I turned a plant pot into a DIY water feature using Temu bargains – I spent £8.41 and there’s no fuss, just zen vibes
A DIY enthusiast has revealed that rather than splashing the cash on a posh water feature, she decided to make her own.
The bargain hunter and savvy mum who is from the UK, used two cheap buys from Temu to turn a plant pot into a DIY display – and people think it looks “beautiful.”
Not only this, but Emma, who often shares cleaning and crafts content online, explained that with her garden project, there’s “no fuss” involved.
Posting on social media, Emma demonstrated how she used just two products from Temu to add style to her garden.
She explained that she already had a large plant pot and slate stones, but used a solar fountain and silver gazing balls from Temu to keep the costs down.
Emma spent £8.41 in total – just £4.44 on the solar fountain pump and £3.97 on the stainless steel gazing balls.
To create the water feature, Emma placed a cheap plant pot into a larger, more stylish plant pot she already had, that she originally purchased from Home Bargains.
She then filled the pot with slate stones, which she had previously purchased from B&Q.
Following this, she added the solar fountain to the pot and poured in some water.
According to Emma, the affordable solar fountain has “no wires” and is “no fuss.”
With Emma’s water feature, all you need is sunlight and water, for what Emma described as “instant zen vibes.”
The mother finished off the water feature by adding the silver balls to the large pot to “add a touch of reflective decor.”
The content creator’s daughters even got involved in the process too, as she beamed: “The girls enjoyed helping.”
Clearly thrilled with her bargain water feature, Emma described it as “affordable, stylish and fun to make.”
And it’s clear that others are equally as impressed with Emma’s garden project, as her TikTok clip, which was posted under the username @the_restingrichface, has quickly racked up 48,600 views, 533 likes and 26 comments.

At the same time, another user asked: “Do you find you need to keep topping up the water?”
In response, Emma wrote back and shared: “Yes we top it up occasionally… but it’s not too bad.”
