How Do You Make A Gazing Ball Tabletop Fountain?
Tabletop fountains are fairly easy to make and the materials list is short and inexpensive. A gazing ball tabletop fountain brings a little bit of old-fashioned gardening to the home or office. Gazing balls, also known as yard globes, originated in 13th century Venice but were quite popular in Victorian times. A gazing ball for a tabletop fountain can be made of mirrored glass, which would be most similar to the traditional yard globes. Stainless-steel globes are available in a variety of sizes, but can be quite heavy. Alternatively, a solid glass sphere, either translucent or opaque, can be used. Select a container for your fountain. Use almost any kind of waterproof material for the bowl, and it doesn’t have to be round. Ceramic, plastic, glass and metal containers will work well. Make sure that any ceramic container is glazed; terra cotta is not a good choice. Place the submersible pump into the container. Secure the pump with the suction cups that come with it, or weigh it down wit
