Here are some pictures of my semi brooch bouquet. I started out thinking I wanted the full brooch bouquet, but after getting started I think I like it with the brooches scattered throughout it and being able to see the flowers. What do you think?
I also think I need to make the stem part thicker before wrapping it in ribbon? Anyone else do this with theirs? How did you do it?

I was thinking I need to make it thicker too, I just don't know exactly how to do it. Maybe add pipe cleaners and then tape them all together?

Very Pretty! Great job :-)

ETA: I like that semi brooch bouquet look. Feels like you get the best from both worlds.

It looks great. To make the stem part thicker you can just wrap floral tape around and around until it builds up to the thickness you are looking for. They sell floral tape at the dollar tree.

Thank you for posting this! I was thinking of doing a semi bouquet as well. I love yours, but I am going to use a little bit more in mine. This is super cute though.
