    Step 1:

    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”).
