Many decorative fountains and waterfalls can be seen in souvenir shops. Usually they are purchased not only to decorate the room, but also to humidify dry air. So, creating a table waterfall with your own hands is very important.
How to start creating a desktop waterfall?
Such a beautiful craft as a tabletop decorative waterfall not only allows you to significantly humidify the air in the room, but also creates the soothing sounds of the murmur of water. But you don't have to buy an expensive product. You can make a desktop waterfall yourself.
To make a table waterfall with your own hands, you should first stock up on the necessary items. A waterfall is considered functional if there is a constant circulation of water in it. A compact pump is required for circulation. As the bottom reservoir of the reservoir, you can use the cut-off bottom of a five-liter plastic bottle. The height of the cut off part should not be less than 7 cm. The bottom of the pond base can be a plastic backing from under the round cake.
Stages of making a table waterfall
Make a neat hole in the water tank for the pump tube. It should be slightly smaller in diameter than the tube itself. After that, carefully glue the reservoir with the pump to the base. Think about what you can use as a masking box for the pump.
To form a beautiful decorative part of the waterfall, you will need to create a relief base. You can use high quality polyurethane foam. Fill the entire base of the backing with foam and wait for it to dry completely (approximately 3 hours). After the base has dried, make a foam slide for the waterfall. Its height should be approximately 16 cm. After 12 hours after completing all these manipulations, proceed to the formation of the waterfall itself. It is recommended to lay them out with pebbles using waterproof glue. At the same time, be engaged in the formation of cells for spectacular water transfusions. Then start painting the waterfall. Be sure to make a base with cardboard circles. In this case, the size of the circles should be equal to the size of the base of the pallet. Then the circles should be glued and decorated with colored foil.
To make paint, you can use PVA glue, water and a color scheme of your favorite color. These ingredients must be thoroughly mixed. While mixing, add sand until a creamy consistency is obtained. If you want a dense layer of paint, apply the dye in several layers. Well, at the end, you can install the original bead tree, prepared in advance.
