These rust-proof 'Blue Ribbon' flower holders hold stems firmly from any and all angles. They are the most versatile holders, able to make any style arrangement--from formal centerpieces to informal bouquets. The 2 1/4" height allows control of the tallest, heaviest stems. Custom designed 'hairpin' shaped brass pins do not prick your fingers or split stems, while the heavy lead base helps stabilize the arrangement. They are painted a very inconspicuous foliage green color. They are the ONLY flower holders that will hold fresh, dried or silk material. They're made in the USA to last a lifetime. 3" baseWeight: 8 oz.
