For DD to wear in her hair for a dance comp

Ideally single flowers 1.5cm-2cm across white maybe camellia or magnolia possibly with glossy green leaves?

Dunelm and Hobbycraft have them - not sure of prices though.

saadia · 25/09/2009 20:05

I mean they have flowers - not sure if they have the ones you are looking for though.

BonjourIvresse · 25/09/2009 20:11

a lot of the private companies on ebay do next day delivery...

If you have time to order then VV Rouleaux are great. If you live in London then you could visit one of the shops. Alternatively, John Lewis and dept stores with haberdashery sections might do.

OK I am struggling to keep up - ebay alone is immense

I am looking at everything everyone has suggested.

I will tell you what DD & I pick

Thanks

Oh dear I am not doing well - I can't see what I want in flowers so I looked at crystal/diamonte (not pearl as it's not a wedding) & they are all very predictable/naff

What a shame

Thanks for everyone's help but I still haven't found what I am looking for

Does anyone have any other suggestions

I can probably make the leaves actually - so it's some halfway decent flowers I need

ChookKeeper · 26/09/2009 19:04

Claires?

Katymac · 26/09/2009 19:27

I will have a look

Pictures of DD are now on my profile......which looks best?

katy - make some yourself perhaps? i made these at end of post really fast and easy to do. HTH.

piprabbit · 27/09/2009 00:13

A lot of larger garden centres now stock ranges of artificial flowers. Might be worth a visit if you've got one locally.

Katymac · 27/09/2009 06:56

Good idea about the garden centre

VintageViolet I have been looking for you for days - I need some button help.....pretty please?

OP posts:
Katymac · 27/09/2009 06:59

VV - that is it - I want them just like the grey one but in pure white with diamonds/crystals in the centre............but it's way to difficult for me, I'll keep looking

OP posts:
vInTaGeVioLeT · 27/09/2009 21:41

when do you need them by Katy? I can make you some if you like? I don't have the supplies but they are easy to get hold of. Let me know.

pointydoug · 27/09/2009 21:50

I like ikea's fake flowers

Katymac · 27/09/2009 21:58

Really VV? I'd need about 5 pure white ones with a non pearl centre, something glitzy? on a kirby grip

But I really could do with them by Saturday (but if you can't I understand & I can use them at the end of November too)

Did I send you a chq last time or was it paypal or something?

I would possibly love you forever...
