I spent about 10 minutes this afternoon trying to create something that looks remotely like a boutinniere. It didn't go so well. Obviously the colours are all wrong but it was the process I was testing out. I do not like the felt. I feel vintage lace flowers would be nicer. I don't like the leaves but was struggling for green fabrics and all my feathers are bright colours so I couldn't put those in. Vintage buttons I have my fair share of, however.
It took me ages to get the stem to look finished (wrapped in vintage navy lace). Underneath that is some floristy wire and tape I had in stock. I wrapped that with yarn to make it thicker then wrapped the lace over the top.
Back to the drawing board.
