Things You'll Need:
- Odd number of flowers
- Baby's breath, grasses or ferns
- Stem wrap tape
- Wire cutters
- Hot glue gun
- Ribbons
- Long straight-pins with pearl heads
- Scissors
- Corsage bracelet
-
Step 1
Protect the stems of top-heavy blooms by supporting the stems with stem wrap. If they need extra support or more length, include your desired length of floral wire then wrap the stem.
-
Step 2
Gather just the flowers into the layout you like. Odd numbers of blooms are more aesthetically pleasing than even numbers and it makes the corsage look more full.
-
Step 3
Add accent flowers like baby's breath or other small blooms sparingly between the large flowers.
-
Step 4
Finish with leaves and other greens on and around the stems of the flowers. Add ribbons or lace if you'd like. Secure everything together with floral tape.
-
Step 5
Affix the corsage to the shoulder of the garment using the pearl headed straight-pins. If it is a wrist corsage, affix the arrangement to the corsage bracelet using wire.
-
Step 1
Cut the stems down to your desired length with wire cutters. If the flower comes with a bulky, thick stem, you can cut it off at the base of the flower and make a new one with stem wrap and floral wire.
-
Step 2
Lay out the silk flowers however you would like. Again, odd numbers of blooms look best.
-
Step 3
Use hot glue to secure filler flowers like baby's breath. If they come with wire stems, the stems can be wrapped around the stems of the larger flowers.
-
Step 4
Hot glue or wrap wire stems of leaves or other greens around the stems of the large flowers. Add ribbons or lace trim if you'd like.
-
Step 5
Affix the corsage to the shoulder of the garment using the pearl headed straight-pins. If it is a wrist corsage, affix the arrangement to the corsage bracelet using wire or hot glue.
