    I would have a chat with your local florist who will be able to make them for you - depends on the quality of the pot as to how much they would cost though.

    They should be easy enough to make for that price. I could make them in silk if you wanted them.

    Thanx for your replies. tmr1234, yours look amazing, how did you do them and if you dont mind me asking, how much they cost you to make?

    If they are not too hard and relatively cost effective, I mite have a go at doing my own, if not, Sherrie H, I mite contact you, but I live in Reading so mite cost a bit to post out, as want them approx 30 cm tall

    They are really easy to make you need a plant pot, wood rods, ball of oasis, flowers and plaster of pairs. cut the rod to the size you need it, then put the plaster in the pot and set the rod in it leave it to dry. Cut the flower stems to about 2" when the plster is dry push the foam on to the rod to make a hole but dont do it to deep. Then just start pushing the flowers in it is easyer to take the ball back off when putting the flowers in. Just carry on placing the flowers in untill it is full and then fill in the gaps with smaller flowers. after it is full glue the ball to the rod and put moss or what ever i have used white stones and red gems in the top of the pot. and rap ribbon or what ever you want around the stem.

    you can ues tree branches in place or the rods so you dnt need to rap them.

    hope this helps

    O yes the balls cost £5 for 6

    the pots where £3 for 6

    the rods was a long pice of round wood wich was £1

    the flowers was about £2 for 12 for the white and £1 for 12 of the red

    we needed a lot of flowers thow but if you dnt get as big a ball as i did you wouldnt need as much flowers. i think i got 6" balls
