Make your Valentine a bouquet

 

Get ready for a photo tutorial of the Valentines Bouquet you all loved. Get some valentine scrapbook paper, maybe some sheet music, some stripes if you want and you will need 18-20 gauge wire so you can glue both ends with hearts.  Cut out 40 hearts and 40 backs to those hearts. Place hearts on either end of 12″ wire stem put scrapbook paper and sheet music back to back and sandwich in the wire. Use a 2″ punch for best results! See supplies below, very easy project.

Picking up where we left off..
Okay so you have your hearts on wires now so fold the bunch in half,  close hand around gently..bend back the hearts and flip the music sheet to the back or whatever you like the sheet music can be on top( they are on wire so whatever you choose will be on the top…press them outward (that’s why we use wire 20 gauge) then when they are all out hold with a rather firm grip and spread them to make a bouquet, so they progressively go out. , wrap ribbon around the wire once you have determined your bouquet is where you like it..use hot glue and wrap  ribbon  around the stem to the top..seal with hot glue..then in the middle of the bouquet put hot glue and add a button or some other vintage castoff or an old jewel..and voila Give it to the one you love!!!! Please let me know how you did.

Hey Kate! We have an idea!… How about a Sis Boom Bouquet? Whaddya say? Encrusted with vintage charms, flowers, brooches, and more, this beauty will be sure to make a statement!!!

Jennifer started designing these charm laden show-stoppers wayyyyy back and they’ve remained a staple Sis Boom piece! Peep Jennifer’s bouquet in the June 2002 Country Living!

We wish the Royal couple-to-be a very happy forever!

See more Sis Boom bouquet photos over on our Flickr page!

Sweet, Bright & Simple

Seems like Bouquets are the Sis Boom way to say, I LOVE YOU, this Valentine’s day. There’s something so sweet about presenting a bouquet… like a wrapped up story of love represented by color, texture, and fun! The other important piece in this photo that screams out LOVE?!… The tiny angel & sheep painting by our lovely and amazing friend, Barbara Strawser… how precious?

If you’re into this sweet circle bouquet, this is one you can make at home in just a few minutes (see tutorial below)! Have FUN!

  • Download the PDF of circles (by clicking on either image below).
  • Print out the circles (we used photo paper to get a nice, glossy finish).
  • Cut out the circles (or punch ’em out, if you have one of those handy punches!!).
  • Using a thin wire, cut about 12 pieces all the same length (depending on how long you’d like your ‘stems’). Glue your circles back to back, with the piece of wire in between, and then tie all of your wire stems together with a special bow!
  • Perfecto!

  • Use letter stickers, if you have them around, to spell something special out in the ribbon!
