Flower Soft & Basic Grey

Flower Soft has arrived! You will find it is very easy to use. Just lay down a thick layer of glue, sprinkle on the tiny "flowers" and tap the excess off. Unused portions of this product can simply be put back in to its container for later use. There are so many more possibilities than just flowers with this new innovative product!

It comes in many colors, including Polar White, which makes for a great fuzzy Santa beard or a snowy landscape
