DIRECTIONS:
- Use wire cutters to trim floral picks into smaller pieces.
- For the cuff corsage, add focal flowers first using a hot glue gun. Hold flower in place until glue dries.
- Add a couple of stems of smaller florals and greenery behind the focal flowers to hide any glue or imperfections.
- Add small florals that extend outward to add dimension to the corsage.
- For the boutonniere, paint one disc your preferred color with acrylic paint. Using a pen, hand letter your preferred pronouns on the painted disc. Glue the disc to a blank one below it, adding dimension and an outline.
- Begin bundling small stems of greens and filler flowers together. Add in 2-3 focal flowers, making sure to leave a spot to place the wooden disc.
- Use floral tape to secure the stems together. Bend stems to adjust if needed.
- Use hot glue to attach leather cord over the floral tape and wrap cord around stems to cover the tape.
- Use hot glue to attach the wooden disc within the bundle of floral stems.
- Attach pin back to the back side of the boutonniere using hot glue.
JOANN HACKS:
- Avoid using too much hot glue so it does not show. A very small amount is plenty.
