How to Make a Corsage: Part Three

Video Transcript

"And then again, just kind of get all those wires all together twisted around each other. And now we are going to add some more tape, and wrap it around all this previously wired and taped stuff; the same twisting motion all the way to the bottom. Remember the wire wasn’t pre-wrapped, so make sure you get a good covering of tape on it. Some times little edges of wire will kind of poke out, so if you feel any parts that are poking, just keep on going over with the tape that spot, until it doesn’t feel quite so sharp; because you don’t want to end up stabbing your loved one you’re going to pin this on later. And then pull it tight and twist. Now, you can use your finger, or your needle nose pliers, to take all the medley of wire and tape here and begin coiling it around. I find it is easier just to do by hand at first, you end up getting to a really fine part where you wanted to get some really fine twists; you can move to that needle nose pliers. I will give just a few more little nudges, because all that wire in there really allows you to move it as you want to, as you see fit. There you are: you have a corsage, and this is how it would sit."
