STEP 1:

So Let's start...

We need 4 pieces of 3mm Acrylic Sheets of 18-inch height and 4-inch width. And 6 small pieces of 1/2-inch height and 3-inch width for the bracing.

Place the 4 (18-inch) pieces side by side and stick the masking tape at both ends, and then slowly turn the pieces.
Attach the 4 small acrylic pieces with super glue on top of every 18-inch acrylic pieces.
Another 2 small acrylic pieces at the bottom of 2nd and 4th 18-inch acrylic pieces.
Then fold the 18-inch acrylic sheets and stick them with the masking tape.

STEP 2:

Now we need an acrylic sheet of 3-inch height and 3.8-inch width. (Sheet 1)

Make a hole at one corner of the acrylic sheet with a drill to attach the water pump with it.
Take a 3/4 inch pipe and make a small cut with a scissor and insert an electric wire through the pipe, then seal the cut with Araldite Epoxy Resin, and let it dry for at least 1 hour.
Put Silicon Sealant inside of the long square acrylic sheets at one corner and place the pipe with the electric wire onto it, and let it dry for at least 2-3 hours.

STEP 3:

Now we need an acrylic sheet of 3.8-inch height and 3.8-inch width (Sheet 2) with a notch at one corner of the sheet, so the pipe passes through.

Attach the sheet with Silicon Sealant on the 4 small acrylic sheets which were placed in the body of long square acrylic sheets on top.
Then, with a soldering iron make few small holes on the sheet, to form rainwater drops.

STEP 4:

Now we need an acrylic sheet of 4-inch height and 4-inch width (Sheet 3).

Take a blue waterproof LED strip, cut the LED into 4 small pieces.
Take 2 LED pieces, make a parallel connection, and attach them on the acrylic sheet 3.
Turn the sheet and spray with a silver colour. (optional)
Take a Push Terminal and make a connection with the LEDs and the electric wire.
Attach the sheet 3 with Silicon Sealant on top of 18-inch long square acrylic sheets and let it dry for 2-3 hours.

STEP 5:

Now take the acrylic sheet of 3-inch height and 3.8-inch width. (Sheet 1)

Attach the Water Pump with hot glue on the sheet 1.
Put a plastic plant inside the18-inch long square acrylic sheets.
Then attach the sheet 1 with super glue on the 2 small acrylic sheets which were placed in the body of long square acrylic sheets at the bottom.
Take 2 LED pieces, make a parallel connection and attach them on sheet 1.
Connect the LEDs with the pump and electric wire together and connect them with a Push Terminal.
Then take a 12 Volt LED Adopter and connect it with the same Push Terminal.

STEP 6:

Now take a Paper Sticker and cover the masking tape area.
Then take a bucket for water container and spray with a silver colour (optional)
Cut the lid of the bucket and place the long acrylic sheets on the bucket.
Fill the bucket with water.
Then finally plug in the wire connected with the 12 Volt LED Adopter and switch it on.
