SteamPunk Inspired Boutonnieres - Cost Breakdown

What can I say? We love SteamPunk.  Even the mislabeled stuffs can be amusing.  To keep cost down, we are not going all out SteamPunking everything. Instead, using little hints here and there. With that said, let's continue.

Supplies
feathers- $3 from Hobby Lobby, used a 40% coupon making them $1.80, so 60 cents a piece
gears A- $3 from Hobby Lobby, bought on 50% off so $1.50, which is 13 cents each already owned
gears B- $5 from Hobby Lobby, used a 40% coupon making it $3, each gear being 25 cents already owned
gears C- $4 from Michaels, $1.25 each. No sale
cloth- Same from the bouquet
pin- $2 from Hobby Lobby, bought 50% off, $1 making them 2 cents each
buttons- mixed grab bags, lefts overs, scrapbooking already owned
waxed leather cording- $4 from Hobby Lobby, no discount
hot glue gun already owned
hot glue sticks already owned
E6000 glue already owned
beads- $2 from HobbyLobby, bought 50% off so $1 which makes each bead 8 cents

Custom boutonnieres priced by local florists ranged anywhere from $10-$45 each.

The leftover items will be used elsewhere. Please check back for the tutorial later.
