Craft Work : Fountain making & How to Do Procedure

re: Fountain making

Hi IL friends,

Thanks for your valuable comments.Now im going to share the procedure of this fountain making

Materials Required:

1.waste thermocol (while buying home appliances,thermocol is used for packing,use that itself)
2. 2 inches thermocol sheet - 1
3. white cement
4.fevicol
5.enamel colors


First break the waste thermocol into small pieces and then take white cement in that add fevicol. In the proportion of 5:1 ratio and add water also in that mixture to form semi liquid state.

Now just take the each small piece of thermocols and dip fully into mixture and place in newspaper to let it dry for 24hours.Follow this step until completion of small pieces.

After 24hours, that small pieces are probably like stones (that much hardend becos it is covered with white cement).Based on the fountain size,stones should be prepared.

Now we have to design base,take 2inches thermocol cut it into 3 pieces, one piece for back side,then other two pieces for both sides. If back side width is 12 inches means 6 inches width is enough for other two sides.Length is same for all 3 sides.Join the sides with main back side piece with the help of fevicol,ball pins and cello tape.Now the base fountain shape is ready.

Take the white cement mixture and dried stones,just dip one side of stone in that mixture and stick it in the fountain base. It looks like a raw finishing fountain,stick the stones completely remember that all sides should be sticked with stones let it dry for 24 hours. You need thermocol balls,so that smash the termocol sheet and take it.Now mix with white cement mixture and fill it in the middle of each stones hole.This gives greater support and it create rough surface finishing to the fountain.After filling mixture in the holes allow to dry for a day.

Its time to color the fountain by using enamel colors.Atlast fix the artifical leaves,flowers with the help of ball pins,shilpakar(M-seal) whereever you need stick it.For more attraction place ceramic dolls also.Let it dry for a week.

In back side thermocol sheet,make two holes to fix the tubes.place the fountain into the glass container and pour water,attach recycling motor with the tubes.Now you switchon the motor and see how your fountain works.

I think my step by step procedure will help you to do this fountain.If any doubts feel free to ask i will explain...

With love
Aishu....
