button bouquet

Have a look at my tutorial https://www.3djewellery.co.uk/instructions-on-how-to-make-a-button-bouquet.html I have had some good feedback on how well it works and I made the ones here with it https://www.3djewellery.co.uk/button-and-brooch-bouquets.html

Thanks for the link. I like the sieve idea... how many button stems are we talking to make a decent size bouquet?

I never counted them but maybe 50 large plus the small gap filler ones

Here's a tip from the actual designer of that bouquet (my Lollipop Love Bouquet), I don't use bouquet holders ?

Being totally honest, I am not an advocate of bouquet holders or sieves, and not sure they would able to hold that many stems securely (my bouquet has over 100 stems) but you don't know until you try.

But as it's for yourself (i.e. not selling) then it wouldn't matter so much if stems were a little wobbly.

I used 3d jewellery's method mostly- i only found it once i had started, it worked brilliantly, i lost count of buttons but had over 200 stems! I am not a crafty person so i needed a base else i would have thrown it out of the window. I bought 2 packs of buttons off ebay as 'fillers' i would definitely recommend that, the rest are special to me in some way.
