Stitch and assemble the orchid according to the collection instructions.

Make a bow from organdy ribbon (you’ll need about 24” yard) – choose colors to match your flower, or stitch your
flower to match your ribbon!

Create four loops (or more if desired). For an even bow, make loops on alternate
sides in a figure-8 pattern.

Use a piece of floral wire approximately 4” long. Twist it around the center of your ribbon to secure.

Twist the tails of your wire together – you will use this “stem” to attach the
ribbon to your corsage.

Choose some silk floral accent floral pieces, and arrange as desired behind
your lace flower.

Align the stems of your accent florals with the floral wire at the bottom of your orchid. Hold
together with one hand. With the other hand, begin to wrap the pieces together with floral tape.

Continue to wrap with floral tape. You may need to cut off some of the floral wire and floral stems.
Leave about 1 1/2” of stem at the bottom of the orchid.

Now, add your ribbon, aligning the wire “tail” with the orchid stem. Wrap stem and wire together with floral tape. If creating a
lapel corsage, pin on with a corsage pin.

To create a wristlet, form a circle of elastic and stitch together.

Use a double seam to secure the elastic together. Be sure to make the elastic
circle small enough that it has to stretch slightly in order to fit.

Align the elastic circle with the stem, placing the seam against the stem so it will
not show.

Secure the elastic to the corsage with a piece of wire.
![Page 15: Mother’s day corsage tutorial eds](https://reader030.fdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022032616/55a82fc21a28abae318b46eb/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
Wrap both the wire and elastic with floral tape. Tear off the tail of the floral tape and wrap it back around the
stem to secure the end of the tape. Stretch the tape as you wrap the tail to secure it tightly.
