Something like this can easily be made for under $10 with Dollar Tree Supplies. Grab a metal container and a block of styrofoam. Pick 3 types of orange and yellow flowers. Any kind, if you stick with yellow and orange they are going to go together. Pick different sizes. (Here the sunflowers and orange mums are larger, the yellow roses are smaller) 1 stem of each. Then add a stem of something "pokey" i.e wheat, cattails, add a stem of silk leaves and I used ribbon to help fill in. Glue styrofoam into container. Cut the flowers apart leaving the stems as long as possible. Most stems have 5 flowers each. Start with your larger flowers and insert them in a round or cone shape. Try to separate them but if there are 2 of the same kind together that's ok. (Sunflowers in pic) Add all the orange and yellow flowers, then add the pokey flowers. Fill in with the leaves (I usually cut not only the individual stems but usually cut those stems in 1/2 too. They get poked into the arrangement so the stems can be shorter) and finally add ribbon.
