How to Make a Baby Corsage With Tulle

A corsage made out of tulle will keep its shape well.

A baby corsage is just like one for an adult, only smaller and made from baby-safe materials. Flower corsages are easily crushed by curious baby hands, but tulle holds up well to the wear and tear. Keep the corsage simple, without any small parts that can break off and be swallowed. A basic flower made out of tulle will keep its shape -- even if the baby can't keep her hands off it.

Things You'll Need

• 1 yard of tulle
• Scissors
• Sewing needle
• Thread to match tulle
• Cardboard
• Pencil
• Diaper pin

Instructions

1. Draw a 2-inch-diameter circle on a piece of cardboard, and cut it out with scissors. You can use a compass or trace something round that is the right size. This is your template.

2. Trace the template on the tulle 12 times, and cut out the circles.

3. Thread the needle with 1 foot of thread, and tie a knot in the end. Fold a circle in half twice, so you have a piece the shape of a slice of pizza, and pull the needle and thread through the pointed end.

4. Fold the rest of the circles, and attach them to the first, by running the needle and thread through the tips of each of them.

5. Pull the thread tight, and make a knot. You should have a puffy circle of tulle.

6. Attach the tulle flower to the baby's jacket or dress with a diaper pin in the center. The diaper pin adds a whimsical decorative element but also secures the corsage safely. The baby won't be able to open it.
