Fall Bouquet

I am now really into seasonal decoration. It actually gives me a little joy to have some change in my house instead it be so drab. I am going to make a nice small bouquet.

You need:
Silk Flowers
Scissors
vase (your choice in size)
water
bowl (that you really don't want)
water beads
wire cutters

Here it goes!

I chose a short round vase and I added the water beads. You let the water beads set for a couple of hours and they become these vibrant nice size beads.

I cut the silk flowers really short so they can fit in the vase and look nice when bunched together. So I just added flowers until the vase is filled out.

I cut the silk flowers really short so they can fit in the vase and look nice when bunched together. Then I just added flowers until the vase is filled out. You can add berry stems for a more fall look (which I will probably do).

Very easy and inexpensive project for home decor. For a more spring/summer look you can change the beads and flowers to a more warm weather color.
I picked up all the items at walmart.
