How to Make an Easy, Stylish Corsage & Boutonniere

Whether you're looking to save money or want to try your hand at flower arranging, crafting a DIY corsage or boutonniere for your next big event is a great place to start. All you need is your favorite grocery store flowers and a few basic supplies.

To make a corsage, you'll need: corsage bracelet, corsage box, corsage glue, thin ribbon, a statement bloom, filler flower and greenery. We used two white spray roses, myrtle greenery and lavender statice as a filler.

Make a quick, easy bow by looping ribbon back and forth until you have three loops on each side. Hold loosely in the center with your finger, and snip off excess ribbon at an angle. If you don't love the look of ribbon, skip this step.

Use excess ribbon to tie a knot around the center, securing the bow. Snip off remaining ribbon at an angle, leaving a 1-inch tail on either side.
