These glass flowers are a little tricky at first, but with some practice you will have fun creating them in a wide variety of colors and designs. Don???t just think jewelry???beaded flowers look great on wires placed in little vases. I particularly like them with white bases that help reflect the bright colors. Have fun and watch your garden grow.
