How To Make A Wrist Corsage

If you are planning to get married or preparing for a big social event like the prom you may want to know how to make a wrist corsage. A wrist corsage is an ornament that is worn around the wrist and features a flower. The flower can be a rose, lily, orchid or carnation depending on the event and your preferences. One advantage of the corsage is that it can be worn which means your hands are kept free for other things. You can choose real or silk flowers for a wrist corsage. The first step is to choose your flowers and gather your supplies.

For a simple rose corsage you will need two silk roses in the color of your choice. You will also want some filler material such as greenery or smaller bunches of flowers. Floral wire and tape is also required. The first step is to cut the roses and filler flowers to a short length and wrap the stems with floral tape. Then tape the two roses together using the floral tape. The filler flowers can be taped around or between the roses. The leaves are then taped to the sides of the arrangement. Then, you will want to add the wire.

Decorative wire lets the corsage flowers be hooked onto your wrist. You can cover the wire with ribbon or use it as is if your flowers cover it. In addition to making wrist corsages, you can buy them already made. Many of the fresh ones require refrigeration until they are ready to be worn. For events like prom, it is traditional for the gentleman to present a corsage to his date. For weddings, the corsage is becoming a popular alternative to the bridal bouquet.

Once you learn how to make a wrist corsage, you can experiment with other designs and other flowers. Some corsages feature a single blossom, especially if the blossom is large. Many women like to match their corsage to their dress. After the special event the corsage can be preserved for years to come. Real flowers can be dried or sprayed with fixative while silk flowers need no special treatment. Silk flowers these days are often just as beautiful as real ones. They last forever and can be handed down as an heirloom to future generations or stored as a keepsake.
