Make a Rose Wrist Corsage

1. Rose Wrist Corsage Introduction: This is really fun to make a wrist crisage. I'll show you all the supplies that you're gonna need from ribbons and glues and, you know, what supplies you're gonna need. Floral adhesive glue is really great for making flowers stick to objects, especially natural objects like leaves and so on. I'll be showing you how to make a bow by hand that you can use on your wrist crisage. And really every step of the way it takes to create one of these. It's great to have this knowledge. So if you need to make one for prom or somebody for a dance or a wedding or as a gift for a holiday, um, once you learn how to do this, you'll be really empowered. It's just knowing how to do it and taking the time to do it and having the right supplies. So I think you'd have a lot of fun watching this. You can use any type of flour that you like. And it's really easy. Once it's done and dry, it just slides onto as from the wristlet. 2. Preparation & Bow 2: So this is a rose wristlet, nice for proms and weddings. The supplies you're gonna need is some ribbon. I like the double faced ribbon, adhesive glue. This is a floral adhesive glue. You can get it from Amazon or some supply stores. It comes in a tube, and it's a wet almost like a super glue. It holds flowers really well. We'll need some clippers, floral clippers, wire. You don't need these many wires, but that's just so you can tie your bow up. Some flowers, some filler flowers, and some greenery. I chose to use roses for this video, but you can use any kind of flower you want and glue them on. So we're gonna make a bow by hand. It's really pretty simple to do. The ribbon's nice, flexible. It's basically just making loops and holding tight in the center. And you can do about three to five loops on a side, depending really how big you want your bow to be. But it's always about twisting, making a loop and holding it. One hand is holding the bow together, and the other one is making the loops. This may take you a few times, but it's really not that difficult to do. H. So now that you're finished and you got all the loops you like, you just cut it off. And we'll have to grab a wire so we can attach it. What we do is we go through the center loop where your thumb is holding, go right in the center underneath the ribbon and come out the other side. It'll probably poke through your fingers where you can see it. That way you can grab it easily, pull up on the ribbon and then twist it to secure it. And it just makes it nice and tight and holds your bow for you. And now just move your loops around to fluff out your bow, make it nice and full. And that's it. That's all there is to it. 3. Design Corsage & Conclusion: So now we'll cut the roses from the stems that you want to use. Pick out the ones that you like. I like to do some open more open roses and some buds when I make a corsage, give it a little bit of texture and variety. You can save some of the foliage, too, if it looks good. It's nice to use the natural foliage that comes with a flower when you make corsages if you can. Oh. So this is a nice full open one. Some roses have damaged outer petals or guard petals, they call them. Just stick your finger within a petal down to the bottom of the flower and pull gently to remove any damaged petals. That way, it keeps it fresh and clean looking. The wristlet comes with these bendable sides that you can use, or you can take them off or fold them under. But it just slides down like that, so it's gonna be really easy to wear So on the sides, I like to bend these inwards. You can use it to clamp the flowers on. Instead of using glue, if you used, like, tape and wire, you could make a corsage and then attach it to a wristlet by using the clamps, but I like to do it this way and just have a nice solid base without the pokes poking out. That way, I can glue the leaves on nicely. So I'd like to have a paper towel and my glue. And I grab the pin box because I can secure the wristlet on there as I'm designing. And then it slide right off. It's like the size of a wrist, so I can get an idea of the size. So I like to grab a baggy so that I have protect my workspace and a place to lay down the glue so it doesn't stick to anything else. So now we're gonna get some glue and start getting the leaves ready to go on the bristlet. So I'm going to put the glue right on the wristlet so then I can stick the leaves on. The glue takes about good ten, 15 seconds to dry. So you have a little bit of time to grab your leaves and put them in place. But you're gonna have to allow it to set a little bit before you lift your hands just to make sure it stays and doesn't slide off. So now that it's dry, I want to show you that you can just slide it right off, see what it looks like on the back side. I like to keep clean mechanics when I design. Then we can just slide it back on and get ready to do the flowers. This is a pipe cleaner or chenille stem. I like to just roll it up, just to create a base to go on top of the leaves. I think that the roses will hold, you know, the glue holds a little bit better on a fuzzy surface on the chenille stem. And, you know, also the bow will adhere better to that than it will to just the greenery. So just wind it up, add some glue. And we just place it in the center. That way we can grab our bow and you just cut the wire down pretty close so that you can bend it back, and the bow can lay flat onto the pipe cleaner on top of the wristlet. So you add a little bit of glue to that and to the bow. So that it can, uh, adhere right to the top. So once that's dry, you can add your roses now. If you have too long of a stem, just cut away from it. I like to add the glue directly to the bottom of the rose. Then you can just spread the loops aside and press it down in. And, you know, hold it. You're probably gonna hold it, you know, five to 10 seconds so it doesn't fall before you start adding your other ones. We just continue to do that for each rose. I like to add a little glue to the baggy, too. That way starts to set a little bit, so I can just put it on the back of the rose and insert it instead of directly out of the tube. Sometimes I like to see if a rose is gonna look good before I put the glue on it in a certain area. And if I like it, I grab the glue and insert that one, as well. I like to use buds when I make corsages, as I said, adds a little more interest. So now it's time to add some greenery. This is a variegated piosporum. I like it because it has green with a touch of white on the leaves. And you just put it in different places throughout the corsage. I have some white wax flour or you could use baby's broth. And you cut off little florets of that, as well. When you're happy with it, let it dry. And then you can remove it from your pin box. See how it looks. And try it on. I hope you had fun watching this. You can experiment with different color flowers as well.
