I've found that the lids to bottles of Tropicana orange juice (you know the fancy shaped ones: square body, fluted neck) have a nice shape to them not to mention an inlaid design. They may be a little to tall scale wise for some folk but hey that's what a dremel with a cutting wheel was made for. A little stone texture outside, a bit of a water scheme inside, & of course some hot glue or clear caulk with maybe a touch of gloss to help simulate water on top of the water scheme, of course some bit box pieces here & there, & you've got a nice'n'fancy little water feature for any town, tower, castle, or dungeon as it were.

I did it again ... I thought outside the box and thought hmmm they make cool fountains, but if I flip these over they'd sure make one hell of an altar. A little light glue gun work to cover up the Tropicana logo and some stone texture, & a magic symbol on top for a believable finish and presto an alternative use for something I might of otherwise thrown out. Just because my bit box has more left over cardboard cuts and other recyclables than it does sprues, & other miniature accessories doesn't make me a hoarder right guys? Hehehe .... Hope this idea sparks something in y'all. Keep crafting!

And again I just blew my own mind I gotta just stay logged in when I'm on a roll like this hehehe .... Stone texture, a little hot glue and stack two or three of these caps on top of each other either one up and one down or both the same way for some cool looking pillars I gotta calm down I'm a bit too excited about this I think hehehe ...

Caps from used spray paint. Already has an inner and outer ring. Just cut to height. Used a mini, added a bead in the hand for a mug, dental floss coated in hot glue attached to mug and draped into main fountain. Viola! Classic pouring fountain. EDIT Here is the beginning of a paint cap fountain. s1298.photobucket.com/user/Belatucadras/library/Fountain
