XP from DIY - Starting my Brooch Bouquet :)

christin228 · June 2011

I'm so excited, I just wanted to share... We went to a flea market in PA this past weekend, and I found the first few pieces for my brooch bouquet

They had soooo many of them, I had to stop myself.

Wow! Very pretty- but what do you mean brooch bouquet- you arent doing flowers?

wow- good luck! They are beautiful from pics that I have seen of others, but they can be pricey so I passed. Can't wait to see pictures of it done!

Yes, that's correct. I'll carry a bouquet made of brooches instead of flowers. Basically you take some craft wire and a few other floral supplies and add a "stem" to each brooch, then make a "bouquet" out of them just like you would a regular bouqet. Here's an example:
