As a Mayesh Design Star I had the opportunity to share with you all some of the tips and tricks I have for being as simple and sustainable as possible. In this video from the Mayesh Design Star Series, I show how to use unpainted wire (I call it naked) and organic non chemically treated dried moss to support flowers and foliage into creating a wearable boutonniere.

Take a look at the video here via the Mayesh website.
