Tabletop fountains are beginning to be the new trend.  You can have them outside on a patio table or you can bring the garden inside and place it on your indoor table.  They are decorative and beautiful to look at, but they can also be expensive.  Instead of buying them in the store, you can make your own. 

Materials you will need.

A watertight container and a pump with water flow controls.

Tubing, black or clear

Pieces of precut PVC pipe

Plastic embroidery grid, cut to fit the fountain container.

Window screen, cut to fit fountain container

Marbles, river rock, beach rocks, polished pebbles,

Copper elbow to direct the water

Chlorinated water

You will need to place the pump in the bottom of the container and cover the pump with a sturdy plastic container, with places cut out on the sides for the cord and water intake. Place the cut out of the top for water flow.  Next, surround the plastic container with PVC pieces and place a piece of plastic embroidery grid and piece of window screed on top of the PVC pieces. 

Make sure the pump tubing extends through the top of the grid and screen.  You can place decorative filler like rocks or pebbles on top of the window screen.  Use any materials that will not disolve over time. 

Add the copper elbow to the end of the tubing, directing it so that the water flows where you intend.  Then you can conceal the top with another decorative rock.  Fill the container with water and plug in the pump.  If you want to add a final touch, you can surround the fountain with plants.  If you want to add the plants, you will need to make sure that they are in a leak proof container.
