favor :: i need help

Okay, I have a question and hoping you all can help me.  I have an upcoming party that needs flowers - like LOTS and LOTS of flowers.  Fake flowers.  Where can I get fake flowers for cheap?  Anyone have any ideas?

I was hoping to find bags of them for sale on Ebay or something, but have come up empty handed so far.  I have hit up a few sales at Michael's where I bought several stems at a dollar a piece, but I need hundreds and that translates to hundreds of dollars - not in my budget.

I am going to start weekly visits to my local goodwill/dollar stores and I'm planning on making some by hand with tissue and napkins, but I just thought maybe someone might have another resource I haven't thought of.  Any help is much appreciated!!!

  2. Yes, the Dollar Tree may be your best bet, if you go online, they sell them in bulk. http://www.dollartree.com/floral-decor/floral-arranging/202c204c204/index.cat

    Just read this on my blog feed. I have made them before and it's easy.

  5. I did a fairy party that needed more flowers than the budget allowed. I made them out of paper plates. You can see them here http://www.gumdropsandtruffles.com/?p=77

  7. If you have a Flower Factory or Old Time Pottery, they have loads of flowers for cheap! I haven't been to a Garden Ridge in a while, but that used to be a good resource.
    Good luck!
