Hiya...I'm new here and probably about to ask some not particularly intelligent questions for which I will apologise now! I have boughts some vases and fake flowers for christmas presents intending to arrange them myself. I was looking to get hold of some of that clear gel to set them into thinking it probably wouldn't be too expensive (i.e less than £10). Well, obviously I was wrong? I was wondering if you had any suggestions on what I could use instead and if there are any tricks? I wondered about using those gel crystal things, though I didn't really want to have to replenish anything in them and like the idea of the stems being stuck in place. And I really do like the look of the artificial water. Sorry that I have ranted so much!! If anyone has any ideas that would be fab!!!
