I need help on where to start to make round balls for a wedding. We'd like them to be about 6-10" round, covered in red roses. We plan to attach them to white pedestal poles that will line the main aisle. Can you help me with what might be the best, easiest, and least expensive way to do this?

Giorgina's answer: I believe that what you are looking for is information on how to make pomander balls. To my knowledge, the most economical way to make these is to use tissue paper instead of fresh or silk flowers. However, you might be able to pick up silk flowers at a bargain at your local arts and crafts store.

To make these balls using silk flowers, please see below video titled “How to Make Pomander Balls Using Silk Flowers.” If you would like to make them using tissue paper, please see below three part series on “How to Make Pomander Balls.” You can use an assortment of colorful tissue paper or stick to one color.

Either way you decide to go, the results will be absolutely lovely. Pomander balls will definitely add a lot of beauty to your church decor and look fabulous.
