The art of making flower glass beads is thought to date back to medieval times. Artisans manufacture flower shaped beads out of glass which are used for various craft projects that require ornate flower arrangements. It is important to keep in mind that flower glass beads are more delicate than a round or tabular bead. Thus, they need to be treated with care.

Process
Most flower glass beads are made out of matt glass, dichroic glass, furnace glass, frosted glass, fused glass, blown glass and lamp worked glass. In all these process the glass becomes molten and then is given the desired shape of a flower. After that they are added with decorative effects, and different colors of glass interact with each other.

Popular Forms
Delicate and intricate looking, flower glass beads can be molded into any flower structure such as forget me not, ivy, lily of the valley, poppy, acorns, pansies, sweet pea, violets etc. All these forms can be further decorated with the help of paintings, gold & silver foils and by mix-matching various colors.
