to your yard and this one doesn’t take up a lot of space! Read the comments for more tips. Everybody says it’s really easy!

    Seems that the birds would love it! That one must be a Canadian fountain. =D

    I have been wanting a new fountain, but they are a little pricey. I’ll look over these ideas and see if I can get my husband on board:)

    Let us know if you decide to do this! I don’t know anyone personally who has done this, but my neighbor-friend does have a little pond with a small waterfall in her backyard that she built herself.

    BTW, I went into Aldi today to get some fruits and veggies, and decided to check out the fresh meat section while I was there. You had told me that your Aldi had organic, grass-fed ground beef. Not so at my Aldi! The only fresh ground beef they had was the regular stuff. Of course, it said “natural” on the package, but you know that doesn’t mean anything! Of course it’s “natural” – it comes from a cow! lol

      Hi Melanie,

      Mine had it but it was just for that week. A Wed -Sat/Sunday promotion. It was in the circular for that week and said grass fed organic beef.

      Maybe they’re testing the product to see how well received it would be. So hopefully we’ll see more of that!
