I think I am being way to fussy - but ihave spent the afternoon taking apart 3 of my bridesmaid button bouquets as wasn't happy with their cheapy looking holders and the oasis going everywhere - but now can't seem to arrange them how i want!! Think I am going off the idea - once when I looked at them they seemed beautiful and sparkly - now i am beginning to look at them with hate! Which I don't want as i have spent hours and hours making them............. am trying now to arrange them together by wrapping the wires around each other to hold in plcae - but then we end up with a very bumpy looking stem. I am at the end of my tether!!

Could you wrap tape around thestems to hold them in place and then wrap ribbon round it to hide it and make it pretty? Also, the stem part is where they will hold them so they will be hidden really by their hands.

I bought some floral tape from Hobbycraft and it's BRILLIANT. It's quite thick so once you've wound it round the wire stems a few times, it pads out quite nicely and looks smooth. Plus because the outer is a bit sticky, it's easy to wrap ribbon around that to finish off the look.

But then took two of them apart today as dont really like the plastic holder - and tried without the flowers pic...

OH then had a go and made this one - but I think it looks to sparse and don't like that you can see the wires.... don't know what to do?! all the ones i see on internet look so lovely and well finished - I don't want to rush the ending as they look so pretty - just want them to be perfect.

Have you thought of using foam or polystyrene balls? I used polys eggs for something and they worked well you can push wire in and secure with a glue gun? Or not use wire at all
