Pearl Water Falls Centerpiece - finished centerpiece on table I brought my love for nature into my living room since our summer season will be going really busy. I just imagined myself going to this pearly wonderful waterfall while making this craft.

Supplies:

stones, pebbles & sand
transparent tape
hot glue sticks (as many as needed)
blue colored paper
shells
beads & pearl accessories
artificial plant accessories
white glue
cardboard

Steps:

Trace a circular shape onto the blue paper and cut this out. Make it any size you want.

Fill the tape with melting hot glue, let it drip from the shell down to the base to make it look like a flowing water.

Put pearls inside the shells and decorate the whole thing with gems, pearls, and shells.
