Corsages! More DIY! (PIP)

I've finished 3 of the 8 corsages I have to make.  (two mums, three grandmothers, three sisters). The first five are made with silk satin roses and Japanese silk leaves.   I tried to make the mums' a bit fancier.  I made them all out of a mix of ivory/cream, violet, grey and pink materials.  Let me know what you think!  There are many more pictures in my bio if you're interested. :D

(these three are sitting on a large piece of the violet silk I used for the mum's corsage leaves)

    princess74--I know this isn't the first time you've asked!  Sorry I just keep forgetting.  I have it on my "to do" list right after posting the new hair challenge.  I'll either make my own tutorial or show you where I learned.

    I can show you guys the leaves too.  I think they were super cute!

    I made them and the leaves... and everything else!  Sorry I have no pictures of any of the process, but I'll post some flower and leaf tutorials soon.  :)
