are you going to use them as weights instead of pins when cutting?

Is it one of those glass inserts that you put in vases to help keep stems erect and separated? Inserted into container to help keep thing that are long and thin easy to get in and out of the container. Now I need one -- where did you find it?

Sheltie'smama, it is indeed a flower frog for keeping your flower stems upright. I found it in the second hand store but it is going to be my .........scissor frog.[ATTACH=CONFIG]596852[/ATTACH]

You are so inventive! I let the ones my mother had go to the thrift store.

I have several glass frogs, but will keep mine for my crystal vases because I love fresh cut flowers in the house..
