A Complete Guide on Pin Holders Used in Floral Arrangement

 Pin holders, also known as floral frogs, are the most significant piece of flower arrangement equipment. The needlepoint carrier, which is just a leaded foundation out of which emerges a compact collection of fine needles, is one of the simplest and most convenient flower holders. It can be adorned with the tips of floral stems in practically any configuration.

Types of Pin Holders

1. Plastic Pin Holders

For putting floral foam into vases, containers, and platforms, plastic pin holders are excellent. The perforations in the bottom, which are made of tough, stiff plastic, ensure better adherence and stability. 

Among the most appealing features of plastic pin frogs for flowers are that they are substantially less expensive compared to their metal versions while still being recyclable.

2.     Metal Pin Holders (also known as Kenzan or floral pin frog)

Metal pin holders or metal flower frogs have become a common eco-friendly choice for fastening flower needles inside a water source. They can be used multiple times.

 

3.     Glass Pin Holders

Glass pin holders are truly elegant and perform a good job at keeping stems in position at the bottom of a container. They are available in a variety of ornamental and artistic designs. Glass flower frogs have the extra benefit of being rust-free andheavy, which helps them stay upright. They do not, unfortunately, have a lot of versatility when it comes to stem positioning.

 

4.     Clay or Ceramic Pin Holders

Clay and ceramic pin holders have similar features to glass pin holders and are frequently available in fascinating styles that enthusiasts adore. Although, they are similar to glass pin holders in that they do not provide much versatility in skilled floral design work.
