Secure the bow with fl orist wire. Tie the rectangular plastic design base (included with the bracelet) onto the bracelet with the attached ribbon. Apply liquid fl oral adhesive to the plastic base, place the corsage bow onto the base and allow the adhesive to dry. For additional security, tie the ribbon on the bracelet base around the bow. Glue in some glitter leaves around the edge. DESIGN TIP: This step can be done ahead of time. STEP 3 Glue individual blooms into the bow by applying drops of liquid fl oral adhesive to both the stem end of each bloom and the surface of the ribbon where the bloom will be placed. Allow the adhesive to become tacky, then place each bloom into the design, holding each in place for a few seconds until the glue becomes secure. Glue rhinestone sprays into the design with liquid fl oral adhesive. STEP 4 Boutonnière (photo, left) Create a small rectangular base for the boutonniere from heavy cardstock (you can also use the packaging piece around which the bracelet was attached). Attach adhesive dashes to both sides the cardstock base, and wrap the base with one of the ribbons used in the corsage (I chose the Fuchsia Glitter Mono Sheer ribbon). Glue a magnet to the backside of the base with liquid fl oral adhesive.
