Corsage and Buttonhole Set
A corsage and buttonhole set is a small bouquet of flowers, typically worn by women on their lapel or shirt. The corsage is usually made up of one or two types of flowers, with the buttonhole being a single flower or a small cluster. Corsages and buttonholes are often given as gifts to commemorate special occasions such as weddings, proms(school balls), birthdays, and anniversaries.
While corsages and buttonholes are typically worn by women, they can also be worn by men. For example, a man might wear a corsage to his wife’s birthday party or to their anniversary dinner.
Corsages and buttonholes are usually made up of fresh flowers, but they can also be made with silk or artificial flowers. Silk flowers are a good option for those who have allergies to pollen or who want to keep their corsage and buttonhole set for a longer period of time. Artificial flowers are also a good choice for those who want a corsage or buttonhole set that will last forever.
Corsages and buttonholes can be purchased from florists, supermarkets, or online retailers. They can also be made at home using fresh or silk flowers. To make a corsage or buttonhole set at home, you will need a few supplies including scissors, wire, tape, and ribbon. You will also need to choose the flowers you want to use. Once you have all of your supplies and flowers, you can follow the instructions below to create your own corsage or buttonhole set.
Instructions:
1. Start by cutting the stems of your chosen flowers so they are about 6 inches long.
2. Next, take one stem and wrap it around the wire to create a base for the corsage or buttonhole set. Make sure that the wire is wrapped tightly so that it will hold the flowers in place.
3. Once you have the base, start adding the other stems of flowers, wrapping them around the wire as you go. Make sure that the stems are spaced evenly so that the corsage or buttonhole set looks full and balanced.
4. When you have added all of the stems, use the tape to secure them in place.
5. Finally, cut a length of ribbon and tie it around the stems to finish off the corsage or buttonhole set. You can also add a bow if you like.
Now that you know how to make a corsage or buttonhole set, you can get creative and experiment with different types of flowers and ribbons. You can also make corsages and buttonholes for any occasion, not just special ones. So go ahead and show off your creativity!
