I usually have several projects lined up (in my head, anyway). On the weekends, when Howard is at work and it's just us chickens here, I like to spring into action. Last weekend, I started on a water wall. I originally saw this idea in a magazine, and then for the life of me, I could not find it again because I just knew that it was something I pinned.
I finally took the time to look for some similar ideas, but when I went to the store, I still wasn't really sure what I was looking for. I already had the screen left over from when we replaced our screen door. I knew I would need the zip ties and maybe funnels... So, here is what I came up with.
I found a smallish pool noodle in a cool color that I cut up and used. I ordered the tubes, so I did have to wait for those to arrive. That was okay because I also had some Mountain Dew to drink:
These two top funnels were soda bottles that I cut the top part off to form a funnel. Then, I covered the cut part with decorative duct tape, so there wouldn't be any sharp edges. The funnel toy at the bottom was one that we already had.
I added an old flour sifter at the bottom there, and a funnel at the top helps get the water in the tubes without getting it all over us! I could add a few more funnels and maybe a strainer, but Emma already loves this. If only I could get her to stop trying to bite the pool noodle!
