Florists: How to Make a Corsage
Gluing Tips Using Corsage Creations Flower Bracelets
Gluing can be an easy and profitable alternative to time consuming wiring and taping. Personally, I can create a corsage on a Corsage Creations Flower Bracelet using glue in about three minutes, and many designers using these techniques are able to design beautiful corsages in about five minutes. The first step is the willingness to try!!!
Add bows, beads, wires and flowers easily using the preattached flexible plastic disk.
A great problem within the industry is designers using the incorrect glue. When I began gluing I mistook plastic modelling cement as the correct glue. Many others use pan melt glue that breaks off after being in the cooler. The correct glue I use is Oasis ® Floral Adhesive. To use the glue, pour a small amount out on a disposable surface. By taking the glue from a surface and not from the tube, the drying time is shortened. Remember, glue is cheap in comparison to a returned design, so use plenty.
The corsage will be created with four major components, a Corsage Creations Flower Bracelet, spray roses, filler, and greenery. First, cut the calyx flat on the first two roses to create a large surface area for the glue to adhere to. Glue the first two roses together in the middle of the Corsage Creations Flower Bracelet disk.
Next, cut the second pair of roses at an angle. Glue them in a similar position as you would with wired and taped flowers.
Add the remaining roses by gluing them into the sides of the corsage. See the familiar look of a wired corsage?
For the last of the florals of the design, add filler flowers and greenery to the Corsage Creations Flower Bracelet corsage. These are glued in to the areas that need a little extra to fill out the design.
Finish your design by adding Kara’s Kisses and other embellishments as you see fit. Allow the glue to dry outside of the cooler, as it will not inside. Remember to use Floralife® Finishing Touch on the corsage. Deliver to your customer and watch the profits grow!!!!
