Hasta La Ideas

In honor of prom, we’re making a DIY accessory that is as good as gold when it comes to spicing up your date’s duds or your elegant dress. This will be a night to remember so forget about trying to save a dying flower in a box for the rest of your life. This DIY memento will last forever.

Take a date night style tip from the queen of corsages, Carrie Bradshaw. She’s the inspiration for this week’s StyleHive project!

What you’ll need-

-Scissors
-Needle and Thread
-Brooch pin
-1/2 yard square of fabric of your choice (just be sure to choose something lightweight! Organza or a sheer silk works great!)

Step 1 – Staring from the edge, cut the fabric into a round spiral shape. The end result should appear as one long and narrow ruffle.

Step 2 – Thread your needle leaving 2 inches of thread from the knot and sew a loose stitch along the edge of your fabric. Knot and snip the end.

Step 3 – Holding the excess thread in one hand, push the fabric so that it gathers at one end.

Step 4 – Sew on the pin so that it holds together the ‘stem’ of your flower corsage.
