I am so overjoyed that I found your tutorial! You have made this finger numbing project soooo much easier!! I am making my very first bouquet for a friend, I don't think she has ANY idea how much work goes into this. I've been purchasing broochs for a year for her. Your video is THE MUST SEE for Brooch Bouquets!! You are the BEST HANDS DOWN!!!
+Sylvia Acosta Janecki Wow! Thanks so much Sylvia! I totally get the "finger numbing" part!! It was aweful! I'm sure you did an amazing job on your bouquet, and your friend has no idea how blessed she was to have you do it for her!!
I used your method this weekend an honestly this is a life saver! Using a drill to twist the wires is so GENIUS!!! i was able to not only put all my brooches on wires but i also did the little pearl accents on wires as well which would have taken me 3 months to do by hand and I was able to do it in 1 short hour!
Holy smokes, these 2 videos helped me out tremendously especially the twisting of the wire with the drill! Mine is a work in progress still, I decided on doing an all brooch bouquet. I am still collecting brooches at thrift stores and goodwills but I cant wait to have the finished product! Thanks for all your tips the best brooch bouquet tutorial by far on youtube!
Thank you so much for this! You have given the best tutorial so far. I've been asked to make 7 bridesmaid brooch bouquets and I've never done them before so I've been having a bit of anxiety trying to figure out where/how to begin. Your information and tips has given me the where and the how and the confidence to go along with it. Thanks again!
+Kamili W. Franklin Fantastic, Kamili! I hope everything worked out/is working out for you! Just have fun doing it! Play some music you love while your creating!
Hi, Judy, thank you for sharing the tips. I make and sell bouquets and flower arrangements besides my full time job, have always wanted to incorporate brooches into them. But all the wires twisting scares me away due to the pain in my joints. Your tips really help a lot.
Aloha Judy...I love love your Wedding Bouquet ideas...I have a niece who does Wedding bouquets and I hope you don't mind me giving her your Web sight...I know she will love to or even try too do some...I did one birthday bouquet for my sister for her 82nd birthday with Rose Money instead of hydrangea flowers...I know she will love it. Mahalo Judy for sharing, giving and blessing everyone your bouquet ideas. God bless you in all what you do. Aloha Linda.
Your tutorials are my favorite! Thank you so much for the tips!!! I'm so totally going to utilize them when I make my own bouquet! You're the best!!! ❤️
I love both of your videos! Just so happens I'm in the process of making bouquets & bouttonieres for my daughter & her BF & my son & his gf for prom. I have a big box of bling including a ton of Swarovski crystals left over from when my daughter was little & I used to decorate one piece bathing suits to use for baton outfits. She recently showed me a pic of a brooch bouquet so your video is perfect timing for me to learn. I have a piece of 1" wide rhinestone trim that makes great stem covering. Thanks for the tips!
Both these videos were SO helpful. I am making my own for my wedding. Have all the brooches but construction wise your tips are super. Thanks so much. 😊
I wish I would have found you 3 months ago, I just finished my daughters bouquet, I made for her 15era, but hers has hand stitched satin roses, yes I am a sadist! annyway, that trick with the drill and wire, pure genius! !!
Thank you Judy for your tips the are so helpful. ..who would have thought tape, would save the day. ..I will be starting my first bouquet soon. After watching a couple other videos I was not going to attemp this. Thanks again for your tips.
Hi Judy, This was a really great video. My brooches are secure at the bottom/stem part but not up top. How did you secure them up top so that they don't move?
This was wonderful!!! Thank you Soo much. I actually just ordered from fancy brooches my order should comeIn this week! I'm excited. Sending you love and blessings. My wedding is in 12 days sooooo I have a lot of work to do. Lol
Judy your tips are phenomenal! I'm not sure how many flowers to use in my bouquet. My wedding is in Spring and I want to use a synthetic Spring flower. Can you recommend one for me and how many I should use, keeping in mind sufficient space for my brooches?
+Lisa Hightower Sorry for the delay. If you haven't already finished...I love to use the hydrangea with about 20/25 brooches, depending on the size of the brooches! Good luck!
This is absolutely fantastic! I am thinking of making bouquets and centerpieces. I see them at weddings where I work all the time and thinking of this as a side job. I want to try out a couple to see if I'm any good at it, and a lot of the tutorials I have seen include armatures - which are at leas $30 each! Way too expensive, unless I'd be willing to jack up the price of the bouquet when someone could find it cheaper on Etsy :| how much would you say these cost to make, and how much did you sell those bouquets for?
Loved your video! I watched at least 8 videos before I stumbled upon yours, and I found this one to be the most helpful! May I ask how big in diameter the bouquet you made for your daughter was? It's so beautiful!
+Nicola Ball Fourty! That's fantastic! If you can fit them all into the bouquet, it will be stunning! I use approx. 25-30 for an average round bouquet!
Hi, can i have a tips if i want make my bouquet all brooches, without any flowers. Do you have any tips how to arrange that? Im trying to make one without flowers inside the bouquet and i find it hard to make it. Please help me if you have any tips and trick.. Thank you

How do you cut the handle to the length you want with that many wires? Great tutorial. I'm inspired!
Loved your video! I watched at least 8 videos before I stumbled upon yours, and I found this one to be the most helpful! May I ask how big in diameter the bouquet you made for your daughter was? It's so beautiful!
+Erin Millett Sorry for the delayed response! If you're still interested, it was approx. 9 inches in diameter.
Hi , how many brooches would a full brooch bouquet take? I have 40 at the minitue and still collecting so just wondered on an estimate to aim for xx
+Nicola Ball Fourty! That's fantastic! If you can fit them all into the bouquet, it will be stunning! I use approx. 25-30 for an average round bouquet!

katherine pw use feathers, or a styrofoam ball.
+katherine pw Like Amanda said, the best way to go is the styrofoam ball! It works great!
All wire I can find is 7" unless it's on the roll. Do you think on the roll is ok to use?
+Michalla Luck I only used the roll! You can choose whatever size you'd like!
Please tell me the site for the broaches. I can't find it. Thanks
