Water Jewels Centerpiece

Some of my favorite centerpieces have been made using Water Jewels, sometimes called Water Gems.  They are tiny dehydrated pellets that when soaked in water, they swell up into what looks like clear marbles.  They’re squishy & bouncy and when water is poured over them, they become invisible, which makes easy designs using flowers.

The supplies for this centerpiece are, Water Jewels (got them at Michael’s), a clear container that will hold water, flower heads, water, measuring spoon, water & some candles.

After they gems have swollen in the water (about 6 to 8 hours) you can tuck flower heads down into the beads.  Top with water to watch them ‘float’ in the water, because the gems become clear.

Add candles to the top of the beads.  They keep the candles in place.  Light the candles & your centerpiece is complete!

This centerpiece can be customized for any tablescape, simply by changing the colors of the flowers used.

It would make lovely centerpieces for weddings, baby showers or any ‘special’ dinner party.

(Water Jewels will dehydrate if you don’t add more water to them.  You can add a few drops of Essential Oils to the water to make them into a room freshener.  When they are no longer being used, store them in a gallon sized Ziploc bag.  If you don’t want to store them, mix them into your garden soil to help keep the ground moist when the rain is scarce, DO NOT let them go down your drain!).

Happy Creating everyone!

 

 

 

Frosty Centerpiece

The temperature today is only 15 degrees & everything is frosty outside.  This centerpiece was inspired by all of the frosty days in the Winter.  It’s easy to make & only uses 5 items.  The hardest thing about this centerpiece is waiting for the paint to dry.

I hope you’ll give this one a try.
