  1. Step 1

    Choose your Wristlet

    When making an easy corsage you will first need to choose the wristlet you are going to use. For an easy corsage you will have a wide range of styles from simple elastic wristlets to more elaborate ones with rhinestones and pearls. Each wristlet for your easy wrist corsage will come with a plastic prong that is attached to the wristlet. This prong is used to help keep the flowers and bows attached to the wristlet.

You will press the flowers in place around the bow and greenery. Add the flowers until you are pleased with the look of your easy wrist corsage.

    Adding Decorations

    Now that you have all your flowers in place on your easy wrist corsage you will now be adding the decorations. Here you can glue rhinestones, pearls or other items such as glitter to your flowers and the bow. Do this by using the floral adhesive.

  5. Step 5

    Preserving your Easy Wrist Corsage

    To preserve your easy wrist corsage you will mist it with a finishing spray that can be found in any floral store or craft store. Then place the easy wrist corsage gently into a plastic bag. You can use sandwich bags or larger similar bags depending on the size of your easy wrist corsage. Keep your easy wrist corsages in the front of the refrigerator. Do not store them in the back as refrigerators tend to be coldest there and that could damage your flowers.

Tips & Warnings
  • • Never use hot glue or cold glue melt as they may damage your flowers and also separate during refrigeration.
