FAUX FLOWERS LOOKING FABULOUS !!

             

               
Loving flowers in my home year round........

But what if they aren't in season......

Like my favourite..........

                                                  Peonies

Next best buy faux!!!!

When I spotted these I knew they were coming home with me......

They are very impressive don't you think.......

I knew just where they would bring some beauty .............

I have a long hallway .............

Not much light in this space so faux were the best here.............

A cute vignette down the hall.....................

      Loving how just a few Peonies light up the not so bright hallway!!

                                    Looks and feels like spring is just around the
                                                    corner......


                                                      Thanks for stopping by!

Faux or Real

                         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!
