On Saturday I will be buying all fabrics and other materials necessary to complete the entourage flowers. Based on my proptotype, I think I will be needing a total of one yard per bridesmaid bouquet.

Things I learned:

    • so the petals are more solid; if they're more solid, they will occupy more space so you have to make less
    • they will "stand" and will look better
    • thin fabric is important so you can cut more at a time
  • The sew the flower together, I think I would actually prefer to use a glue gun to and stick it onto a felt base. They would be easi
