Terra Cotta Fountain Project

Terra cotta planters make the ideal basin for a do it yourself water feature using the container fountain kit. Once the planter is sealed, it takes less than 10 minutes to have a beautiful fountain.

Items Needed

Terra cotta planter
Sealant if your planter is porous (like terra cotta)

1. Prepare

Gather all the items needed for this project. If the planter you have chosen is porous, you will need to apply a sealant so your container can hold water. Wait for the sealant to dry before proceeding.

2. Hole

Drill or widen the hole in the planter if desired.

3. Plug

Thread the cord through the drainage hole and use the rubber stopper on the cord to plug the hole. Alternately, you can drape the cord over the edge of the planter.
