Sparkling Bouttoniers


Supplies used:
- down feathers
- pre-made crystal centre-piece flowers
- narrow white ribbon
- pearl-tipped bouttonier pins
- hot glue
- sparkle pipe cleaner

Steps
1. Dispensed a thin line of glue onto the stem of the feathers, then attached to the end of a pipe cleaner.
2. Trimmed the pipe cleaner down to size (about 3")
3. Cut apart the centre-piece flowers so there was one per bouttonier.
4. Wrapped the end of the pipe cleaner around the stem of the flower multiple times to secure.
5. Wrapped pipe cleaner flower stem with ribbon and secured with glue.
6. Inserted bouttonier pin vertically down through the back of the ribbon, through the stem.

Sparkly!
