I want to share with readers with one decorator reception. If you are a fan of water element and water lilies, then you may like to see in my garden, at the cottage or in the apartment a small pond with lilies. I will tell you how can you create not a real pond, but some stylized similarity. So how to make a decorative pond with your own hands.
For the manufacture of a decorative pond, we will need:
Great shallow water tank
Fresh cut flowers
Rock or other water plants (let's say for aquarium)
Sea pebble

STEP 1
First, find the appropriate dishes: it can be a colors a bloom, only without a hole in the day, ceramic peeled, plate, basque, tray, at least 5 centimeters depth, wooden barrel. Before you start, make sure the waterproof capacity of the container.
Step 2.
Select beautiful stones or buy sea pebbles in pet shop. For example, I always bring some kind of pebbles to the sea. Over the past 10 years, a large number of pebbles and interesting pebbles accumulated in my house. In the pet store you can buy a soil for aquariums, including artificial - beautiful glass granules, if you want. If you have gone through stones in nature, you will thoroughly wash them carefully, but better a little boil in a saucepan.
As an option - you can only buy a large white pebble of about one size. This will bring a certain decorative charm to our venture.
Step 3.
Buy or assemble in natural conditions a ripple, you can also purchase several water plants for aquariums in the pet store.
Step 4.
As a lilies, we will use any cut flowers. Well in our pond will look asters, chrysanthemums, gerbera, rose cloves, or any others for the season. The author depends on the artistic taste how good the flowers look good in your pond.
Important: First, cut the flowers, leaving about 5 cm of the stem. And when you already load them into the water, then cut it again - right in the water, it will allow them to remain fresh.
Step 5.
Fill the stones with water, then let it float the cut flowers, and only add a row. Your pond is ready.
