How to Make a Last Minute Corsage
- 1). Choose a single flower for each corsage. Cut a length of wide satin or velvet ribbon about 18 inches long. Fold the ribbon in half and then mark the halfway point on the folded ribbon. Cut a small slit about 1/4-inch long on the halfway mark.
- 2). Cut the stem on the flower to no longer than 3 inches. Wrap the flower stem with floral tape to stabilize it. Insert the flower stem in the slit cut in the ribbon.
- 3). Turn the ribbon and flower over so the side of the ribbon with the stem sticking through is visible. Apply a small drop of hot glue to the ribbon near the slit. Press the flower stem into the hot glue. Hold it securely until the glue dries.
- 4). Turn the ribbon back over so the flower is on top. Adjust the ribbon until the flower is situated in the center. Wrap the ribbon around the wrist and tie the ends of the ribbon. Allow the lengths of ribbon to hang gently from the back of the wrist.
