Why not try making a herbarium, a popular interior decoration? Prepare a container, your favorite flowers and beads, and baby oil.

First, place the flowers and beads into the container, being careful not to overfill it.

Also, if anything tends to float when put in liquid, soak it in the liquid beforehand.

Once you’ve added all the parts, slowly pour in the baby oil, close the container lid, and it’s done.

You can also focus on choosing a stylish container and decorate it with stickers or washi tape to make it extra cute.
