How to...Make
a Corsage and Boutonniere
by Kristin Chulick and Kylie Gifford
Corsage:
1. The supplies- fern to sprigs,
2 flower blooms, 1 inch of ribbon, 5 yards of wire, corsage pins
2. Step 1: Clip the stems of the flower to 2 inches. Wire a small
sprig of fern to one flower.
3. Step 2: Make 2 multi loop bows. Loops should be about 2 ½
inches long, or just long enough to frame the flowers. Make one
bow with 6 loops, and the other with 12. Wire the centers of the
bows. Leaving long tails.
4. Step 3: Place the flower with the fern against the smaller
of the two bows. Position the bows so that it frames the lower
section of the flower. Wrap the bow’s wire around the stem of
the flower and trim away the excess. Wrap the stem with floral
tape. This will be the upper half of the corsage.
5. Step 4: Position the remaining flower against the larger of
the two bows so that the bow frames the lower half of the flower.
Wrap the bow’s wire around the stem of the flower and trim away
the excess. Wrap the stem with floral tape.
6. Step 5: Position the upper and lower section of the corsage
as shown. Holding the stems together, wrap with floral tape. Add
a sprig of fern to frame the corsage, and tape in place. Pin corsage
in place with corsage pins.
Boutonniere:
1. The supplies- white baby’s
breath 1 sprig, the flower, paddle wire, floral tape, wire cutters,
glue gun, glue sticks.
2. Step 1: Clip stem of the flower to about 1 ½ inches.
Wire around stem, leaving long tails of wire.
3. Step 2: Glue a sprig of leaves behind the flower. Wrap the
stems of the leaves and flower together with floral tape, wrapping
beyond the flowers stem about 2 inches. Clip away excess wire.
4. Step 3: Coil the wire around the end of a pencil to create
a vine effect at the end of the boutonniere.
5. Step 4: Glue a sprig of baby’s breath behind the flower, between
the flower and the leaves. Glue one small leaf to the front of
the boutonniere.

event were dozens of Valley Christian students. Freshmen, sophomores,

with God.

Spiritual Emphasis
Week
Imagine trudging through a swamp waist deep with nothing
to guide you but your compass. It is night, and you have to use
your instincts to find your way to a marked point. For speaker
Darrin Crowder, he has met many similar challenges
such as this when he joined the army.
Crowder came to Valley Christian the week of March 27 to share
his message with the students of how to separate “what the world
tries to say to you vs. what the Bible is trying to tell you.”
