Silk florals and other permanent botanicals have become very popular in home d¬cor. Amazingly realistic and beautiful, faux florals are a key product line in craft, floral, gift, and home stores, and many people are enjoying being creative and saving money by making their own arrangements.

5.0 out of 5 stars Beautiful Florals, November 9, 2006
This review is from: Fabulous Faux Florals: 50 Easy, Extraordinary Projects with Silk Flowers and Permanent Botanicals (Paperback)
I am very impressed with the Faux Floral book. It gives great suggestions and is easy to understand. Since I design my own floral arrangments I do not use some of the information. But if you are a beginner, it's an awesome addition to your library.
