Creating stunning wrist corsages has never been easier than now, with the introduction of “Wristix” by BoutStix. The innovative new Wristix wrist corsage base features a round coated-metal base and a sturdy yet silky soft elastic band with a long hook-and-loop closure that provides for an adjustable and snugly comfortable fit. Wristix is designed to streamline the creation process for professional florists. The wrist corsage bases are available in “Combo Packs,” which include three original BoutStix (three magnet sticks with three backing magnets) and three new Wristix (three wristband/bases with six magnet sticks—two for each wristband/base).

The Wristix is a wrist corsage band and coated-metal base.

STEP BY STEP

Step 1

Wire and tape flower stems, and then tape them together to form two sections of a corsage. Tape each section to a magnet stick with stem wrap.

DESIGN TIP: Use one magnet stick for central flowers and a second magnet stick for complementary flowers.

Step 2

For the greatest amount of design surface, create floral pieces to be positioned on the Wristix base with the magnet sticks in opposing directions.

Step 3

Place the two sections of the corsage onto the Wristix base.

DESIGN TIP: Glue additional filler flowers and bits of foliage into the corsage with liquid floral adhesive, if desired, as well as to the Wristix base, for additional security.

Alternative Design Method

Glue all botanical and other materials directly onto the Wristix magnet sticks with liquid floral adhesive, and then attach the magnet sticks to the Wristix base.
