Need help finding reasonably priced pomander/kissing balls?

Question

I need a place to buy rose balls, aka pomanders, or kissing balls. I would like for them to be anywhere from 5-10 dollars per piece. They don't need to be big. I am willing to make them on my own but found the artificial roses to be too expensive to go that route. I probably need 10-15 of them. I've looked all over and everyone wants 15-50 dollars for one of them. Anyone have any good ideas? I've looked on ebay and they want 5 dollars per piece to ship them.

Your best bet is probably to go with daisy balls. They're cheaper and can still look beautiful. You're probably not going to get under 15 dollars for them-- you could try going to your local florist and asking them for advice. I work in a flower shop and designers are more than happy to spend time with you to formulate a good plan. They might have some floral foam balls you can purchase (they may even give you some of them for free) to use. Have you tried going to Michael's craft stores? Their silks are the cheapest around and are nice looking. You could buy some silk roses and poke them into the floral foam balls to make rose balls. You're best off making them! Good luck!
