Seventies themed parties can emphasize the importance that dance music and the popular "hustle" and its many variants played in popular culture. White suits and dance costumes were common place while platform shoes were the rage. One possible craft for seventies party goers is to make crepe paper boutonnires and corsages.
These will be the perfect compliment to any dance party. Various paper flower colors or shapes can be chosen. Working with crepe paper allows for stretching and molding the shapes of flower petals. For roses, cut long strips the width of the desired flowers. Use pipe cleaners covered in crepe paper or floral tape. Roll the strips around the top of the pipe cleaner stems. Press the center of the flower into the bell shape of a furled rose. Curl the top edges of the rose petals under slightly.
Cut enough rose petals to show off the roses. Press these into the stems under the tape. Cluster as many roses as needed into a corsage or use a single rose for a boutonnire. Wrap the stems together with floral tape or ribbon. Tie a ribbon into a bow under the flowers to the front of the boutonnieres. Secure these with floral pins.
Some other kinds of flowers can be made about the same way. Carnations can be fashioned from the same materials. The serrated tops of pedals can be cut with paper edging scissors found in the scrap booking section of craft stores. Those who are artistically inclined may be able to create gorgeous orchids or chrysanthemums from the right crepe paper colors. Craft stores will probably have lots of preformed flower parts in the wedding section to help in making these more realistic. Stems, stamens or petals can be purchased in bulk.
Have fun staying alive seventies style!
