Decorating with Silk Flowers in Acrylic Water

Across the country, silk flowers in acrylic water are showing up in homes, hotels, restaurants and office buildings. For just a fraction of the cost of constantly replacing fresh-cut flowers, and fooling everyone into thinking that they are fresh-cut real flowers, these arrangements are a sensible decorating idea.

It isn't as difficult to make arrangements of silk flowers in acrylic water as one might think. The most important thing to remember when making one of these arrangements is that you have to use very high quality silk flowers for the illusion to work.

The acrylic water may look like the real thing, but if the flowers are obviously fakes, no one is going to be fooled. The ultimate goal with these wonderful arrangements is to fool people into thinking that they are real, fresh-cut flowers.

That being said, step 1 would be to choose your flowers. Step 2 would be to choose your container; this would have to be a clear, glass container for the illusion to work. Step 3 is to decide what materials you would like to include in the arrangement.

For example, some arrangements look best with some clear glass gems or some river rocks, or perhaps even some small sea shells at the bottom of the vase

These magnificent arrangements are replacing fresh cut flowers in homes, hotels, offices, and restaurants.
