Prepping the Cement & the Copper Leaf Fountain


Sometimes it's a treat to walk into a home improvement store and walk out with a product that fully meets your expectations! A couple of weekends back I found this new to me product and it worked amazing to seal this cement planter. 


I also "borrowed" that fancy duct tape from my kid because all projects are more fun with pretty stuff! It was really easy to mask off & apply since it was in a spray can. Now, making the fountain was a bit more difficult...involved drilling holes in rocks...

I found a metal leaf that I had not used here at the new house and spray painted it a copper color. Then we went to work finding some rocks around the house and drilling holes in them. 

A pump from the same home improvement store and a little silcone to hold all the rocks/bricks together...and I'm moving water!

I'm pretty pumped! It's not as amazing as some fountains I've seen on on-line, but it's my first! 

Happy Tuesday!
