Instructions
Materials need: depending on size, 50 to 300 buttons, floral wire, foam ball (cut in half), bouquet base(can be found at most craft stores in the wedding section), ribbon
Tools: hot glue gun, wire cutters, pliers
1.) Cut foam ball into 2 equal halves. I used a steak knife, be very careful doing it this way!
2.) Use hot glue to attach the flat half of the ball to the bouquet base, set aside.
3.)Cut floral wire to 6" to 8" length. Bend into a U shape and thread a small button onto the wire through two of the holes. Add 2 more buttons, each larger than the previous one.
4.)Hold buttons in one hand and use pliers to twist wire just until both wires are completely twisted together and snug against the buttons. Make sure not to twist too tight or the buttons will break.
5.)Stick each wired button flower into the foam. Continue making and adding button flowers until the whole thing is covered.
6.)Add feathers in between the buttons or ribbon or whatever else you would like!
7.)Finish bouquet base by wrapping ribbon around the plastic cone, hot glueing as you go.
8.)Enjoy!
