Turn everyday elements into stunning table centerpieces with this layered candle look.

Start with a base of rocks, add real or faux flowers submerged in water, then top it off with a layer of sand-colored wax and a wick. The result is a glowing, natural-inspired candle that doubles as an art piece.

It looks far more expensive than it is, which makes it perfect for any event that needs a little extra wow on a reasonable budget.
