Help please- want test tube vases!

*Jellie*

As a scientist I'd like to have test tube flower bud vases at our reception.

Any ideas on how I could make a stylish holder for the test tube? Anyone seen anything like that to buy?

Thanks

Are you looking for something that looks like a test tube rack but a bit more stylish, or holders that will just take a single test tube?

*Jellie*

Holders for a single test tube so it is more MSE. I've searched on web but can't find anything suitable at the moment.

Have you tried ebay Jellie? There's some on there that look like eye lash curlers!

If you could hollow out some florist's foam (maybe with an apple corer?) you could use them to stand the test tubes in. You could then decorate the foam with some artifical flowers maybe?

Or something ike this http://compare.ebay.co.uk/like/220689062288?ltyp=AllFixedPriceItemTypes&rvr_id=185175379772&crlp=1_262531_281231&UA=WXI8&GUID=bef5862512b0a0e203f11a71ffb39969&mt_id=635&query=%7Bquery%7D&fitem=220689062288&linkin_id=8060231&kw=%7Bquery%7D&ff4=262531_281231

Not really test tube but nice anyway http://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B002GTYUM2/ref=asc_df_B002GTYUM21519187?smid=A1JANZ6P729WPV&!!!!!dealtimecouk-kitchen-mp-delta-21&linkCode=asn&creative=22242&creativeASIN=B002GTYUM2

Thanks so much for all these great ideas. Spoke to DT technician at school and he is also going to think up some ideas. He can probably get me free offcuts of wood and help me if I go the woodwork route. You guys must have the knack of picking decent terms in google or eBay. I only found a couple of things!

I really appreciate the help x
