When you have a lot of gluing to do and need to work
"hands free", (without a glue gun in your hand) hot melt pan glue is
indispensable. This is an excellent glue pan with temperature control. The pan is 7
inches in diameter, perfect for nearly all jobs.

Floral
Foam Bricks
Commonly called "wet foam", floral foam is the primary material for making
modern floral designs. Floral foam is designed to absorb and hold water in it's capillary
structure. Flower stems properly inserted into floral foam will be held in place and
can draw water up into the flower stem from the floral foam. Before designing an
arrangement, floral foam should be allowed to soak in a solution of water and floral
preservative / food. Each brick is 9"x4"x3".

Florist
Wire
Floral Wire has a multitude of uses
with different gauges used for different purposes. The higher the gauge, the smaller
in diameter and more delicate the wire. A low-gauge wire like a 16 or 18 gauge wire
is used for supporting flower stems, binding florist netting around floral foam and
securing floral foam into a container. 21- and 22- gauge wires are a good all
purpose wire used for securing bows. 26-gauge wire is used primarily in corsage an
boutonniere making.
