Silk Corsage Materials

Video Transcript

"The next step in making a corsage is to come up with the tools that you would need to make the corsage. The first thing you need to come up with is a wristlet. They come in different sizes, shapes, kinds and colors. This one happens to be one that is made out of pearl and elastic. Because we are doing something for a young girl, her arm is thinner so this would be able to tuck on her better. They also have them where there is velcro around the ends so that you could put them on the wrist or up on the arm as well. You are going to need wire cutters to cut the flowers themselves. You could either use this type here or a needle nose. You will also need to have some scissors so that you can cut the ribbon that you are going to put int he corsage and you are going to need to have a old toothbrush or something to take those glue strings off. The other thing you would need and is very important is the floral tape which is a tape that you can buy at any craft store and all it works is just giving it a little tug and it holds all your construction and your flowers together as you are working with it. So what you need to do is come up with these tools as well as a wristlet for your corsage and you are set and ready to go."
