A few months ago I stumbled upon these darling burlap boutonnieres on greenweddingshoes.com and fell in love! Even better, the post I found included a tutorial! I immediately added this craft to my very long "Wedding DIY" project list and set out to purchase all of the materials.
These actually took much more work than I had anticipated, but I am obsessed with how they turned out and they were definitely worth it. Not only are they so incredibly adorable, but they are relatively inexpensive too!
You Will Need:
• Burlap
• Cereal box-weight cardboard
• Three kinds of buttons, one of each per boutonniere
• Two kinds of feathers
• Pin backs
• Natural jewelry cord
• Elmer’s Glue
• Hot glue gun
• 3/4″ wide ribbon
• Embroidery floss and big needle (optional)
• Sturdy bamboo skewers
• Cereal box-weight cardboard
• Three kinds of buttons, one of each per boutonniere
• Two kinds of feathers
• Pin backs
• Natural jewelry cord
• Elmer’s Glue
• Hot glue gun
• 3/4″ wide ribbon
• Embroidery floss and big needle (optional)
• Sturdy bamboo skewers
I made 15 boutonnieres in total for the groom, groomsmen, dads, grandpa's, ushers, and brother.
I wanted to make Matt's boutonniere extra special, so I added a golf tee {he is a big time golfer} to his!
They came out SO well! Your wedding planner is proud :) Can't wait to see these in pictures!
