Question Jessica,
I see these silk flower arrangements in vases at stores. What is it they use that looks like water but its solid. Is it possible to do that at home? Thanks.

Answer Hello! The substance they use to imitate water in silk arrangements is a clear acrylic. It's actually sold in craft stores as acrylic water. You mix the ingredients in the kit together, fill your vase with it to the desired level, and then add your silk flowers. The acrylic will set and harden, usually overnight.
