Julie kept things simple for us and first showed us how to wire individual flowers\/leaves so that they kept their shape. She then showed us how to plan our ‘buttonhole’ , using a variety of colours\/textures of flower and leaf, and then used floristry tape to hold them together and make a beautiful corsage finished with a ribbon bow.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
