Hello, today I have a neat little project that should be fun for anybody, should only take approx. 30 minutes, and is the perfect addition to any desk (at work or at home).

When you're at work, don't you notice sometimes it gets too quiet? Do you, like me, have a boss that won't let you have anything unprofessional-looking on your desk? Then why not solve both problems; build a speaker into a flower pot!

Concealed in this bouquet (or mess) of fake flowers is a small speaker! While it may not be too powerful, it is probably more than enough so that you can hear your mp3 player, but not enough to annoy co-workers. The beautiful part is that unless somebody knows where the speaker is, nobody would probably guess!

Here is a list of some materials you will need:

1x Flower pot (preferably with a hole in the bottom; $1.50 at the dollar store)
1x Speaker (pulled mine out of a broken set of skullcandy headphones)
Fake flowers (Dollar store)
Thin Cardboard (Soda pop boxes work wonders)

Also necessary are the following tools:

Adhesive (tape or glue)
Scissors
Knife (optional)
Drill or Dremel Tool (should your pot need a hole)
