This is my favorite way to make a wrist corsage! I always found the ones with the elastic bands slide around the mum's wrists, and metal adapters were a nightmare to work with. - Навчання та стиль
Here I am the morning of Homecoming, and my son didn’t think he needed a corsage.🤦♀️ This vid is so clutch! LIFESAVER!! As soon as the clock turns 9:00am, I’m storming the doors of Michael’s to make this happen. Thank you!!!❤
You got this!
@@FlowerMoxie it turned out absolutely GORGEOUS! Thank you!♥️
Don't you just love children and their planning? My daughter voluntold me to make 6 courage for her and her friends. I have a week to make them. Wish me luck.
Cannot thank you enough for this. I had to make a corsage at the last minute as ALL the flower shops could not fulfill my order so I was panicking. I couldn't even get a slap wrist with adapter so I ended up making an adapter with...wait for it...shrinky dink sheets!! It actually worked...I was shocked. I just put slits on both sides for the ribbon and zip ties to secure the arrangement. Turned out so beautiful and I could NOT have done it without your guidance so thank you!!
So glad it helped!
You made it look so easy, so I'll give it a try. Thanks.😊
6 years later and your video especially the slap bracelet was a homecoming lifesaver!!! Great ideas!! ❤😊❤😊❤
We're so glad, even after all this time it could help you out! ❤️
The slap is genius. Thank-you.
Beautiful, I loved your video. You made it look so easy, you’ve been a BIG help.
Thank you for your kindness! I'm glad it helped! XO
Great happy video and oh, oh so gorgeous wrist corsage! Great idea to sell this kits online.
Very good tutorial! I looked at alT least 5. Before I found yours! No jabbering in and on. Just a great photo tutorial. Many thanks❤️❤️❤️😍😍😍
Thank you! Sometimes I def jabber on tho, so sorry in advance....lollll
This is my most structurally sound wrist corsage, but the one that is more fun to build is the brass wrist cuffs! XOXOX
Great idea!! Love it and I love your videos, very simple and clean! Keep up the good work! xoxo
I wouldn't have thought of using a slap bracelet.
I love your videos. So simple and yet so clear. Keep them coming.
Thank you, sweet lady!
Beautiful
I drunkenly said yes to make my nieces corsage and her dates boutonnieres.. this video gave me confidence lol
No matter why you said yes, you can do this!!
So beautiful 😍
Thank you so much!
Thank you for teaching us how to make, mine one son date for prom just changed her dress 3 days before prom ,now i no what i kin do about that part. Thank u very much.
Oh no!!!! She would get neutral, then! LOL
Very informative and made me laugh several times. 😊
Oh my gosh, is that a Cavalier in your photo?!!?! I have one named Smithers, so it's a solid fact that you are a deeply good person with a raucous, unafraid laugh and sense of humor. Thank you for the kind comments and positivity you put out into the world! XOXO
Thank you!!
NICE one
Where can order the slap and adapter
How wide (in inches) is the ribbon that you use to cover the slap bracelet?
I use 1 1/2'' ribbon!
SO helpful! How early do you recommend making the corsages before the wedding? Does using hot glue make a difference in longevity?
As a florist, I prefer to make them the day-of, but I have made them the day before, as well. I mainly put the hot glue on the ribbon or tape, let it cool, then insert my bloom. I have made them with a low-temp hot glue gun, hot floral glue, and normal floral glue and have found the results to be generally the same across the board. I prefer a glue gun because it sets up faster and is less messy. Typically, floral glue is very runny and sometimes hard to control.

That tattoo is sooo classy!!
If made a day before, where do you store the corsages? I know a regular fridge is not an option. This is a great video, I am loving all of your tutorials!
You can totally store them in your fridge! Just pop them in some Tupperware, with a damp paper towel at the bottom. They will be lovely the next day. =)
@@FlowerMoxie After watching a few more of your videos I see you talk about the fridge :) Thank you very much for all your help. This has been a terrific resource.
You probably shouldn't use hot glue for fresh flowers, they might get burnt and brown. There's a special floral glue for that
As a florist for 9 years, I've used the hot floral adhesive, the regular room temp glue, and the low heat hot glue gun, and for me, I've found the gun to be the best. I think professional adhesive is like working with honey and doesn't set up well. I tend to make mine the day of or the day before and haven't had them brown on me....or fall off when the MOB dances her little heart out. =)
Agata Sałata thank u for sharing. but after making them. do you put the corsages in the fridge?
We always use glue gun when making wrist corsages and they are gorgeous and fresh. Make the day before and keep in flower fridge.

