TRUE BLUE...here for you! Glass Flower Bouquet ("true blue" meaning: loyal, trustworthy, faithful) made to show how much you care (or... you simply love the color blue!) Each bouquet may vary slightly, but includes a nice variety of shapes in complimentary blues from light to cobalt and includes 11 flowers and 1 flat sage leaf (add note for substitution desires). 👉 Vases sold seperately; if using your own, salt/pepper shakers, candle shelters, shot glasses all work great. Fill with sand or floral foam to raise flowers up; wires are easily cut to shorten.
⭐Flower diameter range from 1/4" - 1/2" diameter depending on shape- see photos for reference. Bouquets come in 4" or 5" heights⭐
Refer to images for size next to ruler on this or other listings to get an idea of the scale. On average they are between 1/4" - 1/2" diameter on a 22 gauge stainless steel wire. I manipulate a glass ball approximately the size of a pea to peanut M&M. Again, you will get one flower of each color and one green leaf for a total of 12 items.
A beautiful mix of colors in invarious shapes offer you a one-of-a-kind glass flower bouquet. Each bouquet includes 11 flowers and one flat sage leaf for a total of 12. The colors really sparkle when sitting in the sun on a windowsill, on a desk or in a curio cabinet. A perfect gift to say, "thinking of you", "feel better/get well soon", a hug for a Hospice patient, or to simply tell someone they are special to you. When you want to send a hug & smile; this is it!
Refer to images for size next to ruler on this or other listings to get an idea of the scale. On average they are between 1/4" - 1/2" diameter on a 22 gauge stainless steel wire. 🔥 I manipulate a glass ball approximately the size of a pea to peanut M&M. I then then press, squeeze, mush, pinch and pull into the desired shape; they go directly into a temperature-controlled kiln to properly anneal and harden. Take care manipulating the wire next to the glass.
⭐Bottles/vase is SOLD SEPERATELY.
I have found that a vase 1" shorter than the flowers work best (2" vase with 3" flowers; 3" vase with 4" flowers, 4" vase with 5" flowers.) Vintage salt & pepper shakers work great, or search local antique shops and Hobby Lobby/Michaels offer several small vases. The wires can easily be cut down using regular wire/side cutting pliers. If you need them longer, use floral tape and wrap them together with longer wire or skewers. 📽️ A listing in "tutorials" show how to use these flowers in a taller vase Video link: https://youtu.be/4DMZNKrMELE
👉 Photos represent an example of color of flowers you might receive, but the shapes may vary. The vase/bottle used in the pictures is a salt/pepper shaker that I found at a flea market.
👉 Arranging & decorating your clear bottle/vase
You can leave the bottle clear as is, or search for "decorating glass bottles" on YouTube or Pinterest to find bazillions of ideas; glue stuff on it like twine, lace or ribbon, shells, or twigs; paint/stain it (fingernail polish, Testors paint, or any enamel paint will work (yep, hit the Walmart craft isle). Also you can leave the bottle empty or fill with some decorative sand (add a little polymer clay at the top to keep it from spilling if tipped over) and arrange your bouquet.
👉 As with any hand crafted items, irregularities occur naturally as each batch of glass rods vary, as well as each flower which adds to the beauty and character.
😊 I do my best to represent the true size and colors. I photograph them on my studio workbench with LED lights mounted on my ceiling and use my Samsung tablet. I do not manipulate the photo except to crop or reduce the size. So far, the photos seem very true to the product colors, but may vary depending on your device. 😊ire is not an option due to the bottle limitations.
