Things You'll Need:
- Bunch of lemon leaves
- Scissors
- Floral wire
- Floral tape
- Flowers
- Floral polish
-
Step 1
Pull some lemon leaves from the bunch. Lemon leaves are larger in size than a lot of greenery, so use it only if your corsages are large or the flowers are on the bigger side.
-
Step 2
Poke a hole through the lemon leaves with wire. The length of wire should be between 6 and 10 inches. Poke the wire through the bottom of the leaf, leaving about a half inch of leaf between the hole and the bottom. If you want the leave to appear smaller, poke the hole at a higher point in the leaf.
-
Step 3
Twist the wire tightly at least two times to secure the leaf. The wire acts as a stem since lemon leaves have none.
-
Step 4
Wrap a small amount of floral tape around the top of the wire to secure the wire and preserve the shape pf the leaf.
-
Step 5
Spray the leaf with floral polish to make it look more lustrous and hold its shape. Floral polish helps prevent wilting also.
-
Step 6
Use only one to three lemon leaves for your corsage since they are larger than other greeneries. Use as a backdrop for the flowers in the corsage.
-
Step 7
Secure the wire of the lemon leaves and the stem of the flowers with floral tape. Embellish the corsage with ribbon.
