Decoration
Centerpieces
I went to my cousin's graduation party and found these really cool floral decorations. They are called lots of different things, hydro-orbs, california crystals, or water jewels. I found them(labeled water jewels) at Michael's in the floral department for a $1 a bag. You add water to the sand looking minerals, wait 8 hrs, then they turn into these gel like spheres. They look like marbles, but even better! I think they look like bubbles! they're SO COOL. Even if you dont use them for decoration, if you have kids or know kids, this is a fun activity, to just play with them. And for a $1 a bag, its a cheap activity haha. The picture shows colored jewels, mine will be clear and we have about 12" vases that will hold Ting Ting, or colored tree branches. The color is reflected through the jewels. Once i find the right ting ting or branch, i will complete my DIY. I already bought the vases for $2 ea at michaels, they were on sale from $4! and I bought 10 bags, that will make 20 centerpieces. I'm very excited for this one!

UPDATE: I found brown birch branches, then spray painted them pink. I feel like its missing something though. Maybe glitter, or jewels at the tips of the branches, or hanging little somethings from the branches? Any ideas?

I found it at Michael's
