Spring is starting to show and Easter is on its way so why not celebrate with a garden party!  Invite friends over for tea and snacks and have a big basket of silk flowers you can all use to decorate dresses, shirts, corsets or other spring clothing.  Play music and tell stories while you work on your projects with friends. This flower corset would also be a great top for a prom dress too!

You will need:

- A corset, dress, hat or other clothing from Goodwill.

- A wide variety of silk flowers from Goodwill.

- A few hot glue guns to share.

- An assortment of costume jewelry gems or glittery items to add with your flowers.

This project is great fun because it’s hard to mess up. Simply take petals, leaves, or full flowers add a little hot glue and apply to your corset. Be careful not to hot glue your fingers (I think I glued mine more than the flowers and its not fun).  You could also use costume gemstones or rhinestones. 

When applying flowers think about using smaller ones around your waist ones (or just use leaves and petals) so that it doesn’t get too bulky.  Also think about transitioning from one color to another and using a variety of sizes to give the top more interest.

It’s also fun to make a pin board, or have magazine photos of other floral inspired garments to give everyone inspiration.  Once you are finished, wear your outfits to dinner, or go out dancing!  Happy Spring!
