These small hanging vases are intended to hold little dried flowers, seed pods, and the like (not for holding water).

They started out as teeny bead cones, then got larger and instead of poking a hole through it – they had hanging holes inserted by the main opening.

My daughter is a collector and brings me snippets of flowers all the time!

And these vases are the perfect vessel to hold those tiny treasures…

But displaying them for sale – until today – I really struggled with that. How to go vertical and stable?

I had these wooden spool holders and decided to wire them up with 16 gauge galvanized wire and create a hook. So far, I am 85% liking it. Not too sure I like them being see through – as that detracts from the pieces a bit (or maybe I am too critical?).

For now this works! I am prepping creatively for the Bead and Button Show in early June, where I will be selling with Nikki of Thornburg Bead Studio – booth #610.

And the wire hooks pop off, the rack folds nearly flat (ideal for airplane travel), and the ceramic vases get packed separately.

Each rack holds 15 vases – which I think is a great number to have to pick from.

This year I plan on designing out some really fun and fast bracelets and earrings for the show as well!

Sure hope to see you there!
