Table Top Fountain

For this Halloween table top fountain you will need:

1  Magic Mist Maker water pump
1  Bowl that is deeper than 2 inches
4  Bags of craft rock
1  Ceramic pumpkin that is open at the bottom

Step 1
Place the rock at the bottom of the bowl.

Open the Magic Mist Maker and follow the instructions to insert the metal disc (this disc when activated creates the mist effect) into the pump.

Make a shallow well in the rock and place the pump in the well being careful not to cover the metal disc (as this will prevent the mist from rising.)

Fill the bowl at least 2 inches above the fountain regulator.
(If the water runs lower the pump will automatically stop running.)

Plug the pump in and turn it on (these pumps normally have two settings.) Watch the mist create a spooky effect!

Other variations:
Select a bowl that is at least 2 inches tall.  Place rock in the bottom of the bowl.

Make a well in the bowl and place the Magic Mist Maker in the center of the well being careful not to cover the metal disc.

Place a few drops of essential oils in the water.  Plug in the Magic Mist Maker and enjoy!

Try a fall theme by placing greenery around the bowl to create a misty morning in the forest.

Add a few drops of essential oils, like lavender, and relax!
