Craspedia is my latest obsession.  They’re a part of the daisy family, which is probably why I love them so much.  Daisies are a happy flower and craspedia looks like little balls of sunshine.  I can see the similarities, how about you?

Craspedia is also known as Billy Balls, Billy Buttons and Woollyheads.  The names are all kind of fun too, huh?  I’ll refer to them as billy balls from here on out throughout the post, craspedia is a little too formal for me. (wink)

Little balls of sunshine! Craspedia (also known as Billy Balls) are my new favorite thing. Check out some of the great uses at livelaughrowe.comI remembered seeing billy balls on the Painted Fox website awhile back.  I’m not much of an impulse shopper, so I saw, I loved and I moved on…  haha!  However, I didn’t completely forget and did a little research on pricing.  After a few days, I decided to buy some of these cuties to have around the house.

I bought a couple of bundles on Amazon (from Nettleton Hollow; however, they were a little less at that time) and I kind of want more.  You can also purchase them in a number of other places — including Etsy. Please note that affiliate links are used, but there is no cost to you.

I’m excited to use them for centerpieces, styling and more!  Here are just a few of the many uses that caught my eye while surfing the web….

Little balls of sunshine! Craspedia (also known as Billy Balls) are my new favorite thing. Check out some of the great uses at livelaughrowe.comYou’ll find billy balls are very popular in weddings as well — from boutonnieres to bouquets, centerpieces to jewelry.  Yellow and white are a beautiful pairing.  If I could plan my wedding all over again, I think it would be a rustic theme and billy balls would certainly be a part of it!   Hope you leave a little happier today, friends.  Hugs!

    Love them, they’re definitely little balls of sunshine. We call them “Wolknoppies” (little wool balls) in South Africa.

      How fun that you call them “Wolknoppies” in South Africa. 🙂 They sure brighten up a room…and even a day. Have a great week. xo.

    I have been seeing these everywhere and didn’t know what they were called! Thank you for not forgetting and investigating. I love their simplicity and in yellow they are just so happy!
