Pearl & Brooch Bouquets
The Materials
The Process
1. Using about 10 spools of silver wiring and 200 pearl and glass beads, I created the majority of the bouquet (it looks small, but the beads are all smushed together)
2. I used the wire to create stems for the brooches in basically the same way as the beads; I wrapped two pieces of wire around the broohces wherever was the most discreet and wound them together and then wound together the two separate wires.
3. After all the elements were wired, I arranged them into a bouquet

4. I used clear packing tape to secure all of the wires together in the bouquet shape
5. I wrapped the stems with ribbon and taped the end at the top
6. I used the leftover ribbon to create a bow with a piece of ribbon to secure around the stems
7. I used Glue Dots to glue the bow and ribbon into place
