Tutorials
Hang tubes from the rim of a glass container to drape down with design details
When you need to keep a tiny stem hydrated this is just what you need.
Wire is always sold in a roll and it can be very frustrating to try to remove bends, kinks and curls.
I don't always want to wire my test tubes into the design. I like to create a bit of movement by simply hooking the tubes to gently swing.
Favourite Flowers
Spanish moss, Florida moss, long moss, or graybeard
