There is no method to my madness. I am just doing things as the materials come into my hands, or the idea hits me. I loved the seashell boutonnieres on Etsy. I made this one myself for about $8 and have enough left over for 2 more! I originally did the silver seashells and turquoise tulle to wrap the stem, but the more I looked at them the more I felt they were too much. These are the new finished and final product. I used starfish, raffia, tulle, vintage lace, and canvas. Total cost for all three was still less than $10 total.----
I ended up redoing these and removed the leaf. They looked much better and the guys loved them.
