Mosaic Toilet Tank Pot



I love the idea of this re-purposing! Especially since I have an old toilet in my garbage pile waiting for the junker to come. So I'll post my results here when I get to it.

Wonderful! Since I have many felines roaming around my house, this is pretty much a necessity. Use these plans as a base and add or modify as needed. Does not look difficult at all and offers you the ability to change as you need it.
