Stormtrooper Boutonnieres

Kristy Lynn Creates a Star Wars-Inspired Garlands

— July 21, 2011 — Art & Design
Kristy Lynn makes having any formal event fun and geeky with her Stormtrooper boutonnières. These accessories can be worn at a wedding, prom or any ceremonial event that requires formal dress. Kristy Lynn even made a Stormtrooper boutonnière for her husband, and they entered their reception while the Imperial March was playing. 

Kristy Lynn posted a tutorial online showing people how to recreate this fantastic boutonnière. If you plan on making one of these on your own at home, you’ll only need four things. The materials include boutonnière pins, Star Wars plastic rings (purchased from any cake shop), flowers and a glue gun. If you have any rings left over from your project, you can get creative and even make a necklace or save it for any future projects.
