What’s Hot Now: Beaded Fruit and Flowers

With dazzling bright colors, beaded flowers and fruits are fun, quirky collectibles. Glass beaded flowers date back to the 1890s and were popular through the 1960s. In Victorian-era parlors, they were used for permanent flower displays, placed under glass domes, or displayed in shadow boxes. Beaded fruit was originally sold as a kit, which included a fruit form, sequins, and glass or plastic beads. Assembling these crafts was a popular hobby from the 1940s through the 1960s.
