How to Make a Corsage Using Ribbon

Corsages embellish your casual and formal outfits regardless of the occasion. They can be made with fresh and silk flowers, beaded embellishments and other assorted craft materials; but they can also be made with nothing but ribbons for a fun and flirty look.

Things You'll Need

Assorted silk ribbon rolls
Scissors
Craft adhesive
Elastic wristlet
Optional embellishments

Instructions

- 1
  Snip four lengths of thin-gauge silk ribbon. Layer the ribbons over top of one another with the ends flush. Tie the stack of ribbons into a simple bow.
- 2
  Snip a length of wide-gauge silk ribbon measuring 18 to 20 inches long. Tie this length of ribbon into a simple bow.
- 3
  Squirt a dab of craft glue onto the front, center knot of the large wide-gauge ribbon bow. Adhere the layered ribbon bow over the glued spot and hold it in place for one minute. This creates a double-tiered bow creation with lots of frilly tendrils.
- 4
  Adhere the backside of the large bow to the elastic wristlet, using a dab of craft adhesive. Let it dry for 40 minutes before wearing on your wrist.
