Felt Valentine Wrist Corsage
My daughter is obsessed with "The Nutcracker". She watched the Macauly Calkin / New York City Ballet version about a million times. Well during the "Stalbaum party" scene all the girls get wrist corsages and Lilly loves this part. So I thought I would make her her own to wear for Valentine's Day. It was so simple and turned out so cute, I want to share with you how I put it together. I think they would make great gifts or party favors.
What you will need:
-a piece of ribbon about 18 inches long (this fit my 4 year old with extra for a bow)
-a rectangle of felt (mine is 3.5" x 1.5")
-two flower shapes with 4 petals cut from felt, one is slightly larger than the other (I cut them free hand) The larger one is about 3" and the smaller one is 2.5" across.
-a strip of felt about 8", straight along one long side and wavy on the other long side
-two leaves about 1.5" long
-glue gun (this is what I used for mine, tacky glue (great for kids to use when making this project) or red thread for sewing together
