Royal Imports Artificial Carnations, Silk Faux Flowers, for Funeral Arrangements, Wedding Bouquets, Cemetery Wreaths, DIY Crafts - 100 Single 5" Stems - White

I was wary in reading reviews of how crushed the flowers came in box and some buyers either spent hours fluffing or one person just threw them away. So when they arrived I started unbanding the bundles and tried to fluff each by hand which didn’t really work and having ordered 4 boxes (400 flowers) I wasn’t going to spend a frustrating day doing this. I then thought of the ‘wrinkle-free’ setting on my clothes dryer. So I started by dumping 100 flowers into my kitchen sink filled with warm water and swished them all around. Then placed into a colander to drip, then to the basement and into the dryer. I used the “wrinkle-free” setting, high heat set for 20 minutes. After 10 minutes they were dry and totally fluffed out (see photo) Now 2 important points. One, I threw in a couple dryer sheets the first time thinking that would expedite fluffing out but many of the sticks with teeth got caught in the sheets, so next try I omitted the dryer sheets. Two, the flowers (sticks) kept getting caught in the lint trap. So I wrapped a thin dinner napkin over the grated openings in the trap and slid it back into the trap opening. Problem resolved. So the first box took a little more time for trial and error but in the end it took about 30 minutes to do 400 flowers. (Well it took the dryer 30 minutes !!) I would just like to add MHO and frustration in reading reviews particularly ones that start “you get what you pay for”. These flowers are only .18 each and crushed into a box. OK, so what would you be willing to pay to have each and everyone totally perfect? $2 each?? No way!!! It’s somewhat amusing in that these are being used to “create” many beautiful things as shown by obviously creative customers who added lovely photos to their reviews. Thinking outside the box sometimes requires a creative solution to solve a problem. So don’t throw them in the trash, throw them wet into your clothes dry!!! Enjoy!!!

I was looking for bulk yellow flowers to make an eye popping wreath. I found this and was a bit skeptical but boy am I sure glad I took a chance! These flowers came in bunches (pic 3) and easy to take apart. The stem is a tight fit but easy to remove if you want. I used needle nose pliers and just bent a 90 in it for my wreath. Some flowers were a little smooshed but they fluffed back really nicely. There are a lot of loose threads that fall off initially, since they are really new. I just fluffed them over the trash can to save on clean up and have had zero problems after that. Great purchase for the price! Target had a similar wreath for $44 and I was able to make my own for under $20.

When I opened the box of carnations, my first thought was this is horrible and they are going back. They were packaged very tight and all squished together. Therefore, they were just flat. However, I took a few out of the box and worked with them and they do open to look very nice. If you have arthritis or anything else going on with your hands I might not recommend these but if not then they should work well. The material is fine for the Christmas Tree decorations as they were used by me. I personally would not use them in a normal floral arrangement. I prefer something more realistic for that.

I needed to make some homecoming mums and could not find the mum flower anywhere. In desperation, I bought these and they are working perfectly. They do come smashed up but I just grab my heat gun and zap them for a couple of seconds. They opened up perfectly. These are cheap but that's just what I needed for my project. I definitely don't recommend using them for weddings or nicer events.

I purchased these for my sisters bridal shower and I was no disappointed! They came already wrapped in small bouquets, so it made it a lot easier for me to put together the centerpieces. They didn’t arrive smooshed, just needed a little fluffing. And they looked great in the vases!

Used these in vases at a wedding reception, thought it would be much easier than trying to round up enough fresh red carnations the week of the reception. (The El Camino de Santiago was the decorating theme, and Spain’s national flower is the red carnation!) They were very well made, looked very nice in the vases. We have some in a vase now in our home!

I was a little concerned with this purchased based upon the reviews. Mine arrived and I immediately opened them. They were in packs wrapped together with rubber bands. I fluffed them out a bit and they look really nice. No smell, nothing fell apart. Not cheap looking like the ones found at the Dollar store. Very nice!!

These are way awesome! I bought them to make a flower curtain for my wedding. I just opened them and they're super fluffy, beautiful white and the heads pop off the stems(thank goodness!) I was worried I was going to have to cut them all off. Went with these instead of real carnations and I am SO GLAD I did!!

What did I bloody pay for!I didnt buy this so it could come looking like damn toilet paper stuck on a stick!!All the flowers are ruined because apparently nearly £18 for express delivery means they cant afford a big enough box to fit it all in!! The more I look at it the worse it gets!!None of these flowers can be used for anything!!! Ecerything is so misshapen!Nearly paid £40 for delivery and the product and this is what I recieved!!

These are awful for the money, defoe not silk, feel like crackly paper, wont buy againAll squashed in boxHeads are all flat, pics added

Absolutely stunning flowers beautiful vibrant yellow

Arrived all scrunched up but fluffed them back up with a hair dryer, heat directed at the back of the carnation look really nice when done .

Item descriptions says that they are silk carnations thay are not silk they are so cheap looking out of shape cant send them back a postage it to high to the US
