How to Make a Succulent Boutonniere with Boutstix

How to make a juicy buttonhole with Boutstix

Wedding, prom, Mother's Day and formal season are upon us! Instead of spending too much money on an overpriced buttonhole, learn how to easily make one. These beautiful boutonniere are easy to make and perfect with Boutstix 's floral magnetic closure so they can be worn without getting caught on clothes or meat.

Boutstix sent me some packets of their flower magnets after I contacted them about their swimmer about their product! I tried one while helping a friend make a boutonniere for her daughter's formal prom. Is magic!

Buttonhole story:

In my first year of high school, I was invited to my first formal dance, Homecoming. Only at the last minute did my friend ask me if I had ever bought a grommet for this. I did not even know it was a trick! I ran into the store the day before prom and the only swag they had was $ 18. I was blown away! So expensive for something I knew I could do myself.

Another terrible story in the cap was my senior year, the Christmas formal. I bought a boutineer for my appointment and she wanted to put it on and SNAP! The whole head of the rose split in half and the buttonhole was destroyed. His mom helped me hang it with the closure so he could still wear it, but it was a real waste of money.

This was the LAST Boutineer I bought. Learn from me and create your own.

This delicious boutonniere tutorial shows you how to make one with artificial succulent tips. It can be easily adapted to real flowers, silk flowers, real succulents and more ...

I have other fun tutorials to follow!

Here is a video of the process:

Necessary accessories for a juicy buttonhole with Boutstix:

• juicy peaks
• Headband
• Boutstix flower magnet
• flower ribbon

Step 1: Group

Start by grouping any stem or collection of succulents or flowers so that all the stems are together.

Step 2 - Lock it!

Then wrap the bundled ends of the flowers or corn bulbs with the flower ribbon.

Flower tape looks similar to paper but has an adhesive that activates with a slight stretch. Gently pull the strap around the trunks.

In this way, it sticks together when rolled and adapts slightly to irregular shapes. However, it can get a little sticky, so go slow and work carefully.

Wrap until the package is secure.

Step 3Boutstix

Now place the long piece of Boutstix on the back of the wrapped package.

Then use the flower ribbon to completely wrap the bolt stick. Continue to wrap the strap around the shaft of the Boutstix.

Turn from the top of the bunch and go ahead and close the magnets too, they are strong enough to stay in place.

Then continue to the end of the bolt stick.

Leave the natural Boutstix lace alone for a perfectly finished buttonhole!

Step 4: Beautify

This is the fun part! Decorate the buttonhole as you like. I know most guys who wear it want to keep it pretty simple ... so I went with a simple snare. This way, the buttonhole can be perfectly combined with the dress!

You can also add rhinestones, buttons and more. They can be wrapped with succulents or later hot-glued. I usually wear more bodice around the wrist than buttonholes.

That's it!

Perfect buttonhole, right? Now you can prepare them for an entire wedding party! It's such a cheap way to add a touch of lapels to a formal party! With magnetic closure, they are easily attached to a suit jacket or shirt without damaging it.

Buy Boutstix from their website or possibly at your local flower shop .

If you use real flowers or succulents, store them sprayed with a spray bottle and refrigerate. They will last a few days.
