Gold Leafing a Boutonniere

  It was my first time to do a boutonniere and I thought I would try adding some gold leaf foil to a few roses and see how they turned out. They came out very nice, I thought.  Some Supplies used:    Add the adhesive where you want. You can put as much or little as you'd like.  I was going for a bit of a drip on one of them.  I played around adding some gold leaf foil to a few leaves.  It was a big rose and a rather heavy one at that, so I decided to just do the one and leave the other rose out. It would have been too bulky. Using some floral tape, floral wire and some hot glue I put the boutonniere together. For a soft more vintage look I added some vintage lace I had on hand and finished it off with some ribbon.   This boutonniere was a hit and it was a fun piece to do.  Thanks for popping in, Maddie
