First I rounded up a short glass vase and a glass votive...

I then placed the votive inside the vase and filled the votive with water.

Next I spray painted some river rocks in patriotic colors...

and then placed them inside the vase around the votive in layers.

Finally, I snipped a few flowers from my garden and the centerpiece was complete - too easy!

I hope this inspires you to create something using river rocks - please send me a pic if it does!
