Baby Shower Corsage — Pink Glitter Pumpkins

May 19 Baby Shower Corsage

For my best friend's baby shower, I decided to make her a corsage rather than go buy a generic flower one. A ribbon corsage is actually really easy to make and it makes is a little more special since it is something they can keep forever since it won't die like a flower one.

Items Needed

Backing from a Ribbon Package
Various Size and Color Ribbon
I had pink and gray 1 inch ribbon; 3/4 inch elephant ribbon; and 1/2 inch pink and gray polka dot ribbon and "It's a Girl" ribbon
Hot Glue Gun and Glue Sticks
Ruler
Scissors
Wooden Popsicle Stick (optional)
Cardstock
Cute Paper Punch (optional)
Pin Clasp

Instructions

1. Cut about 5 pieces of the larger ribbon 12 inches long

2. Hot Glue each piece of ribbon onto the back from the ribbon package. You can do this in any order you wish. You can see how I did this below. I also used the wooden popsicle stick to help push the ribbon down onto the backing instead of using my fingers since the hot glue is so...hot.

3. Cut about 5 pieces TOTAL of the smaller ribbon 12 inches long

4. Hot glue each piece onto the other ribbon. Again, the design is up to you.

5. Cut about 8-9 pieces of the large ribbon 5 1/2 inches long

6. Fold each piece in half and hot glue the ends together

7. Hot glue the folded pieces around the ribbon package. Again, the design is up to you.

8. Cut about 12 pieces TOTAL of the smaller ribbon 4 inches long.

9. Fold each piece in half and hot glue the ends together

10. Hot glue the folded pieces around the ribbon package on top of the previously added ribbon. The design is up to you.

11. Now you need to fill in the open space in the middle. I used a cute paper punch to punch a piece of cardstock out. The punch was 2 inches round. I hot glued this in the center of the ribbon.
