    Can anyone tell me where I can find these? I found this one on Etsy for $24......WAY to much. Maybe someone is selling some after their wedding? :)

    Believe it or not, I just saw these at my local Walmart the other day!!

    I can't remember how much they were... but they were in the crafts and sewing section! Good luck on your search!

    What do you plan on using them for? I saw some small ones on ikea.. they were mixed in a bag for about 7$ but they were pretty small. I wanted to buy some to hang from some branches for thanksgiving.. If you plan on using them for decor they would work! But only some look like actual branches.. the others are a similar rustic style but different

    These should be available at different craft stores and target-like stores. The holidays are a PRIME time for these types of decorations to be sold. Call around and ask for "wicker balls", etc.

    Hobby Lobby is where I got mine. They were like $5 a piece. I used these to decorate our gazebo for the ceremony.

    They are grapevine balls.

    If you are a DIY'er you have time to make your own, Grapevines are pruned in the winter. If you can track down a grower, you only need to soak the vines in water to  make them pliable then wrap them into a ball shape. You can even do giant ones around an exercise ball then deflate it to remove the ball.

    Thanks everyone :) I plan to hang from sheppard hooks for our outside wedding, as well as get some dark wood balls, lighter wood balls and moss balls for centerpieces. I wish I could find an inspiratation photo of it.

    @MrsNeutrino: I saw them on the Ikea website, but I can't order them online as it says they don't ship them...And I live on an Island so I have to go to the mainland to get them as we don't have an ikea here

    @Jd64848704: I'm going to check at Walmart next time I'm there :)

    @julies1949: I am definetly a DIY'er but I don't really wanna tackle this one as I am a perfectionist, and I think it could frustrate me :)

    Are you planning an evening wedding using the grapevine balls with battery operated lights?

       I think they will look great hanging from shepherd hooks.

    They can also be used in so many ways in the daytime

    Would you like me to scope out what they have in stock at the loval Ikea's? I live in Vancouver.

    You can also find grapevine balls at your local nurseries and garden centers.

    @julies1949: Wow, THANKS! I like all of those. We are getting married in a park outside in the early afternoon, and then in the late afternoon/evening we are having a dinner/party at a mansion we are renting. The mansion has a few pools and in the center of the pool there are big fire bowls. We are earthy and I am trying to incorporate all the elements and I LOVE the look of the grapevine balls to add the wood/earth element.

    Thanks again!

    @Candace From BC: I would reconsider making your own especially if you want some large ones. They can be very expensive and are soooooooooooooooo easy to make.

    I used grapevine balls along with my pomanders.  They had them at both Michaels and Hobby Lobby (definitely bring your coupons).  I wanted to add a little something to them, so I wove these artificial flowers through them and they hung on our arbor.
