Craspedia, billy buttons, billy balls, and my favorite term, woollyheads... whatever you call them, they make such an adorable bouquet. They remind me of little velvet balls and come in amazing colors. They'll last even longer if you snag yourself some dried billy balls for a DIYed bouquet.

Here are some jewel-toned beauties from Etsy that we'd looooove to see in a bouquet. Put on your crafting pants (yep, that's probably a thing...) and make your own dried billy balls bouquet...

Just watch out if you have allergies, they're a little fuzzy.

Are you planning on grabbing some dried real flowers for your own bouquet? Share your plans in the comments!
