The Steelpix® machine is a must-have when creating silk or floral arrangements. It eliminates the need for you to individually wire and tape each stem because it automatically places a metal Steelpix® pick into the flowers stem with the pull of a lever. This allows for easy insertion into floral foam and limits the amount of movement of the stem once it is in your arrangement. The metal Steelpix® picks also make your arrangements more stable and durable.
