I'm having the hardest time trying to make my own broach bouquet!! The YouTube video made it look so easy! LOL Embarassed Since we are paying for everything ourselves, I purchased the fake roses at Hobby Lobby when they were 50% off. They are those ones that look and feel real.. and I have my broaches. I don't know if they are just maybe too big? But I have doubled my wire when I put them in and try to 'wrap' them and it just never looks right. I have to keep my bouquet tight or the broaches fall ..but then my bouquet seems tiny! Any suggestions would be great.

    put your flowers together in the size of bouquet you want to hold.when you are satisfied with the size,  take a pipecleaner(chenille stem) and use that around the stems to hold them temporarily together. You will need about an 18 gauge wire to attach your brooches . after you get the wires attached to the brooches, hold the whole bouquet in your hand, remove the chenille stem and "poke" /"thread" the brooches into the bouquet. when you have them all inserted reuse your chenille stem to hold everything in place.

    the trick is to 1-assemble the bouquet first
                         2-use a thick enough wire to suport the brooches
