I'm looking for some fake blue roses (around 13 of them) but I can't seem to know where they sell fake roses besides Walmart and Michaels. Do you know any places that may sell them? This is for my Will of the Abyss cosplay from Pandora Hearts. Thanks for your help!

I bought all my wedding flowers on eBay, and boy was it cheaper than had I gone to Hobby Lobby! These ones look pretty real, and are a good deal too for 7 roses for only $2.50 plus shipping. They look similar to the detailed silks I bought(the seller I got them from is inactive at this time or I would have recommended them). The best closeup pic I have of my bouquet is this one with the purple rose.

If you buy the stemmed roses it is real easy to pull them apart if you need just the rose. You may have to get wire cutters though as most stems are wire with a green plastic coating.

If you don't want to buy online the only places I know that sell them are Walmart, Michael's, JoAnn, and Hobby Lobby. Some dollar stores do to, but mostly just what would be in season(fall leaves in the fall, poinsettias in winter, etc).

JoAnns is usually a good store for fake flowers. They're have some really realistic looking ones, and the price for them isn't too bad. Plus, they usually have 40% off coupons in the Sunday paper. Target has also started carrying some fake flowers in their Home Decor department, but the selection is still a bit slim. You can also check Kmart or Meijer.

I've had good luck at saveoncrafts.com, I used them as a craft resource for my wedding without any problems. They have realistic looking blue silk flowers for $1.99 a piece ($23.88/dozen). Here's the link: blue roses Hope this helps,
Love and Peace!

Vika!

Have to say thank you for referring to this seller. ^^ I was looking for purple roses that didn't look too overly fake for my cosplay (Maya Kitajima from Glass Mask), and the ones that are being sold here are absolutely perfect!
