Baby Shower Corsage

Baby Shower Corsages are easy to make and everyone will love them.  I love to customize parties and events to make an unforgettable experience.  So, I decided to change things up and make a different type of baby shower corsage with fabric rose petals. These are usually made with ribbon or with a large faux flower.  Furthermore, the rose petals give the corsage a soft, flowing look and feel, for a light and airy appeal.

You can customize the corsage to any theme and color.  For the baby shower I made these for, the theme was butterflies.  So once, we decided on a theme, I saved down butterflies I liked from the internet and then printed them on 65 lb card stock.  I used them throughout the shower.  For example:  on the menu, food labels, shower gift bags, water bottles, game print outs, chip bags and favors.  The possibilities are endless when you do a customized baby shower.

I give this an easy crafting level for crafters.  So you do not have to be an excellent crafter to create a baby shower corsage.  You just need a few hours, some supplies and your imagination.  So have fun and take pictures of your work!

Supplies

• 3 inch circle cut from a paper plate, poster board or heavy card stock.
• Ribbon in assorted colors to match the theme and sizes like: 7/8″, 5/8″, 3/8″ and 1/4″ – cut in 7 1/2″ strips for other corsages like, Grandma To Be or Aunt To Be.  For Mom-To-Be, cut the strips a little longer, about 9-10″, so the mommy-to-be corsage should be a little larger.
• 1 bag of faux fabric rose petals in the color or your choice.  Choose a bag with a few hundred inside.
• Scissors
• Dual temperature mini hot glue gun with mini glue sticks
• 65 lb white card stock
• 2″ circle craft punch
• 2 1/2 inch scallop punch
• Glitter card stock (color of your choice)
• Ruler
• Embellishments (optional)
• Self-adhesive pins

 

Directions For Making A Baby Shower Corsage

Cut out a 3 inch circle on a heavy duty paper plate (like Chinet), thick card stock or thick poster board.  It does not have to be a perfect circle.

 

• Next, apply some hot glue about 1/2 inch from the edge and begin gluing on the rose petals.  You are only gluing on a single layer.

 

• Upon completion, cut your ribbon.  I cut at least 14 strips (7 1/2 – 8 inches long) but cut more if you would like it thicker.  The mom corsage should be longer and more embellished than the other corsages.
• Then, apply some glue on the cut ribbon towards the bottom and glue close together.  So I like to lay them out before gluing to make sure I achieve the look I am wanting.  Also, start with the wider ribbons first.

 

Next, add another layer of rose petals, slightly overlapping as you apply.  Continue doing layer after layer until you are satisfied with the thickness.  I did about 11 layers on the Mom-To-Be corsage.

 

• Then print out the labels on 65 lb regular card stock.  I use a free software called Photoscape X.  They offer a paid version but the free version works for basic editing and printing.   I found a pink circle template on the internet.  Then, I typed in the words in an elegant font in Photoscape.  I recommend making a variety of labels:  “Mom-To-Be”, “Grandma-To-Be”, “Aunt-To-Be”, “Godmother-To-Be”, etc.  Then, punch out with a craft punch.  I used an 2″ craft punch.

 

• To jazz up the corsage even more, use a larger scallop craft punch, punch out larger scallops on glitter card stock.  I used a 2 1/2 inch scallop punch.  Then just hot glue the label to the scalloped glitter punch out.

 

 

• Apply the embellishments border if you choose or mini baby embellishments (this is optional).  I added some paper cutout butterflies, since the theme is butterflies.
• Last, affix the pin backs to the back of the corsage with hot glue.  Just make sure it is not upside down before you glue it.

 

• It is done!!!  Everyone will love this baby shower corsage.
