DIY Basic Boutonniere | Super Simple!

[@jennifernoble2283]

Thank you for sharing! I am making boutonnieres and corsages for my Fall wedding. I had an idea on how to make them, but checked out a few videos to be sure it would work. A friend made some for her son's wedding with an alligator clip. I decided that was the safer way to go. Instead of a pin, I'm using a 1-1/2" alligator clip. This way, no one is pricked by the pin and it still hides well behind the boutonniere.

It's a good and simple idea. Install the safety pin together when putting up the twine so that it's easier to pin onto the dress. For those without glue gun, use super glue.

[@connieplant9909]

Wow you make it so easy. I was so worried I have 6 to make and it will be easy. Thank you so much. You have my thumb up👍🏻❤️

[@sarahmilano9274]

Girl I feel that. I have to make ten but this made me feel at ease

[@michellethao4781]

Thank you. That was so simple. Most video I watched so far was complicated and expensive

[@christinemylinh]

You're welcome!! I'm so happy you took the time to comment! 💕😊

[@mary-margaretharmon8902]

What could I use instead of twine to secure the pin to? I don’t want it to look rustic. Very helpful video!! Thank you!

[@bgurl143]

[@azraselimanovic4729]

So cute!!

[@songakim]

thank you for this! will they stay good for 24-48 hours? Planning to make for groomsmen and groom!

[@christinemylinh]

You're welcome! They are artificial flowers so they'll be good forever. 😊💕

[@donnapennie8126]

Great video. Gonna try it for a small function I'm having for the elderly. Will use a smaller safety pin or maybe a corsage pin

[@Boutstix]

I would LOVE to send you some BoutStix Floral Magnets for your next tutorial! :)

[@deemueller6470]

Weeee! I read the description but weddings aren't my thing. This was so simple, thank you for this great idea.

[@chapaneseboi21]

Tried this, unfortunately my wife and I can't seem to figure out how to make a safety pin stay because it moves around so much. Would it be possible to make a video about how you pin something with a safety pin? Never seen anyone do that successfully

[@samanthafowler1309]

Try using hot glue. To keep it in place.

[@mlmeza]

Thank you SO much for sharing this! I will be getting my supplies and attempting to re-create this. Wedding is 62 days away!!

[@bmiller112]

@ChristineMyLinh do you know exactly what the name of those green leaves are? I can’t find them on Michael’s website...

[@meg.4692]

this is so pretty!! im thinking of changing the blush color to a deep red for it to look nice with my red dress:)

[@elvazamora79]

These are perfect! Thank you!

[@MsTrix23]

Beautifully done. Is they dried baby's breathe or artificial. And where can I find these items please, especially the green leaves x

[@Kirasanban]

Thank you so much for doing this video!! I am using silk flowers from AFloral because that's what fits my budget but I felt so lost about how to put them together. Thanks to your video I'm finally going to start working on them. ps: my colors are also blush pink!

[@christinemylinh]

Yes! I am so glad!! Congratulations and happy new year to you! ❤

[@cordelia8473]

What is that greenery called?

[@wenlopez3142]

So is this made the day before or day of? Does it have to be kept in water?

[@sashilemla6229]

Good combo

[@libbystevens3752]

[@davidslinger420]

I found this really helpful. Thank you very much.!

[@christinemylinh]

Thank you for the comment! Happy new year!

[@josephgarcia9132]

Hi, what can I use instead of floral tape? Our town doesn’t sell them and I remembered the boutonnière at the last second. The ball is on Friday.

[@Ariel310791]

You can use beige thread or rope and tie it around!

[@denisebouba6305]

Love this project, great job and easy to follow too :)

[@christinemylinh]

Simply Dede Thank you!! I hope you have a wonderful day! 😘

[@missyemylee4228]

[@missyemylee4228]

It should be a good Mothers Day! Heading to the Zoo with my kiddos!

[@christinemylinh]

Aw! That sounds like a wonderful day! The sun has just come out here and I hope it is good weather for you too!

[@TheLizevaristo]

[@Veicy]

Hello sis.. thank u so much for the video.. its help me so much.. btw dou you know the type of the green leaves? I already search it online but i cant find the leaves.. please help me

[@Binu8767]

you call it 'dusty miller'

[@ALRNA247]

thank you for video.

[@chichichichino3069]

can you please make one with a wine cork?

[@christinemylinh]

Usiel ALCANTAR That's a good idea! I'll add that to my list and may do a full series of creative boutonnieres!! Thank you for your comment and for watching! I hope you have a wonderful day and weekend! 💕

[@crafthappycolourssmile8582]

Nice

[@sahilmunjal9578]

i want to buy this one can you pls share the details

[@maryspence427]

Can you do a corsage please

[@greciasantana9785]

how do you preserve these flowers overnight?

[@LifeDIYJosie]

Beautiful! Tfs

[@darckalish]

Can you do this procedure using easter lilies?

[@christinemylinh]

Darci Kalish Yes, you can but without the hot glue! You can use a floral adhesive if you need but floral tape should hold if you have enough stem. Also make the boutonniere as close to the event as possible no more than a day ahead and place in the refrigerator. I hope that helps! Thank you so much for you comment! 💕

[@darckalish]

I am using silk flowers. The easter lilies are white. Babies breath are white wouldn't they get lost with the lilies?

[@christinemylinh]

Darci Kalish Actually I don't think they'll get lost because they are two different shapes and textures. If you look at the diy ribbon wrist corsage video, I paired an off white with the baby's breath. Also the green leaves should help give it contrast as well!

[@Decorcrafts]

very nice :)

[@amandahong1756]

Hi did you use silk or fresh flowers?

[@christinemylinh]

Hi! These are silk flowers! Thank you so much for watching! ❤❤

[@rishguerrero]

How long would the flower last?

[@christinemylinh]

I used silk flowers (faux flowers) so they will last a long time. 😁

[@izabelaparecida9539]

Amei!

[@renata365]

Nice video my friend 🍃🌹🍃Have a nice day

[@queensffanah]

What are they for?

[@mysmalldesiress]

NYC dea

[@meaghanmurphy7070]

do you use real flowers?

[@angiehorror]

Do you know how the dried flowers last over time mixed in with the silk? I worry about them falling apart eventually..

[@christinemylinh]

Angie Deveaux I made my own boutonnieres for my wedding two years ago with the dried baby's breath and they have not changed one bit! I also think the type of dried flower makes a difference. Dried larger flowers with buds will definitely fall apart. I hope that helps, thank you for your question and for watching! 💕

[@ambyrcherrie4481]

Angie Deveaux put it in the freezer and it lasts a long time...I’ve had mine from a dance 6 years ago still great with a little browning on the edges is all:)

[@ivygracegerance4231]

What are the materials needed?

[@christinemylinh]

Hi! The material list is in the description, but you can definitely swap any of them out for your own silk/faux flower or dried flower choices. ☺️

[@enjoycambodia4051]

Nice video

[@janemariehoward]

To me twine is not formal. I would stick with floral tape.

[@kimstarrwise]

Silk flowers vs real flowers. VERY DIFFERENT. This is a not an accurate representation of a properly made boutonnière.
