Millefiori paperweight actually consist of several rods of glass, whereas each rod itself consists itself of multiple layer of colored glass. In a first step for example white glass gets heated and then put into a heated form, for example a flower. Then another layer (for example orange) gets layered around the white glass and so on. Finally a long, thin rods gets created out of this, with for example additional wrists. These rods then serve as basis for the millefiori paperweight.

How is a dandelion paperweight made?

A dandelion paperweight is made by carefully preserving dandelion flowers, typically by placing them in a mold with resin. The process involves arranging the flowers in the desired position, mixing the resin according to the manufacturer's instructions, and then pouring the resin over the flowers in the mold. Once the resin cures and hardens, the paperweight is removed from the mold, resulting in a beautiful, encapsulated piece that showcases the delicate beauty of the dandelions. Finishing touches may include sanding and polishing the edges for a smooth finish.
