Step 1 — Materials needed

1
Materials needed: * ribbons * elastic band * flowers * needle and thread (glue gun)
Step 2 — Make an elastic foundation
Make the foundation wristlet by positioning the elastic right in the middle of the ribbon and sew it with a
zig-zag stitch. When sewing pull the elastic slightly making tension. When finished back stitch it. I made
mine about 20 cm long. You can measure it before hand according to the size of your wrist. I advice you to
make it longer; you can adjust the length afterwards.
Step 3 — Elastic ready
You get this. After you measure it on your wrist, pin it and sew both ends together.
Step 4 — Make ribbon petals

Make petals with the ribbon.
Step 5 — Make a flower
Make several groups of petals and sew them together.

Add a contrasting ribbon. I chose white for my corsage and made it smaller than the purple one. Sew it on
top.
Step 7 — Add flowers (embelishment)
Step 4 — Make ribbon petals

Add flowers and attach them to the base. I sewed mine, but you can use a glue gun for this purpose. You may
also add beads, buttons, pieces of fabric... whatever suits your imagination! Attach the whole set to the
foundation wristlet by sewing it tightly and your wrist corsage is finished!
Step 8 — Your wristlet is done!
Enjoy!
