How do I make fake clear water for silk flowers w/o using resin?

clear elmer's glue? i have not used it, but i think it dries clear. there's a clear Gorilla glue now, too. It make be a little expensive though.

glue gun glue perhaps??

Glass marbles look good.

Glass marbles is a good choice! Clear ones with maybe a few light blue would be good.

You could use any glue that dries clear. Tape your flowers in place by making a lattice of painter's tape to hold them in place while the glue dries.

Hot glue

I agree with Lea & Nan The clear marbles would be a good choice
