Where can i buy the branches for my wedding centerpiece?? and hanging crystals?

Question

I need a place where i can buy the manzanita branches for my centerpiece and hanging crystals for innexpensive..or DIY! any ideas?

i am open to stringing my own crystals, but i can't find any in bulk.

Answer 1

I would go to a craft store or even cheaper - cut your own branches (do they have to be manzanita branches?) and spray paint them.  For the crystals, you may have to look online.  Go to any of the sites that sell beads/crystals to those who make jewelry.  Large chain craft stores like Michaels may be able to connect you to vendors.  Good luck!

Hi.  You can buy them at save-on-crafts.com, but they are NOT cheap:

I'm sure they have the crystals on their site also.  Or....look any any local craft store.  You may also want to try Ebay.

Answer 3

Check places like Garden Ridge, Hobby Lobby and Michaels.  I'm pretty sure Garden Ridge has stuff like that in larger quantities.

Real crystals are kind of pricey, you may want to go with glass beads instead.

Here are a few websites I founds:

Answer 4

I found a couple different sites. What color manzanita branches do you want, colored, natural??? Also what color crystals are you looking for? That would help a bunch.
