So when I was xvi I started dating. I was asked to a formal trip the low-cal fantastic my junior year. Homecoming. It was the showtime fancy trip the low-cal fantastic I went to. My friend asked me at schoolhouse if I had bought my boutineer yet. I had no sentiment that I needed to larn a blossom for my date. I ordered 1 as well as gauge what!? It toll $20. I was shocked. I could accept made it easily. Worst part? The rose snapped off at the trip the low-cal fantastic anyway, as well as thus it was worthless. After that day, I made my ain funky flowers for my dates to wear.

It was simply perfect for the evening.

Here's a quick DIY as well as you lot tin accommodate it whatever means you lot want.

Let's larn started!
You volition need:

I took this crystal alternative as well as split upward it inward half.

Then re-twisted it together.

Next, cutting the blossom stalk as well as thus at that topographic point is solely 1 inch of stem.
Cut the wire alternative to fit the stem, as well as thus the rhinestones peek over the occur of the rose.

Then twine it tight, multiple times, alongside Washi tape!
So simple! I used silver, but you lot could fifty-fifty move patterned tape--or larn inward fit the girl's dress!
