Prom season is in full swing and there is nothing more sweet than the exchange of a corsage and boutonniere. We’ve created a classic design that is so easy to make at home, and can be made to match any color!

Here’s what you need for the corsage:

Silk flower

Hot glue

Feathers

We used https://www.moonlightfeather.com/1-dozen-peacock-green-laced-hen-saddle-feather/

And https://www.moonlightfeather.com/1-pack-black-goose-coquille-loose-feathers-0-35-oz/

Felt

Ribbon

Any accent pieces needed to match the style you’ve chosen. (i.e. pearls, rhinestones, glitter)

Let’s start with the corsage:

Begin by cutting two rectangle pieces of felt that are larger than the width of the ribbon. Cut one to be about ¼ inch smaller than the other, but in the same shape.

Take the larger rectangle and begin gluing the feathers and flower. Make sure all of the felt is covered.

Next, cut a piece of ribbon long enough to tie around your wrist

Glue the felt side of your corsage to the middle of the ribbon, and then glue the smaller piece of felt to secure the ribbon. This will make the corsage more secure, and will keep the glue from rubbing on your skin.

Once you have the final shape, add any additional embellishments.

Here’s what you need for the boutonniere:

Hot glue

Ribbon

Feathers

Be sure to match your feathers to whatever color scheme you’ve chosen.

Any floral or accents needed to match the corsage.

Here’s how to make it:

Begin by arranging the feathers and flower in your hand until you have the look you want.

Secure them together at the base with a dot of glue.

Begin wrapping the ribbon around the stems and secure with a dot of glue

Add any additional embellishments needed to match the corsage.

It’s that simple! You are now ready for the prom!
