Final Product: What You Will Create

Preface:

Create Free Standing Lace boutonnières fit for the dashing groom & groomsmen.

Step 1:

Gather Supplies

You can find artificial flowers, florist tape, and accent springs for corsages at your local craft store. These instructions will walk you through the process of creating a boutonniere. You can customize your design by choosing unique florals, accents, and thread colors.

Step 2:

Stitch Out FSL Leaf

Hoop water-soluble stabilizer in a 5x7 hoop. Embroider FSL Leaf design onto stabilizer. Soak the final design in warm water until stabilizer dissolves.

Step 3:

Arrange Boutonniere

Slip the stem of the flower through an opening on the base of the leaf. Arrange greenery and pearls at sides and back of the flower. Twist the greenery wires around the base of the flower to hold your design in place. Use wire cutters to cut flower stem to size (2” - 2.5”).

Step 4:

Wrap with Florist Tape
Wrap florist tape around flower arrangement starting under the bloom and working down to the end of the stem. Wrap a few times making sure the stem is completely covered. Cut excess tape.

Step 5:

Finishing Touches
Leave your stem plain of wrap with twine for a rustic look.

Step 6:

Wear It
Pin to suit lapel with two silk pins.
