Using floral adhesive and hot glue
Corsages Alternative to wiring and taping Floral adhesive is a rubber
cement developed for use on fresh flowers
Floral adhesive may be used in corsages of very light and delicate flowers may also be used to add greenery, flowers and accessories to a wired corsage.
Hot glue may be used to construct a corsage
Hot GlueAvailable in several
forms, including pan-melt glue, glue chips, hot melt sticks and low temperature sticks.
Glue may be melted in a electric frying pan, glue pot or glue gun.
Hot GlueHot glue melts at a
temperature of 275 F., low temperature sticks melt at a much lower temperature reducing the possibility of injuries.
Hot GlueLow temperature glues are less
likely to cause damage to delicate flowers, but do not have the holding power of hot glue.
Student Project #1
The Oasis decorative wires come in many colors. One (or two) is sure to match your favorite dress. For a simple ring, you will need aluminum wire, bullion wire, Oasis floral adhesive, diamante pins and a small flower blossom.
Create a ring by twisting a 6” length of aluminum wire around your finger. Not too tight: it is easier to size down later than it is to enlarge.
Loosely wrap the bullion wire around three fingers about 35 times. Stretch your fingers apart slightly so you can easily slide the wires loops off when you are done. Round and round you go…
Using a bit more bullion wire, bind the looped bullion wire tightly together in the center to create a figure 8. Now you are ready to fan out and fluff the loops creating a colorful daisy form.
Place this on the ring base and fold the extended arms of aluminum wire across the top to anchor it in place. To get a nice firm connection, squish the joint tightly together with a pair of needle nose pliers.
Isn’t this fun? And easy too! The base is complete and pretty all by itself. To finish, choose the perfect blossom and glue it in place with a dab of Oasis floral adhesive. Just a dab will do ya!
Add the head of a single diamante pin to the center of the flower for a sparkling touch of glamour. For a touch of whimsy, a tiny lady bug could be glued in place. Ohhh…. that sounds like fun!
