Question: is Faux ok when it comes
to flowers?
While browsing in Homesense I came across a wide variety of
faux flowers. I especially love Hydrangeas and Viburnums.
These two specimens are very similar in
shape.
They range in price from $4.00 plus per stem.
Now Pottery Barn also has a fine selection
of faux flowers and they show you how to display them.
Again a hefty price for faux flowers.
Another is Michael's they also carry a large
selection of faux flowers and their price ranges from $5.00
per stem.
While browsing Pinterest for spring flowers I came across these
gorgeous blooms Viburnum. Or other known as the snowball bush.
Now I have seen these beautiful large blooms in vases displayed
in beautiful settings.
I knew these were the flowers that I wanted.
But how?? Spend $5.00 a stem......
How many stems??
At 7 stems $35.00 plus tax...
These has to be another way...
Why not make them...
Yes I made these amazing flowers with
tissue paper and a $store bouquet.
Add floral beads to cover the
stems!
Diane @ In My Own Style has an excellent
tutorial on just that.
How to transform fake flowers to look Real
Just add water to make them
more realistic!
I was so pleased in how they turned out!
I LOVE THEM!!!!
Mine will be displayed in my
Blue and White Vase!
Before we know it the Viburnums and
Hydrangeas will be in full bloom.
Thanks for stopping by!
