Boutonnieres with their own hands

Boutonnieres are now called small-sized bouquets that pin to clothes during the wedding. This obligatory attribute of the festival is attached to men on a jacket, and in women - to a dress, or as an ornament on the hair or as a bracelet on the wrist. According to the latest trends, wedding boutonniere remains an obligatory element of the groom's costume, combining with the bouquet of the bride. Despite the durability of artificial, miniature bouquets of fresh flowers look more effective. Usually they are ordered in floristic studios, but it is quite possible to make wedding boutonnieres with their own hands. And we'll tell you how.

How to make a buttonhole with your own hands: for the groom

For the buttonhole, you will need:

• rose flower;
• floristic wire;
• wire cutters, pruners;
• floristic scotch;
• artificial green twig and leaflets;
• pins with a pearl.

1. A rose for a buttonhole must be chosen fresh and placed on the eve of it in the water.
2. Before the pruning shears cut off her stem, leaving 3 cm. A few upper lobes can be removed if they are rumpled.
3. Insert a floral wire at the base of the rose. Drag it out and bend it in half. Cut the wire cutters with wire cutters, the length of each half of the wire in the rose should reach 10-12 cm - this will be the stem of the flower.
4. Then the wire should be wrapped with floral tape, without grabbing the leaves, but without leaving any cuts.
5. Now you need to add rose leaves - it can be artificial or real (hypsophila or other plants related to succulents). Add decorative elements, for example, a ribbon bow, tied with a base to the floral wire. The wire should be covered with floral tape.
6. Connect all the elements to make the product look harmonious.
7. Having wrapped the base with floristic tape, we get a refined groom's buttonhole with our own hands.
8. For the elegance of its stalk is better wrapped around a pencil or pen.
9. Regarding how to attach a buttonhole, we recommend using two pins, crossing them on the left lapel of the jacket.

Guest boutonnieres with their own hands: master class

An integral attribute is a boutonnier and a witness, as well as (albeit at will) from unmarried and unmarried guests. However, exclusive jewelry will be expensive in wedding salons. It's much cheaper to make boutonniere for guests with your own hands: you will have a wonderful result and a fun time spent.

So, for work you will need the following materials:

• piece of burlap;
• twine;
• cardboard;
• glue gun;
• three kinds of buttons;
• two kinds of feathers;
• thread with a large needle;
• tape 2 cm wide;
• bamboo skewers.

1. Draw a sheet of paper on the sheet of paper and cut it out - it will be a template.
2. With the help of the obtained cardboard template, cut out one piece of paper for each buttonhole with one hand from the sacking piece.
3. Apply to a cardboard sheet of glue and glue the workpiece from the sacking on top. Gently cut off excess sections of fabric and protruding threads.
4. After that, we cut out another template from cardboard, only larger size. And again we prepare the billets from the sacking, applying the second pattern.
5. Skewers must be cut into lengths of 9-10 cm. Using a glue gun, attach a skewer to the center of each sackcloth. This "stalk" must be wrapped with a string, previously applying glue.
6. We proceed to the execution of blanks from the bands of the buttonhole with our own hands. For each, we prepare a piece of tape 27-28 cm long with ends cut at an angle.
7. In the center of each piece of tape, you need to make stitches with a large needle and thread. We tie the pieces with cute bows.
8. Again we will deal with blanks from sacking. We glue to each layer from one kind of feathers, then from above - from the other.
9. Prepare for each butonniere on 3 buttons of different type.
10. We collect boutonniere: we glue a bow to each blank of sackcloth and feathers, then three buttons. Billets of a larger size from the burlap are glued to the back of each boutonniere.
