Happy Friday: DIY Wrist Corsages
Sent from reader, Erin:
Hi Collin! With it being prom season, I wanted to share the wrist corsages I made for my daughters for a daddy daughter dance. I had planned on ordering their corsages, but changed my mind when every florist in town quoted me $25 a piece!
I discovered that Hobby Lobby has a large selection of corsage and boutonniere making materials. All of the materials I used happened to be on sale for 50% off, but you could use a 40% off coupon when they’re not. I was able to get everything I needed to make two wrist corsages (including the plastic boxes) for a little over $14! Way better than the $50 I would have paid at a florist. Even better, my daughters had no idea they didn’t come from the florist until I told them. 😉
HAPPY FRIDAY!

That is great. Were they easy to make?
Yes! There’s tons of instructions on YouTube and Pinterest 😊
Beautiful!! Great job!
Way to save, prom mama!
Thanks Hip2save!
You’re welcome Erin! 😉
I saw some at Walmart next to the veggies and they were gorgeous the most beautiful I have ever seen (and my husband used to work floral so I know beautiful!) and only a few bucks not sure exact price i think $9.99 Or less and they were fresh.
Beautiful I need instructions would love to make next year for kids prom thanks
I tried this in high school many moons ago. Lol. The rose was too big but whatever
Thrifty and all the more special because you made them. Great idea!
Nicely done!!!Great job!!!
I needed this last week.But my daughters have 3 more proms to go.My son with two for his date,Thank you.Happy Friday!
I’ll be making two tomorrow for my daughter’s prom. Made on last year, almost glued my fingers together, for about $10.
Nice! I was a free agent for most of high school and went to more than twenty formals. Didn’t take long before I figured out how to make a boutonnieres. DIY for the $ave!
Erin, those are beautiful! You did a great job.
Very pretty Erin! Good job!
That’s so awesome! I bet your daughter thought that was so thoughtful of you to make them! Some of the best, most thoughtful gifts are homemade! The cost savings is a bonus! Way to go!
Great job! I actually did my whole wedding from the flowers at hobby lobby and they looked great! I paid them to make the men’s flowers and didn’t cost but a few dollars each. The ones that me and the bridesmaids carried I found already made on clearance for 50% off and they were the exact colors I was going for!! Yay for hobby lobby!
Very beautiful, what a way to save in everything and every event
Wow Just Beautiful how Amazing they turnned out 😊
beautiful job, the boxes were perfect too
Too bad hobby lobby is anti-birth control for their employees. Businesses are not people, they shouldn’t be able to pick a religion
I agree 100% – I refuse to shop at Hobby Lobby for exactly this reason.
Hobby lobby is not anti birth control. They cover 16 of the 20 approved birth control options. There are only 4 they don’t cover, such as the morning after pill because they believe life begins at conception.
The irony of that is that it takes up to 4 days for conception to start; the morning after pill prevents this from happening. It does not cause an abortion because conception doesn’t even happen, if it’s successful. The morning after pill is a totally different drug from the abortion pill.
I love hobby lobby for the stand they take. Pro life!! Aren’t you thankful your parents didn’t take that morning after pill!?…we each have a opinion and that includes business owners. That is each person’s right. Why does it only upset you when you don’t agree?
Well spoken!
Wrist corsages for our prom a few weeks ago were $35-45 each! I couldn’t believe how much they’ve gone up!
My mom made both my corsages for prom and more recently, all the bouquets for my wedding!
They are beautiful! Awesome job!!
For Thanksgiving and Christmas my dad would buy cheap flowers from the grocery store. The ones on sale that would only last a couple of days. We would get nice fresh flowers and when they started to die a day or so later no big deal they served there purpose and cost very little.
Great job!!!
Nice job! They look professional–maybe better! The ones I’ve seen tend to be too “busy” for my tastes.
These are beautiful! Thanks for sharing your tip!
My family likes these for Mothers day. This is a good idea.
These are just beautiful!
