    I suspect it probably involves pliers and a pair of wire cutters too. You could so use green garden wire. You have to post a pic if you do one - it would be amazing!!!! I'm so tempted. Just showed the OH who laughed nervously though - he did his 'i cant tell if you're joking' face...

  • It's not that difficult! We're doing felt flowers (see other pics on same listing) but have done some buttons, Ive sewn them as we're not doing boquets, we're having wrist corsages for us and the flower girls, I think you would need to do them on wire to make into a boquet, nice buttons can be expensive, have a look in charity shops and ask freiends or relatives for odd buttons in your chosen colours to save money,
    Here's some we made;

    i love these!
    so much so that im going to try and make mines myself(ordering a bouquet that was more expensive than my dress isnt very mse)
    im having a black and white theme so have ordered some buttons off ebay.
    my h2b thinks they are cool also, even though he was adamant before that i should have real flowers.
    i just wont tell my mum that im not having real flowers!:p

    They're gorgeous, I can't have flowers as I'll be sneezing the whole time but all I could find are silk flowers and I don't think I want those. I think mine will be a mixture of martha stewarts silk flowers and the buttons
