i need help!

My mom made something similar to these. The vase is actually full of these little clear jelly orbs and when you add the water, the orbs aren't visible anymore. My mom didn't put a candle on top, but instead put beads throughout the vase for the "floating" look, when they were really just nestled into the jelly orbs. I'm sure you could do the same thing with the candles! You can find them on Amazon under "jelly marbles", "water orbs", etc.

This picture is the photo inspo she used, but didn't have the candles, just the color beads.

It's craft water gel and is sold on Amazon here

The gold flakes are just a sort of chunky glitter like this...
