- What This Idea Means: By utilizing clear polymer water gel beads, faux faux pearls and flower stems appear suspended in mid-air inside a water-filled glass vessel, creating a magical floating illusion.
- Materials Needed:
- Dollar Tree tall glass cylinder vase
- Clear water gel hydration beads
- Faux faux pearl beads (white and champagne sizes: 10mm to 20mm)
- High-quality faux flower head (white orchid, calla lily, or rose)
- Floating candle disc
- Distilled water
- Step-by-Step Instructions:
- Hydrate the water gel beads in water according to packaging instructions until fully expanded, then drain excess water.
- Place a small layer of hydrated gel beads into the bottom of the cylinder vase.
- Drop a few pearl beads onto the gel layer, then position the faux flower stem securely inside.
- Layer more clear gel beads and pearls around the flower to hold it in place up to 2 inches from the vase rim.
- Pour distilled water slowly down the interior side of the glass. The water makes the clear gel beads completely invisible, leaving pearls and florals suspended.
- Float a white disc candle on the top water surface.
- Pro-Tips & Creative Variations: Submerge a waterproof LED tea light at the bottom base before filling for a glowing centerpiece. Use metallic silver or blush pearls to complement your precise wedding palette.
