anyone know where i can find non-tacky shamrock shaped decorative bead/gems?
I wanted to put live shamrocks inside the vases for the centerpieces for my wedding but my fiance thinks they’ll turn brown too quickly
i like the little glass stones they put into vases, fish tanks, etc., but i can’t find any shaped like shamrocks (found beads with shamrocks drawn on them but nothing shaped like them)
plastic would be fine, but i don’t want anything too tacky…i have looked around in craft stores/online & only found the cheesy mardi gras ones or green beads with shamrocks engraved into them
my wedding is in may so it’s not a st. patty’s wedding but my fiance and i are both proud to be irish & i want a little touch of it in the wedding
i can’t think of a diy way to make them but if anyone has any suggestions…

I use a magazine/company called oriental trading for my scrapbook and craft supplies. I found these shamrock shaped jewels on there. You get 150 of them for only $4.00. I think they would look great in your vases. Good luck and congrats on the wedding!
Go to Orientaltrading.com and type IN-48/2901 in the search box. That’s the item #.
