8 inch foam balls

Patrick, on September 14, 2012 at 5:27 PM Posted in Do It Yourself 0 22

My fiancée is trying to do center pieces herself and is looking for 8 foam balls. They are charging $15 a piece in stores. Anyone knows where to get them cheaper??

    Hi Patrick, your best bet is Michaels with coupons. They usually have them online and in Sunday paper. Hobby lobby also has them if you have one nearby.

    Tynisha, for $4 you can only get smaller balls, like 4 inches. I am looking for 8 inches.

    Thanks, Chantale/Mrs S!

    Hi, welcome to WW! Please change your avatar so that we remember you more easily. (it doesn't have to be a picture of you per-say) It will help us determine spam/trolls vs real bride and you'll get a better response. Most don't even open threads with the double rings. Here's how to do that and more :-)

    I've seen the 8 inch (and bought) them at Michaels for less than $15

    By searching the forum, I did find one thread talking about it:

    But the links coupons are so old, most of them do not work now.

    Is she sure she wants 8" balls? Once flowers are added, that's actually pretty large. And depending on the vases she wants to use, they get very heavy because they contain water.

    Mrs S, she said she WANTS 8 inches, and I would never argue with her. Smiley smile

    Yes yes, of course :-)

    I'm just wondering if she's aware of how many flowers that will take. That's actually going to be a major cost. For example, take a look:

    So if she just wants 5 of these, and carnations are really inexpensive, it will take about 500 stems.

    She said she uses artificial flowers. so the cost and weight will not be that much.

    You know what I just found?

    http://www.amazon.com/Decorations-Floral-Project-Projects-Decorate/dp/B009B1FM34

    6 pieces of 8" balls for $42 and shipping is free. so that's $7 each. I will keep searching.
