Easy Boutonnières
Make a simple boutonnière using a carnation, a leaf from a camellia bush, some floral tape and wire.
After taking a flower arranging class in college, my wife likes to whip up nice flower arrangements for friends, parties, weddings, and in this case today, funerals too.
A boutonnière is a spray of flowers worn in a buttonhole. For this project, you just need some small flowers, like carnations, and large solid leaves like something from a camellia bush or lemon tree.
Steps
Step #1:
Next
- Cut the stem off the flower with about an inch of room to spare.

- Gather a leaf or other decoration to add to the boutonnière.
