How to Make a Ribbon Corsage

Here is a little tutorial on how easy it is to make a corsage, even
without flowers.

Cut a bit of "wired" ribbon.  It can be any color or print that you like:

Holding the end of the ribbon, pull the wire from the other side in order to gather the fabric.

Wrap this fabric around into the shape of a flower. 

In your left hand hold the entire bloom except for the end where you will wrap the wire that you pulled through.  This is how you "tie off" your bloom.

I like to make a corsage with 3 blooms of various sizes.  Make your blooms and then use additional wire to attach them to a sturdy stem of some sort.  Here I cut a small stem with just a big of green and secured the blooms to the stem. 

Make a bow out of a coordinating ribbon.  (When I use solid color ribbon flowers, I like to use a printed ribbon for the bow and visa versa.)  Grab a few additional filler pieces like a small amount of baby's breath, ivy, more bows, and carefully wire them all to the stem.   You don't have to wire each piece individually -- sometimes I gather several pieces together, wire those pieces, and then wire to the original stem.

By the way -- the ribbon that I wanted to use was TOO wide, so I simply cut it in half in order to make my bow.  I then used a little of this ribbon to make some filler, as well, using thin wire and attaching it to a sturdier stem...all of which is wired together. 

I looked at my corsage and decided where I needed more filler and detail. I decided to hot glue some medium size pearls into the white flowers, and leave the red flower looking like a rose.  I also hot-glued a couple of green ivy leaves into the corsage.  You may also want to glue some additional leaves to the back of the corsage to hide the wire and further secure the corsage.

Here are a couple pictures of the finished corsage:

 

FINAL STEP ...

Pin your corsage on someone special!

Tutorial - More LARGE IMPACT ART

By now you probably know that I would rather make something than purchase it -- especially when it comes to art.  Creating personalized artwork is so easy and FUN!  No one will ever have the same piece, you can use whatever colors you like, and when you're done -- you get to post it on your blog (haha)!   

Step 1.  Gather Your Supplies

Plywood or Medium Density Fiberboard (cut to size)
Gallon of Joint Compound
Putty Knife or Butter Knife
Paint (craft paint, enamel house paint, spray paint -- whatever you choose)
Frame (Optional)
Paint Brush

Step 2.  Apply several scoops of the joint compound onto your board.  Work it with the putty knife to get it soft and smooth (like they do with ice cream at Cold Stone Creamery).

Step 3.  Start to "sculpt" your design.  Designs that work well are paisleys, trees -- I'm doing a large starburst design, which is very easy and allows for a lot of color and depth.  Just use your putty knife to cut diagonal lines into the compound.  You will have about 15 minutes to work with the joint compound before it starts to thicken.  If this is not enough time, push all the compound to one area and add a little water to soften it up and then have another go at it.  Remember -- not possible to make mistakes -- experiment and have fun.

Step 4.  Once you have completed your design, allow it to dry overnight.

Step 5.  Start painting.  This will be layer one, and may include as many colors as you want.  There is no need to allow for any drying between different colors on your first layer, as you are wanting them to fade into each other.  After you have your layer one base colors applied in a way that pleases you, THEN ALLOW TO DRY.  If you are using craft paint, this should take about an hour.

Step 6.  When your first layer base coat is dry, you can start to highlight the dimensions of your artwork.  This will emphasize the ridges.  Take some white paint on your brush and apply the white paint to the upper ridges.  Start with a light hand until you understand the "feel" of it.  Follow the direction of the ridge pattern and keep your brush parallel to your artwork for best results.  See the images below.

Step 7.  Allow the white paint to dry completely.  This is beautiful just as it is and could definitely be considered finished, however, I prefer darker pieces.  No matter what I paint, it always ends up being dark, which means I need to apply some black, in the same manner I applied the white.

ALMOST THERE...

Note that at this point I did apply more gold in the center of the artwork to balance and offset the black.   Remember -- no rules, just make it the way YOU like it!

Step 8.  Ask you dog to pose in front of your artwork.

 Babbette and I think it turned out pretty good!

(Zoom in for a close-up so you can see those beautiful deep ridges.)

I hope you enjoyed this tutorial, and I also hope that you now feel encouraged and confident that you can create your own masterpiece.

Thank you for hosting, Cindy!
