DIY boutonnieres?

We are gonna do those boutonnieres with the shotgun shells.

I'm using peacock feathers as their boutineers, because I have peacock feathers in centerpieces and bouquets.

Its totally fine doing your own boutonnieres, but just be warned that it is more time consuming than it may look.

Most boutonnieres cost $5-$10 each at a florist. While that seems steep, it really is worth it when you consider how long it takes to make one. It's awful when a boutonniere comes apart once a jacket is thrown on a chair or brushed up against something.

Pinterest and google image search.

we're doing something like these with more color

I did mine from sola flowers and skeleton leaves (saveoncrafts.com) and skeleton keys (Kennedy's Hardware-I think). I just googled some images.

Im just buying some babys breath at Sam's and hope for the best lol

I made the shotgun shell boutonnieres just tonight, but when I attached the pin, it won't stand up straight...it rolls to the side. Help?

I've used emptyshotgunshells.com Good selection and fast shipping.

I would check out Etsy before plunging in to making your own. I ordered mine from there for a steal! They were dried lavender and baby’s breath though. Even better that my husband swill last forever!


My friend is a floral design teacher at the high school and she said she couldn’t even buy the supplies to make them as cheap as the seller of Etsy.

I agree with the comments on checking out Etsy. I got a boutineer for my son for $12. I had purchased a real one from the florist for my fiance and it was $25.
