To make this simple boutonniere you need
Supplies and Tools
One silk rose bud
One silk rose leaf
Green floral tape
Black ribbon
12 gauge gold aluminum wire
Hot glue
Scissors / Glue gun /Needle nose pliers
First trim the stem to about 2 inches using the wire cutters or needle nose pliers.
Trim any extra leaves off leaving the largest leaf at the top of the stem.
So it looks like this.
Next wrap the stem of the leaf to the stem of the rose so rosebud sits against the widest part of the leaf.
Start wrapping under the rose head pulling lightly so the tape
stretches a little wrap down the steam and back up under the rose and
tear.
Next
wrap the stem with the ribbon start at the bottom glue and wrap over
the cut edge and up the stem. Cut the ribbon fold the cut under and
glue. Then glue the ribbon to stem.
To
make the music note use your fingers to form the head and stem of the
note. Start with the center of the head this will hold the note to the
rose.
At the top of the stem use a pair of needle nose pliers (tape the tip of the pliers to prevent them from leaving grooves in the soft wire) to make a small loop to start the flag. After you have made the first loop measure how much wire you need to finish the flag on the note and cut off the excess wire. At the end of the flag make another small loop with the pliers and shape the flag. You can use a template to help get the size and shape you like just shape the note over it and make sure you have a large loop in the middle of the note head.
Next bend the loop in the center of the note head so you can slide the rose stem into it. If the loop is to big just squeeze the loop until it stays where you want it.
And your done!
