Tips
What do you need

1 Choose a color. Choose colors that suit each other.

You can choose colors that suit your dress or your partner's suit.
If you want to make a wrist corsage for a school ball, you can use your school colors.
You can match the bodice colors from the color wheel. Choose colors that are opposite to each other, for example, yellow and lilac, blue and orange.

2 Choose a flower. Buy (or pick from your garden) flowers that are almost completely bloomed and keep them in water until you have made the corsage. Depending on the size of the flowers, choose from 3 to 5 flowers. Try to choose flowers that can withstand wearing so that they look beautiful by the end of the evening. Here are some colors you can choose from:

Roses
Chamomile
Orchids
Lilies
Cymbidium

3 Choose an additional flower. This flower should accentuate the main flower. It should fill the bodice and accentuate its color. Here are some flowers you can choose from:

Gypsophila
Fern leaves
Eucalyptus

4 Choose a wrist band. Flowers are the most important thing, but the way you tie the corset to your arm can change the whole picture. Here are some ideas:

Buy a corsage bracelet.
Make a ribbon and lace headband.
Use any band that fits well on your wrist.

5 Add some knick-knacks if you like. This can make your bodice stand out and give it character. Use:

Lead for bracelets
Pearl
Lace

6 Cut the flower stems short. The length of the stems under the petals should be 1.3-2.5 cm.

Use scissors or wire cutters to cut off the stems.
For flowers with a small stem, add some wire.

7 Tie up the flower stalks with flower wire and duct tape. This will make it easier for you to place the flowers in the desired position.

Start at the top of the stem and work your way to the bottom. Spiral the tape.
Make two circles with floral tape to cover the stems completely.

8 Assemble the base of the wristband.

Tape the main flowers to create a small bouquet. Use tape in a spiral pattern.
Make a separate bouquet of complementary flowers with floral tape too. Glue the tape diagonally.
Tie both bouquets together with flower wire.
Attach any other decorations using flower wire.

9 Place the bandage between the two bouquets. Tie the headband to the flowers using flower wire.

Flowers should look towards the elbow.

10 Make a ribbon bow. It is best to use several pieces of thin tape or wide tape.

The easiest way to make a bow is to make six loops around your wrist and cut the end off at an angle.
Remove the ribbon from your hand and, keeping the loops straight, tie another piece of ribbon around the center with the loop.
Start at the inner loop, pull it out and turn the tape to the left.
Take out the next loop and turn the tape to the right. Continue removing the hinges and wrapping the tape, alternately changing sides, until you are finished with all the hinges.
Hold the ends of the bow and shake it to inflate.

11 Attach a bow to the headband and flowers. To do this, use flower wire.

Make sure the bandage fits well on your arm without falling off or blocking your blood circulation.
Make any necessary changes.

Method 2 of 2: Modern bodice

1 Cut a piece of corduroy tape long enough to wrap around your wrist. The ends should hang down 8-10 cm.
- Match the color of the ribbon to the dress and flowers.
2 Fold the tape in half. Make a small hole in the middle for the stem of the flower.
3 Choose a large, healthy flower. The flower should stand on its own.
- The correct flower sizes are Lilies, Sunflowers, Gerberas, Hydrangeas, etc.
4 Cut off the stem. Leave about 6.35 cm. Wrap the stem with floral tape to protect it and prevent it from falling out of the hole.
5 Pass the flower through the hole in the ribbon.
- Use floral glue to keep the flower from moving.

Tips

If you are using real flowers, do not wear the bodice too early or it will wither. It is better to make the bodice 1-2 days before the event and store it in a cool place, for example, in the refrigerator, to keep it fresh longer.
For a brighter look, decorate the bodice with bright ribbons, sparkles, etc. You can also sprinkle the flower with sparkles. Be creative!
You can use silk flowers instead of real flowers.
