Bedazzling has been having a moment, and now this trend is making its way into floral arrangements. Lifestyle content creator Kristen Duverge (@misskrisnicolle) recently took to Instagram to share a whimsical take on the trend. Instead of sticking gems onto the flowers themselves, her hack is sustainable and you can recreate it with fresh blooms every time.

This easy decor hack uses colourful gemstones and clear water beads to create the illusion of jewels suspended in water. The best part? The DIY gives old glass jars a new lease of life, making it a more sustainable way to add some sparkle to your festive décor.

Things you need
- A tall glass jar, even a clean, transparent pickle jar works just fine
- Clear water beads
- Chunky, colourful gemstones in fun shapes such as diamonds, stars and hearts
- Seasonal flowers such as roses, tuberoses, lilies or carnations
- Water
How to do it
- Wash and dry the glass jar thoroughly before you begin.
- Add a layer of clear water beads to the bottom of the jar. As you continue filling the jar with water beads, drop in the gemstones. Place wherever you like.
- Once you have filled the jar with beads, pour in water. The beads become transparent, making the gemstones appear to float mid-air and creating a playful, jewel-like effect.
- Finish with seasonal blooms such as roses, tuberoses, lilies, gerberas, or carnations. Place it on your dining table, console or festive decor corner for an instant sparkle.
