Be careful with the blowtorch!!

[katkramer]

I wouldn’t try melting a bottle with a blowtorch…it would probably shatter and could hurt you!

The jewels that Stephen referred to might be available from a florist…or a hobby store…or even Walmart.  They use them for floral design, and sell them in bags.  They have smaller and larger ones.  I just found some on Amazon, too.

Love your “accent,” are you from across the pond?