@@amymccord6480 Sounds like something my aunt would do and she's definitely getting a corsage. Lol
Très beau
Amazing vedio.. i love it
I want to know that the material use to put the slap belt into?
I love double-faced satin ribbon!
Beautiful diy
Thank you for such a kind comment! XO
Hi, just wanted to if it's alright the flower girl can have a wristcorsage and her basket. Traditionally it's either one I suppose
It's totally up to you! Most of the time, for flower girls, I do floral crowns, but a wrist corsage would be lovely, too!
Would she want a wrist corsage?
How long do they last? Can you make them the night before the wedding or should you do it day of?
You can make them 3 days in advance if you keep them in a Hydration Chamber. This essentially is tubberware lined with a damp paper towel, then layer a damp paper towel over the top of the flowers, pop the lid on, and store in the refrigerator until the day of the event! It hydrates the flowers from the inside out!
Hello,
Just wondering if you are using fresh or artificial flowers?
Thanks :)
I use fresh flowers, but it works for both! =)
Can I use regular hot glue? Or will it damage the natural flowers?
I prefer to use a low-temp hot glue gun. I like to put the glue on the ribbon, the zip tie, or a flat leaf and let it cool before inserting a bloom. I have done it with profesh floral glue and the method I mentioned above and found the results are the same regarding how long the blooms hold up. I find floral glue to be really runny and it takes a good while for it to set up. The only issue with hot glue is you want to be careful not to burn your fingers.
Can we do this with fresh flowers ? And where do you find the slap wristbands
Absolutely, this video used fresh flowers!

It was a game changer when I learned about these and tiny zip ties! It holds up all night! XO

I learned my uni is having a dance in 2 hours, and I’m taking my partner. Fingers crossed 😬
do you know of anywhere I could get the plastic adapter from. like a craft store? bc I waited too long now I don't have time to order your kit online :(
I sure don't, they are tough to find. If you order today, I can ship today, it will take about 2-3 days. That still too late?
@@amymccord6480 Hey Amy! I love this video! Is there anyway you may be restocking the kit? I am scouring the internet and only coming up with those itchy elastic versions. Thank you so much!
@@aryzonahuwa-schweitzer6871 We're still not selling supplies because we're overloaded with floral orders, but I found theme on Amazon: www.amazon.com/Lomey-Shimmer-Wrap-Corsage-Bracelet/dp/B00FKZ1XJC/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1548771383&sr=8-1&keywords=slap+corsage
@@amymccord6480 Thank you so much!
Does it last on a VERY HOT weather location? Like the Caribbean?
I would say a Cymbidium Orchid would do well, also mini carnations, cushion flower or button poms, and spray roses with greenery should treat you right! XOXOX
Where can I find the clear plastic piece to hook it all to today?
The adaptor comes with the slaps and we sell it here:

