“Looking to add a touch of elegance to your garden without splurging?
“I’ve got you covered with a simple and affordable DIY water fountain hack.”
In the clip she first grabbed a large plant pot and filled the bottom with pebbles to make sure it would stay in one place.
She then took a pot saucer that was slightly larger than the opening of the pot and placed it on top.
After, she grabbed her solar-powered water fountain kit and put it on the saucer and covered it with more pebbles.
Marta advised buying a solar-panel kit with a battery of at least 3.5w to ensure it works throughout the day.
You can purchase a similar one on Amazon for less than £15 which boasts seven sprinklers.
Finally, Marta got a watering can and filled the top with water and she finally had a gorgeous water fountain in her garden.
The water does need to be changed frequently, but it will cost you next to nothing to run otherwise.
The clip, posted to her TikTok account @marta.makes has since gone viral with over 2 million views and 31k likes.
People were quick to thank her for sharing her trick in the comments.
One person wrote: “It’s so beautiful. I made a similar one with flowers, but I need to try this one.”
Another commented: “Do you have to keep putting water in there though?”
“Yes, couple of times a day. getting my steps in,” Marta replied.
“Bought a similar item it is fab works all day in the sun,” penned a third.
