I’m about to sell my glass flowers at a holiday bazaar and you answered my most pressing question, how to display them.

It started as a hobby after I retired but I am interested in growing and trying to sell some also and this really helped! Thank you

Regardless of the method of construction, the flower head is always made to be easily removed from the post for storage over the winter. Then re-attached to the post in summer, w/o having to re-install the post. If solid (meaning not too fragile) pieces are used on the dish flower, most glass and ceramic plates can handle the cold. I left a couple out one year as a test and I live in a winter state. But they may be more at risk of damage from high winds, rocks or chunks of frozen snow tossed by a snow plow, icicles or snow falling off a roof (if the flower bed is next to the house), so for that reason, I always recommend storing the flower head in the shed or garage. As for ceramic plates fading…I have not experienced that myself, but we have rather mild weather in my state. Ceramic plates are sealed to make them suitable for food and to withstand rigors of normal use (dishwasher, microwave etc.) I’ve never heard of them fading. In fact, this is the first time I’ve had that question. Melamine and other plastics fade easily, but not ceramics. If someone has seen a plate that looks faded, it’s b/c the plate has seen a LOT of use. Lots of scrubbing, knife scratches from cutting food…maybe a restaurant plate and the sheen has worn off, but not the color.

I am currently making these as a hobby and I given them as gifts. One question that is asked is if they can stay outside in snowy winter weather or if they should be brought inside during the hash months? Also I have been asked if the sun will fade ceramic plates? Do you know the answer to these questions?

I’m doing my first craft fair this Saturday. This may be a bad idea, but I have tried the PVC pipe and they didn’t work so I got wooden dowels and painted them green for stems. I haven’t seen anyone using them so I’m wondering if it is a bad idea? It was alot less expensive, I had to buy 40 of them and they were easy to work with. Have you ever tried them? I figured if anyone buys flowers they can get a metal pipe.
