DIY Project – Starfish Boutonnieres

October 30th. 2008 by Abby Larson | Filed Under | 12 comments

These starfish boutonnieres are perfect for a beachside wedding. I get so many emails from readers looking for an alternative to flower boutonnieres. Voila!

DIY

Materials

one inch bar pins
small starfish
strong glue

Instructions

These starfish boutonnieres were created with small starfish and one inch bar pins that were glued together.  I used small starfish that my fiancés mom found at a yard sale. 

1. I applied glue to both ends of the bar pins and applied glue to the back of the starfish where the bar pins were attached. 

2. Then attach the bar pins to the starfish and lightly pressed them together.  Let them dry completely with the bar pin side up.   

{Use cement glue that I found at a hardware store, though any strong glue would work and the one inch bar pins were found at Michaels.  The small starfish can be found online too. Oh, and I found the inspiration for these right here! Gotta give credit where credit is due!}

    Greetings from Panama. My groom men are teenagers and they don`t want to wear a flower boutonniere (very machos...lol). My girlfriend and I are planning a beach wedding and this is an excellent option. They will be wearing white linen guayaberas and khaki pants and I`m going to wear a linen tan suit with a turquoise tie. Muchas gracias!!

  7. Hows Your Weekend was just surfing through the social bookmark sites looking for some new interesting blog posts when i discovered this post on an other blog. I had to write you a post to show you that I actually liked this post. I can not come across very much good quality anymore on the world-wide-web nowadays with all the spam these days so any time I do find a beneficial blog post I enjoy it. Keep up the wonderful work and I am positive this blog site is going to go a long ways and become quite popular

  8. Definitely imagine that that you stated. Your favorite reason seemed to be at the net the simplest thing to take note of. I say to you, I definitely get irked while other people consider worries that they just do not recognise about. You managed to hit the nail upon the highest and defined out the entire thing without having side-effects , other people could take a signal. Will likely be again to get more. Thank you
