My DIY Pomanders

2- twice as many as jackie hahahaha....

overachiever.... :)

how many did d1rty do? she does everything in excess like dress shopping!! She probably made 5! We are such slackers!

i've made 6 so far...  but since i'm switching hot pink out and eggplant in - i have to start over now!!  i shouldve learned from dress shopping and stop chaning my mind!! hahaha

I'm looking at getting the silk carnations from roseys garden to make two pomanders for the first two pews of the church - can anyone tell me if buying one package w/ 100 flowers will be enough?

jackieg you used ~50 carnations for a 5" foam ball right? So erindira 100 carnations should probably be enough for 2 pomanders each about the size of a volleyball...

erin...you will need about 40-50 to cover a 5" ball....here are mine....

ps...i PM'd you....did you read my message?

I would get more just incase...I made the 3 inch pomander last night and I had to go back to the store to buy more flowers! I know that Jackie said she used 5 bushes (which have about 18 flowers) from the same store I got all my flowers. I used a red hydranga looking flower as well as carnations.

yes...you don't want to have to stop and get more!  i almost used those Cry...but they didn't have enough instock! i ended up having like 5 or so of the smaller blooms left on each bush that i didn't use....but i saved them of course!

I had bought both thinking I could play with the carnations after I did the pomander in the other flowers, but when I realized that I didn't have enough I used the carnations also! Thank God they were the same color!!! But now my ball looks funny upclose like its uneven from the bush flowers and lower from the carnations!!! But it looks okay in pics! My FG is going to carry that instead of petals!!!
