Add ambience with a sparkling pond

A glass pedestal dish goes from ordinary to extraordinary when filled with water, candles and succulents. To do: Fill a shallow pedestal dish or trifle bowl halfway with water. Add four white floating candles to the bowl, then set three cut succulents afloat (they’ll look like lily pads). To finish, cut ribbon to fit around the bowl and attach using double-sided tape.
