Step 2 – Add Your Flowers to Water
When you have gathered enough flowers for your Mother Essence, add them to the surface of the water, face up so that they are not touching.
Let the bowl with the flowers sit undisturbed in the sun for approximately three to four hours.
There are loads of ideas for recycling bottles even shoes.
I may try to do some holly for Xmas decoration after being inspired by some of these.
