Adding Flowers to Silk Corsages

Video Transcript

"Okay the next thing you need to do when you're designing your corsage is think about the fact that it’s viewed from two angles. One is from hanging it down the other one is upward. So what you start to do is literally build a bundle of flowers. You'll take the pieces that you've already had wired taped together and start designing them to hang and fall the way you would like to see them fall. You try to keep it not too bulky because you don't want it to be this massive piece when it’s finished so try to keep it as thin as you possibly can. One or two swipes around it would be great. I happen to have chosen this silk flower that comes with pearl in it because we have the pearl on the wristlet that we're going to be using. You keep a small amount of space here because you don't want it to be too big so a good way of doing that is just taking and doing it very simple and very quickly. Then that would be what's going to head towards the bottom which is why we have the longer pieces on it. And you do the same thing for the top. So when you're finished what you'll do is you'll have a bundle that'll go to the bottom and one will go to the top of your corsage. And that's what you need to work on next is your two bundles for the corsage to be put together."
