I finally have a picture of my finished bouquet to share! In the end I only used about half of the jewelry pieces I bought for this project – I haven’t counted but no more than 50 pieces, tops. One thing no one seems to mention about these bouquets is …
I’ve begun the tedious process of wiring up all my carefully collected bits of jewelry for my bouquet. Over the weekend I managed to finish about 30 of them and I’ve definitely got the hang of it now, but there are still 20-50 left to go, depending on which internet …
