When browsing Pinterest a few months back I saw some really cool shotgun shell/bullet boutinneres for the guys! I decided I wanted to try and make them for my wedding. They sell them on etsy but they were expensive.
Luckily my fiance and I love to spend time at the range! Last time we went, he shot his brand new AR, so I just collected the casings afterwards to take home.
I washed them this morning. I have way more than I'll need for the boutinneres! So I have plenty to practice on! I tried several different methods of decorating--different combinations of twine and ribbon. I think I prefer the look of the all twine one, and I also like the one with ribbon and a little twine bow. I may end up doing a mix of several styles.
I just hot glued little pin things on the back. The only issue is that when I pinned it onto my shirt it kind of flops over with the flowers in there. Not sure if it's because my shirt is very thin, the flowers are too heavy or the pin wasn't glued on high enough 🤔 going to have to experiment some more with that!
