2. Evoke the feeling of water without the water.
What you will need:
- large glass bowl (Dollarama) $3
- 1 bag multi-colored blue glass stones (Dollar Tree)
- 1 seashell (on hand)
- 1 piece driftwood or another piece of natural wood (on hand)
- 1 plastic aquarium plant or other piece of greenery
Layer the stones on the bottom, “plant” the greenery and add a shell, the
driftwood and a small piece of greenery to create the illusion of an underwater
scene.
Earth Bowl
3. What you will need:
- 1 medium glass bowl (Dollarama) $2
- Spanish moss (on hand)
- 1 - 4” engraved faux stone (Dollar Tree)
- small stone (on hand)
- a small bunch artificial flowers pulled from a larger bunch (on hand)
We found this 4-inch faux stone at Dollar Tree and nestled it into some Spanish
moss along with a smaller stone. The fake stones come imprinted with different
inspirational sayings. Add a spray of flowers from a larger stem for a hit of color
and you’ve created a miniature representation of terra firma.
Sky Bowl
4. What you will need:
- small glass bowl (Dollar Tree)
- sphagnum moss (on hand)
- small faux eggs (on hand)
- sprig of green leaves (on hand)
- decorative bird (Dollar Tree)
Squish a handful of sphagnum moss in your hand to make a roundish shape,
place it in the bottom of the bowl and make a small indentation in the centre to
create a nest. The eggs are from our stash of Easter supplies. Add a small bird
and some greenery to give the impression of life in a treetop.
5. Displayed together, you’ll have representations of sky, earth and water. Group
them on a table or stack them, as shown here.
We haven’t glued the bowls together because we’ll want to reuse them for other
things later. So, if you choose to display the bowls by stacking them, make sure
they’re on a mantel shelf or somewhere else out of reach of curious kids, pets
and others who might accidentally bump them and cause you, and possibly
themselves, a lot of grief.