Hi,
Are those fresh flowers?
Thanks 👍🙏🏽💕
Yup!
What kind of ribbon do you use?
For the wrist I used 1.25'' silk ribbon, for the center of the corsage I used a 1/4'' silk ribbon.
do you have to make this day of since there's no way to store in water? Thanks!
You can make this 1-2 days before the wedding! You'll want to keep the corsage in a hydration chamber. Take a tupperware container and place a damp paper towel in the bottom of the container. The place your finished corsages in the container, put the lid on and pop it in the fridge! Your corsages will stay fresh until the big day!
Thank you!! @@FlowerMoxie
The link for corsage kit doesn't work anymore because it doesn't show the actual product with error message showing. Is there an alternative link?
Sorry about that! We just opened a Supply Store: diyflowersupply.com/collections/floral-supplies/products/slap-wrist-corsage-bracelet-3-wristlets
@@FlowerMoxie thanks! i will try using the link for future purchases, your tutorial was super helpful for some home projects! thanks for posting this content!
How much did this cost to make with the materials?
The main expense is the slap corsage bracelet. When it comes to corsages, bouts, and floral crowns you're really just using the little scraps of greens and buds you have leftover. Does that make sense?
Wow😮😊
Did you tighten the first zip tie?
Yep. 💗
Cute happy dance
Ha, thank you!!!!
Where can I find the hangs?
The plastic tab that you'll adhere the flowers to typically comes with the wristlet. You can then decide whether you want the flowers to hang vertically or horizontally on the wrist!
Does anyone else have issues with hot glue not holding what you stick to it? I feel like after the glue hardens, whatever I'm trying to hold in place... falls off ☹️
I find that hot glue can pop off of metal easily, so when I use brass cuffs I'll blue a piece of fabric down so the flowers aren't directly on the metal. Maybe try using less hot glue and layering it from different sides?
Floral glue being out of stock since the pandy has for sure made things tough.
Did you use real flower or plastic flowers??
All fresh flowers!
Bellissimi fiori però avrei lasciato il bianco candido del bracciale però sono gusti 😊👍
I heard the hot glue doesn’t pair well with the flowers, is this true?
Hot glue will work fine as long as it's at a low temperature. Super hot and it can burn your blooms!
How much was the cost to make?
Corsages, bouts, and crowns cost minimal in the floral product. There's probably a few dollars worth of flowers because often you use the scraps and broken items. The slap is a few bucks, and then there's the cost of the tiny zip ties and glue. Overall, what you're paying for when you hire a florist is the labor more than the material!
Is that just regular hot glue?
Sho'nuff! I like low temp guns, and I let it cool on the ribbon for a second before applying the greenery or flower. You can use hot floral glue or standard floral adhesive, but it's not my preference for corsages. XO ~Amy
@@amymccord6480 where can I buy a low temp glue gun and also can you make a tutorial on the bespoke garden style bouquets that are popular right now...not the round ones or the cascades but the garden style ones that are not flat...I love your work!
@@johannameade7326 Hobby Lobby! Just a get a small one!
Making this for prom
Love it! You'll do great!
Such a relief to see good taste.... most corsages look so kitschy 🙄
Beautiful work. But I think not a good idea to use hot melt glue for fresh flowers.
I never used hot melt glue for fresh flowers. I normally use floral adhesive.
Thank you! We encourage folks to use the glue they love best! For wrist corsages, we prefer a low-temp hot glue gun, giving it time to cool and set-up before inserting blooms. It was a trick a learned from Amy Osaba and I've been doing it for years with much success.
Are this real flowers?
Yes, I used all fresh greens and blooms in this video. You can use dried or silk with the same method, however.
Cue but feel weird gluing real flowers
Yep, but you gotta as a florist! You can use floral glue if that makes you feel better. I find either method works the same. XO
Never use hot glue
Did you not live through Oasis Glue famine during the pandy?! Hot glue isn't my favorite, but I can contest it does work in a pinch or for newbies.
Omg thank you, is ridiculous that they want to charge $34 for 2 roses at the flower shop 🤨
They can sometimes be time consuming, so we do get why florists need to charge what they need to, but with practice you can definitely do it yourself! They're also really fun to make too! 😊
Yes, it looks quick & easy. For something immediate or in a pinch, this works. I personally like the small zip tie idea for certain applications. That's the ONLY thing that's a take away for me on this video.
However, if you don't correctly WIRE & then tape roses for a boutonniere, there's no stability to the flowers & they will easily snap off with any mishandling. Guys are generally not known for being careful with their boutonnieres. And the arrangement doesn't look so great when the flowers are missing.
And then, HOT glue on fresh flowers? I CRINGED when I saw this. That burns & damages the flowers. Poor babies. The only glue for fresh flowers is floral glue that florists use.
Correct methods take longer (I know because I've literally made thousands of boutonnieres & corsages), but the results will have better lasting power & performance.
We recommend using a low temperature hot glue, so flowers and foliage don't get burned by high temps. We have a longer and more in depth video where we touch on this. We also love floral glue and recommend that whenever it's available! There are so many methods of making boutonnieres and corsages and everyone has a specific and different way of doing them! We try tot be open to lots of different techniques, there's always so much to learn!
I appreciate the fact that this vid was so simple and to the point. 🙌 Makes me feel like I can actually pull off making something that’ll come through in a last minute bind!! 😅🫣
Recommendations to make it “correctly” or “perfect” would have just overwhelmed me with daunting industry jargon and expensive supplies and extra steps. Simple and straightforward, with as little steps possible, gives me the courage to go ahead and try to make one! Thank you!
