    I need to get my mind out of the gutter, I just made myself laugh xD

    I've decided to make those ball things for my BM's instead of bouquets, but I'm not sure what size polystyrene balls to get as I don't want them looking big and daft... I'm making those kusudumi flowers and they are approx an inch and a half tall, I can't find the ruler ha, so just wondering what size ball would be best, I know il misjudge it and it will end up huge and I don't want the. Football sized!

    Ohhh Hun you don't want small balls ...I would say hold you hand as though you were going to catch something and what ever size ball you can hold comfortably would be a good bet .

    ( I didn't smile once when writing this ....honest )

    Depends how big you want them and what size flower heads your using hun, you could use a 10cm ball with 3-4 cm high heads or a 12cm ball with 3-4 cm heads just depends on how big you want them to look maybe get a 10 and 12 cm ball and have a mock run you could lways use spare ball as a sweet tree x xx

    You could have one below the other ... One dropped ball could look good !!

    Oh watch out for having different size balls though .. You never want to have one ball smaller than another
