They were really quirky (cool) looking so I cut one and put it in a bud vase. It looked soooo different...however the next day the onion smell was overpowering so out it went.

They were so fun to work with!<br /><br /> About the floral foam, Last I knew Walmart also sold a package of 3 pieces of Oasis. I am not sure on the price. You could also ask at a florist if you could buy a block from them. I know I am able to buy them from my wholesaler for about 60 cents each (in a box of 48) and so they might give you a decent deal.<br /><br /> Your flowers look lovely!Abbihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01842277589160618685noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12364613.post-73493481165816482422009-06-05T22:07:10.486-05:002009-06-05T22:07:10.486-05:00B-E-A-utiful!B-E-A-utiful!Jenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03210806380721381658noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12364613.post-68845390352979897512009-06-05T21:59:06.466-05:002009-06-05T21:59:06.466-05:00Thanks, Meredith for the tip -

It does sell the DRY foam suitable for silk or dried flowers.<br /><br />You will need to look for foam for fresh flowers, similar to the brand name Oasis foam.<br /><br />Dollar General is a chain of discount stores, but it is not the same as Dollar Tree.<br /><br />If anyone else knows of a cheap source of Oasis wet floral foam, do share. It can be reused a time or two, as well.Meredithhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08455517419708043340noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12364613.post-1886787253518023562009-06-05T21:15:55.822-05:002009-06-05T21:15:55.822-05:00Broken bottles and railroad tracks we have, but fl...Broken bottles and railroad tracks we have, but flowers?
