    I finally finished my button balls.

    I only wanted six to line the aisle of were the girls and I are walking down. So if you can picture red carpet, the button balls themselves on white little pail buckets and raised from the ground and positioned like this

    imagine an archway at the end. White chairs to the left and right and arch way letters hanging  in our initials.

    If you pictured that ok, I think I might have just done my wedding planning right! Thank goodness these button balls are done! Good to see a vision come to life :)

    Heres a close up

    These are amazing.  I would have never thought of doing a button ball.  However, after seeing these I might use your idea into something for my wedding.  How many buttons did it take to make these?  Cost rnage?

    Wow!  That is so cool!  I never even heard of that before.  It looks like it was time consuming, how long did it take you?

    It was about 500gm of buttons per ball. I couldnt tell you how many exactly. Cost 14.00 AUD per ball and 10.00 for the actual ball itself.

    We originally wanted standing pomanders but they were 60 bucks a pop to hire so I thought that was wayyy to expensive to hire, so decided to create our own.  It took maybe about 3hrs per ball if you were going at it non stop. obviously this would depend on the size of your ball. I just used to do a bit of it at a time as I work fulltime.

    Glad you like them ladies :D

    @Regina Phalange: Nah I decided not too. I was a bit buttoned out by the time I finished and I had already arranged a florist to come up with these babies..
