These handcrafted flower holders are a vintage classic! Featuring rounded pins, these gentle flower arrangers make creating unique floral designs easy, and are made to last for decades. Perfect for showcasing your favorite garden blooms, this flower holder makes for a great conversation piece or gift for your flower-loving friends! Use them with your favorite fresh or dried flowers, or for creating wonderful silk arrangements. They're a charming addition to any home decor or floral design collection! These 2-1/2" Round Hairpin Holders come in a set of two. Made from rust-free materials featuring a heavy, lead base and brass pins, the Floral Genius flower frogs have extra-long pins placed closely together to keep both minimalistic and elaborate designs in place with ease. We use lead as the base to ensure stability for larger arrangements, & while painted pin holders offer a barrier to this material, unpainted pin holders will have an exposed lead base. This small amount of exposure is harmless, though, we do recomment using caution, avoiding contact with your mouth, & washing your hands after handling unpainted pin holders. The Floral Genius pin holders are easy to use! Simply adhere to the bottom of your favorite water-tight container, fill with water, and stick stems in the pins to secure them in place. You can easily create your design from any angle. As the only makers of the Blue Ribbon Flower holders in the world, we take pride in continuing the legacy of these unique floral frogs. Each pin is hand-set by our artisans and crafted using the same process patented by Ida Sinclair in 1936. Blue Ribbon flower holders are handcrafted exclusively in the US by Floral Genius - a sister company of Harmony Harvest Farm of Virginia, USA.
