BUT i absolutley refused to pay the price for them...I didnt want to use tissue paper or spend the money on fake flowers either so instead i cam up with this.....MAKE THEM OUT OF PAPER AND RIBBON!! I know its sounds totaly crazy..but it worked and i love them!!!
They are SO EASY to make
Materials: 6 inch stryofoam ball ($4.99 at michaels)
Ribbon to cover the ball ($6.99)
Flower punch choice of sizes ($11.99)
Sewing Pins in pearls and Red ($3.99 each box at joann fabric)
Card stock ($2.50 for 50sheets at michaels on sale)
Directions:
Punch out your flowers size and design of choice with paper punch i had put two flowers together and just used double sided tape to put them together i liked the way it looked better with the 2 flowers together.
Cover the ball in the ribbon you will have to cut smaller shorter pieces i found it to be the easiest way to cover it. I cut strips about 6 inches long and just started covering the ball and then pined into place (i tried hot glue went threw the ribbon used tape you could see that too so i just pined it) Dont forget about a tie at the top! for this i placed one long strip all the way around the ball tied it in a knot on top then made another knot so it would have the loop. when the ball is covered (its ok if small cracks are open and you can see the stryofoam becauase you can cover it with a flower) place the flowers all around where you want them to be and i used the RED tipped sewing pins to hold the white flowers in place then in random places i used the pearl ones. Then did the oppisite on the white ribbon and red flowers one.
Time consuming yes, but i think it looks amazing!!!
Aprox each ball cost me: $9.00 dollars!
ENJOY!
