    Instructions

    Things You'll Need

    • Ribbons
    • Floral Tape
    • Flowers
    • Garden Shears
    • Greenery
    • Straight Pins
    • Paddle Wire
      • 1

        Select a few large, perfect blooms from your garden or flower vendor. Good choices are daffodils, roses, hyacinths, orchids or other equally attractive flowers. Cut and store them in a bucket of water until you're ready to begin making your corsage.

      • 2

        Select some fresh greens. Fern, asparagus fern, coprosma, juniper or other nice-looking greens are appropriate.

      • 3

        Hold one of the green cuttings and place a flower on the greens' leaf or stem, with the top of the bloom slightly lower than the top of the greens.

      • 4

        Twist floral tape around the greens and flower to hold them together in a bundle.

      • 5

        Wrap several short-stemmed flowers with floral wire to form an artificial stem: Pierce each calyx (the swollen base of the bud) with wire, thread the wire through the calyx so that the doubled pieces of wire are about 6 inches long, then twist the wire to form an artificial stem. Wrap the wire with floral tape, and twirl the ends of the covered wire into tendrils for a finished look.

      • 6

        Add more greens and flowers to the corsage, with each layer slightly overlapping the other.

      • 7

        Wrap the bundle of stems with floral tape when your corsage has the desired look (try not to make the corsage too large).

      • 8

        Tie a small ribbon into a bow around the base of your finished corsage.

      • 9

        Use a straight pin to fasten your corsage in place.

    Tips & Warnings

    • Use one large flower surrounded by smaller blooms such as baby's breath or forget-me-nots.

    • You can make your corsage a day in advance and store it in the refrigerator overnight.

    • Be careful when pinning on the corsage.
