Prepare the K-Cup: Take an empty K-Cup and drill a hole in the bottom. This will allow water to flow through.
Create the Fountain Base: Use a plastic shoe box as the base of your fountain. Drill a large hole in the lid for the K-Cup and several small holes around it for water drainage.
Install the Pump: Place the solar panel water pump inside the container. Attach a straw to the pump and feed it through the hole in the lid, ensuring it connects to the K-Cup.
Assemble the Fountain: Secure the K-Cup on top of the straw, ensuring it is stable. Fill the container with water, making sure the pump is submerged.
Add Decorative Elements: If desired, add stones or pebbles around the K-Cup to create a natural look and provide perches for hummingbirds.
Power the Pump: Position the solar panel in a sunny spot to power the pump. As the pump runs, water will flow from the K-Cup, creating a gentle fountain effect that attracts hummingbirds.
This simple setup not only recycles K-Cups but also provides a fun and refreshing water source for hummingbirds in your garden.
