Here’s another little project I have been working on. It’s a small planter/water bowl/ fake rock decoration. The plants end up being right under the light in the cage.



I used a piece of plexi or acrylic that was eleven by fourteen inches and used silicone to glue three small empty plant cups. I put the water bowl inside a disposable bag, and filled all around with expanding foam.



After it dried, I trimmed the foam and sprayed it with faux stone paint, and then clear enamel.



Here it is with the bowl (exact template) removed and all painted.



Now these plants fit exactly in the empty cups and can’t be tipped over or moved.



It looks pretty good. This snake better appreciate all my work!


Thanks for looking.
