unfortunately, it looks like these would cost more than what the real flowers would cost....i just had to keep reminding myself that at least it won't wilt and can turn into an heirloom...
did some mock-up bouquet today and realized it isn't as easy as i thought it would be.....wiring is a challenge since not all brooches are the same...... i'll try again as soon as i have enough "colors" that i want for my bouquet....
that's another advantage if you have enough time to prepare...... you have enough buffer time to collect the materials you need to use for DIY projects...... i had to bid these vintage brooches on ebay and i only bid on certain colors and have to make sure i don't go over my bid budget.... the brooches would initially start at $.99 but never stays at $.99 and can go up to $30! ...... you also have to take into consideration the shipping fee.....shipping fee adds up specially if you're buying from ten different sellers or sellers who are too greedy and don't give you shipping discounts and they'll charge you shipping fee for each individual item when what they'll actually do is to put your items in one single package, what a rip off..... shipping is just $2-4 for a single package with 1-5 brooches, just an FYI....photo above shows my slowly growing collection of vintage enamel metal brooch .......some are signed and some unsigned..... some are clean, while some are not.....my favorite so far are the white enamel brooches and the milk glass ones..... i'm trying to collect peach brooches but that color is hard to come by.....
