If you’ve ever envied the gorgeous water bead centerpieces often displayed at weddings or large events, TikTok knows the feeling. Water beads are once again trending on social media, with users finding the most creative ways to create gorgeous floating displays for events, holiday decor, or home centerpieces.

Then, individual flowers, petals, and leaves are layered inside of a clear vase with water beads separating each flower. After the water beads and flowers have been layered, enough water to fill up the vase is added; this causes the clear water beads to look invisible, making it seem as though the flowers are suspended inside the vase.
