DIY Rhinestone Brooch Wedding Bouquet Overview-- Basics

[@9mler]

Brooch bouquets are a perfectly imperfect art. I'm so glad I discovered these and started making them. It's an awesome way to spend time and make extra cash. I will disagree slightly on the time it makes them. The type you made would take a while. But there are some brooch bouquets, specifically the "ball" shape ones with mixed brooches. The first one I made was a small hydrangea, mixed silver/black/gray brooches (appx 30-35 pins) I whipped it up in an hour or so and made $300

[@mariaflores1677]

No i dont think i have the patient for it i am looking for someone to make it! !lol looking on ebay

[@TheSparkleQueen]

maria ruiz haha at least you are able to admit it! I've read so many comments on forums on how people got part way and quit because it was so hard! Check out Etsy sellers too, they have a lot of pretty options!

[@mariaflores1677]

Oh k thanks well i dont know how u did it but i still searching something like yours thanks!!!

[@TheSparkleQueen]

maria ruiz Hmmm. I can keep my eyes open and let you know. If you'd like me to make you one I'd be happy to! If you go to the "about" section above, there is a link to my Etsy shop, and if you hit the "request custom item" button on the left, we can start chatting about what you'd like :)

Where did you get the lot sale from

[@TheSparkleQueen]

It was so long ago I can't get the listing off Ebay anymore, but I just did a quick search on Ebay and you can find similar lots. Depending on how much time you have, I'd set up a saved search on there so you don't miss any bargains. Happy hunting :D

[@gunittx08]

Where did you find the large dangle brooch in the front? I can't even pull anything remotely similar in a Google search!

[@TheSparkleQueen]

+Brittany Guentner That was actually a find in an ebay bid I won. If I recall it was a "lot" purchase that had tons of random rhinestone bits and pieces in it. I suspect it was from something like a chandelier, or some sort of decorative piece. It's too heavy to have been a clothing item, and not proportionate enough to be a necklace.

[@josietudor6866]

Have much do you usely charge for these. I'm soooooo going to get it from you!

[@TheSparkleQueen]

Hi Josie! It totally depends on sizes, but prices start at about $400 and up!

[@novelas4ever]

so the styrofoam ball is sturdy enough?? it helled up pretty well???

[@TheSparkleQueen]

Oh yes! It held up insanely well. Nothing moved or fell out. If I had to make again, I would absolutely go this route again.

[@cecilybarney2956]

I am a bride wanting to construct a bouqet can you do a step by step

[@TheSparkleQueen]

Cecily Barney Here is the new step by step: kzbin.info/www/bejne/eqqVmaGgpd6tjLc it was so big I had to split it into 4 videos, but they are all on the playlist!

[@cecilybarney2956]

Awesome

[@theellisfamily3894]

Can I buy one for my wedding

[@TheSparkleQueen]

Ericka Johnson of course! I've linked my Etsy shop in the link above - feel free to message me on there via the "request custom order" button and we'll get chatting about your custom bouquet!

[@tanyaenochs1319]

You did a great job on your bouquet.... But the tutorial did not give us much. How about a step by step in twinning a brorch and inserting it into the strafoam and showing how you secured it?????

[@TheSparkleQueen]

Tanya Enochs Agreed! The overview was not enough, thus the tutorial just uploaded here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/eqqVmaGgpd6tjLc hope that helps! :)

[@shinew7185]

Definitely a beautiful piece, you can see this brooch bouquet took a lot of time and effort to make. That being said, my taste is more simple and it would be too gawdy for me. Still very beautiful though, thanks for sharing how to DIY. :-)

[@TheSparkleQueen]

Aww, thank you! It certainly did! I'm glad you enjoyed it :)

[@mariaflores1677]

I am trying to find it but where is at lol omg

[@TheSparkleQueen]

Oh stupid email notifications didn't go off. Got this after your other message! Glad you found it!

[@crazicrazicrazi]

How did you attach them?

[@TheSparkleQueen]

Andrea K I just shared a detailed tutorial, and I think the video that is most helpful for you is this one: kzbin.info/www/bejne/a6Gvp5ykeKaEY80 essentially - I secured the stems through foam.

[@MLEbug]

If love to see a mini tutorial!

[@TheSparkleQueen]

I've uploaded a few more videos (they should be in the DIY playlist) that have more in depth details/instructions on different aspects of making this. Hope it helps :)

[@MLEbug]

Cool! Thanks!

[@elenaaitken1236]

The Sparkle Queen Do you have a video of how you made the stem/base? What did you do after you poked them through the ball?

[@TheSparkleQueen]

Elena Dirth I do! It's here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/eqqVmaGgpd6tjLc
