Who needs an "Aqua Globe"?

Not me thats for sure! I saw the ad for an "Aqua Globe" on television and I thought they were very neat. However, there is no way that I would pay that cost and risk having one of my, ever so graceful, children break it within the first month of owning it.

And lets face it, a pretty, shiney, colorful thing such as this in the plant that is sitting on the floor is sure to attract the hand of Mr. Curious himself!

So I made my own and it is soooooooooo simple. I used a water bottle. I opted for the Dasani bottle, simply because it is more sturdy.

I cut the end off, insert, fill with water ,and viola! And you cant really even see it when it is in the pot!
