How to create a Bridal Succulent Boutonnieres:

- Cut your Seeded Eucalyptus into small bunches and carefully clean out the leaves with scissors or by hand.
Create your Succulent Boutonnieres:
- Take a succulent petal and insert the Hyacinth stick and wire. Use the floral tape to wrap the wire completely.
- Tuck a succulent petal (or however many you like) into a small bushel of Eucalyptus.
- Trim the stick and the stem to about two inches.
- Gently wrap the stick and the stem in floral tape until secure.
- Cut a small piece of burlap, dot with hot glue, and wrap the stem until covered.
