A school project such as a diorama requires a bit of creative rethinking when you're trying to re-create natural elements in miniature form. Water poses one of the trickiest possibilities; while you can create a pond, lake or ocean with construction paper, it just doesn't have the look of true water.

Dioramas are an excellent way to recreate a scene or a moment from the past. They're like tiny time capsules that help you relive the moment when you look at them. But no matter how realistic, a diorama without water is incomplete. That's where we come in with our guide to creating realistic water for your diorama.

Making fake water for a project is quite easy. Just follow these simple steps and you’ll be good to go. 1. Take a glass bottle and fill it with distilled water. 2.
