Fake Flowers

[pagas]

Where is the cheapest place to get silk flowers?

What do you need them for, granny?

Any Michaels/HL/AC Moore type store will have them if you want them loose to make your own arrangement. I go to AC Moore up here and they always have 50% off sales on silk flowers.

Listen, I make seasonal wreaths for my door with them!

Oh, look meemaw, I found your OOTD from 12/24:

Not that I should talk. This (premade) wreath from Target is absolutely hanging on my door right now.

Our dollar stores have some.

Love it!

I really want one of those Easter egg ones for Easter.

I absolutely have one of them too.

And I have one my mom got at some craft fair with shamrocks on it for St. Patrick's day.

I don't mess around with seasonal wreathes.  I just don't actually make them.

I need a bunch of tulips for a spring wreath I'm planning. I was just going to go to Michaels.

save-on-crafts.com has a boatload of silk flowers for cheap.

Side note: how do you hang the wreath? My H doesn't want to put a nail in the door. What are the alternatives?

They have over the door hangers that just slide over the top.

My DH doesn't like those either as they still scratch the door. I use command hooks with no problem.

We didn't want to use a wreath hanger because they can mess up the seal and we replaced our door due in part to the fact that wind and heat essentially blew inside as if it wasn't there.

Our door has a window in it, so we have a giant suction cup thingie:

Would he oppose a small tack on the top of the door? 

You can tack ribbon to the top side of your door and hang a wreath from it.  Depending on how tightly your door fits into the frame, the tack does less damage than a proper hanger which will scrape against the frame.
