Wrist Corsage

If you are teaching these designs to high school students, they will be all ears when it comes to this practical design. Finally, something they can wear and will most likely use at a school formal or prom. Students will have a blast adding their own personal touch to this wearable design; a wrist corsage.

Design

To create a corsage, first create a base to work off of. You can also use a metal base attached to a stretchy wrist band. For this design I used ribbon as my base. I proceed to make bows on the base of the corsage, gluing securely with floral glue. After I had a nice array of bright, contrasting ribbons, I blued down my foliage. I used to blooms of statice to add a touch of color. Once this is dry, it is time to glue your form flower. I used a white orchid. This particular design showcases a thick metal arm wrap, a fun new trend to try. Also keep in my glitter and rhinestones can be glued to the flowers!

Critique

This is very fun, bright design. The different textured offered in satin ribbon, the rough static, soft orchid and smooth metal creates an interesting appeal. I would love to see a high school gal wear this design for a senior prom with a bright dress to go along.
