I made this for a button craft swap. It was relatively easy to make and turned out so cute.

Select your buttons and thread the buttons (smallest to largest) onto the wire. Pull buttons towards the bend firmly.

Grip the ends of the wire (opposite the buttons) firmly with pliers. Then, holding the buttons firmly, twist. Keep twisting until the wire stem is stable enough to hold the buttons upright.
For this bouquet, I also made curly wire "leaf" stems from 18 gauge wire. To make the leaf stems, cut varying lengths of wire and bend into curly spirals

where can you buy gauge wire? a hardware store?

Gauge just refers to the size or thickness of the wire. The lower the number the thicker the wire. For instance 18g wire is thicker than 20g. The particular wire I used is an anti-tarnish silver coated copper wire made by Artistic Wire Ltd. I bought it from an online craft supplier sometime ago.(I don't remember which one.) But, really you could use whatever kind/gauge of wire you wanted. As long as it fits through the button holes, and is strong enough to hold up the buttons once twisted.

Thankyou for this! There's someone on etsy that sells these bouqets for weddings and they range from 30-75 bucks. So, I'm going to try this first!
