  • Take inspiration from the baby shower theme for ideas on what ribbon to get 
  • You will need around five different types of ribbons, depending on how full you want the corsage to look

  • Cut a small circle into the cardstock, as this is where you’ll attach the ribbon strips
  • Make a slit in the middle of the circular card and slip the hair clip into it
  • Staple the ribbon strips to the card in the same orientation as an award ribbon; all strips should hang down in a single direction
  • Put a large flower without a stem in between the corsage to hide the cardstock and staples
  • Add other details like a gemstone or brooch in the center to finish the ribbon baby shower corsage
  • Test the security of the pin into your shirt and reinforce the details with glue as needed
