There are five different types of flower petal-shaped beads in this reusable plastic storage container. I think Chinese glass beads, particularly pressed shapes, have started to come a long way in terms of their quality in consistency. The way the colors graduate from tones of pink to red to clear, and some petals have a gold shimmer sprayed on the top, make these a treat for the eyes. I can picture these beads combined into some stunning floral creations!
