How Do You Make A Wrist Corsage?

Weddings and proms aren't the only events iconic enough for corsages. Big things happen at dinner parties, too. But, these events deserve an alternative to the rose and baby's breath version.

I first designed the chic gardenia wrist corsage for an episode of "The Oprah Show." It was featured at a surprise anniversary party. Step 1 Order fresh gardenias from your florist to arrive the day of or day before you plan to use them.

Step 2 Search for 2½-inch width, lightweight, silk ribbon (satin and wired ribbon don't work as well; they tend to be too heavy and come untied). Look at craft stores or online (type the keyword "silk ribbon"). Plan to use about 26-28 inches of ribbon per corsage, depending on the ribbon.

Step 3 Store the gardenias in your refrigerator until use. Step 4 On the day of the dinner party: Clip the stem of the gardenia so it will lie as flat as possible. Apply hot glue to the ribbon.

Be careful not to touch the petals of the flower too much. Gardenia petals are kind ... more.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
