Later I plan to epoxy the flowers to stems made of glass cane that I pulled. The steps to attach to the stems are not in this video, but I hope to create another one soon showing my setup for doing so. I do have a video on creating the stems using a vitrigtaph kiln.

Chalk used was purchased at a local Dollar Tree. Look in the Easter section in spring as they are typically with the items for filling baskets. You can try their website although at the time of this video it shows out of stock:
