I saw this instructable by pro-mpilchfamily a great idea. I needed one for my daughter, but I wanted to make it child friendly, add a little pizazz if you will. This is basicly a modification of the one I saw, the design concept belongs to PRO- MPILCHFAMILY, I just made a few changes to suit our needs. My hats off to you "Thanks for sharing".

Drill a hole to fit gromet on the led mister, make sure the hole is close to top of container. Feed the wire of the mister from the inside out. Then you can take your hot glue gun, and glue the mister to the bottom, inside the container. Glue around gromet, and hold in place till it sets. Take one of the sponges and place a drop of glue on each corner, and put inside container on the other side leaving room for other sponge to slide between wall and glued sponge.

Cut the pc. of aluminum to fit the inside of the top. Then drill a small hole at each corner of the aluminum. Drill thru the aluminum into the top and then put in the screws at each corner. Measure the bottle at the depth it will sit in the top. Then take your compass and draw a circle the size of your bottle on the plastic top. Then draw the other circle for the vac. attachment. Use the x acto knife to cut out both circles, and trace around the holes onto the aluminum with a pencil. Remove the alum. plate. Use a unibit to drill a hole in each circle, cut the holes out with tin snips. And screw the plate back on the top. Take your hot glue gun and glue around the alum. plate. Rotate the glue gun to get that welded effect.

Insert the bottle and glue around the outside, flip over and glue around the bottle.Notch the top of the bottle to unload water.  Cut a 1.5 inch square pc. of sponge, and put inside the bottle at the top. Place the vac. attachment on top and glue around the outside. Cut hole for fan on the container at the same end as the sponge, at the top of container. Screw fan to the side, and place other sponge just inside container. Solder wires from fan to power supply. Make sure the fan is wired right. Some fans will run in reverse when wired backwards, you want the fan to blow into the container.

Ready for Moisture

Fill container with water, just to cover the led mister, remove the sponge from the bottle and fill the bottle then replace the sponge. Place top on container and snap the lid all the way around. IMPORANT the mister must remain below water level or it will burn the ceramic disc on the mister. Dont plug the mister in to power, unless it is under water. After water is put into bottle and container, Plug in the mister and the fan and enjoy.
