Thread: Silk Flowers?

Does anyone have any good recommendations on where to buy some nice fake flowers for your hair or other costuming needs? Any help would be appreciated.

I'm about to sell a whole bunch already attached to clips and such, would you be interested? What types and colors?

Hi Azhia,

Absolutely I would be interested. I'm looking for a few different colors actually. 3 white ones, 1 fuchsia and maybe a black or red one. As far as types go I'm not sure, I love the magnolias, gardenias and peonies but I would be open to whatever looks good. Let me know what you have.

Thanks

I'll try to take a photo of the lot tomorrow and show it to you here. ;0)

they are not silk but you can go to Claires or Icing or any of those teeny bopper stores in the malls and they sell lots of hair clips with flowers. I loaded up over halloween.

if someone had the time and patience to do it i'm happy to donate silk scraps if someone wanted to make silk flowers out of akai patterned silks..wow what a killer idea. Anyone want to be paid for a side project?

(sorry for thread hijack but had idea)

Ooh, Jes, that's awesome. I'd totally do it. Let me think on it and get back to you, as a legal assigment awaits my attention...

That's a really good idea, I know I would buy one.

Selling the lot. However, I accidentally included one that I am keeping (the indigo blue bunch in the upper left corner near the "starfish" looking flower). There are some feather pieces (including the turquoise feather, and there are 2 pink marabou clips (middle left side).

The orchids and small roses in the tray/box are not attached to any clips. There are some other orchids surrounding the bunch which are also not attached to any clips. Easy enough to do, though, with clips and glue gun.

These are lovely, I think some of the orchids could work for what I am looking at doing. Are you looking to sell them all together or by piece? and How much are you selling them for?

Selling the lot (not by piece).
I'll sell the entire lot for $25 + s/h.

Nice. I will take it. Do you want to PM me the details?

Dude, if I had your hair I'd so be messing with the partial updos! Then sticking hair pins and blingy combs in it. *sigh* OR just partial updos and blingy earrings.

partial updo (when I had the longer hair).

cute! but you've messed w/my hair and know it's pretty thin and fine, can i still do that? what do you think of blingy spirals?

Absolutely! In fact, that's what will hold the updo better than my slippery horse tail hair.
I like blingy spirals!

oooh, may be worth an investment....know any good sources? found some on amazon, but since yer in the know :p, and other bhuzzers may be the inquiring minds :D
