Making Rose Boutonniere:
First, let me tell you that the delicacy of making a rose boutonniere and the treatment of the flower are the two main things that you need to focus on. The rest of the work is extremely easy and joyful.
Take the rose, remove the outer petals with a soft hand. These petals must be removed as they can spoil the look of your boutonniere.
Take a piece of floral thread and poke it through the top of the rose stem. In fact, if you look, you will realize that you are creating a wire stem for your rose. This wire stem will help you bend and adjust it.
Bend your wire like a stem to the length you need. It's good to leave it at about 4.5".
Wrap the floral tape around the wire. It takes a little practice, so don't worry if you find it difficult the first time, everything is alright. This is something everyone struggles with on their first try.
Now grab your filler flowers, leaves or gems. Why am I giving you these options? The choice varies from individual to individual. Some people like to have their pink boutonniere with green leaves; others add color to it with ribbons or with gems. Anyway, I'll let you in on the secret of how to use everything.
Take the ribbon and twist it. Tie the end together with the wire and bend the wire. Now wrap the tape around it and move on to the next item.
Now come arrange these things as you please.
You can experience variations by substituting one item for another before gluing them with your rose decoration.
Yeah! Now proceed to the last step, take the pen and curl the wire of your pink boutonniere.
Congratulations! You did it.
A few tips to make the perfect Rose Boutonniere:
There are few things that can help you enhance the look of your rose boutonniere. By taking care of these little things, you can definitely make a great match.
Make sure the rose you use is fresh. You can check this by touching its stem at the base if it starts to soften; your rose grows old, to change it!
The wire shank should have a maximum length of 4.5. You have to cut another wire. This is necessary to obtain a certain purity.
Before sticking the wire, you can conveniently wrap the tape around the ballpoint pen. Just stretch the tape a bit as you go along. It will stick to your wire.
Don't let the wire shaft of your match get bigger. It must look as thin as possible. Cut off all excess wires and unnecessary threads.
If you think you can use a single paste of all the fill items, do it. It will help you get a good and nice looking pink boutonniere.
Don't make your match much before you need it.
When you're done, take a cellophane bag and keep the match inside.
Place it in the refrigerator at an ideal temperature of 40 degrees.
You can also spray it with some products available at florists to maximize the life of your bout.
