Abstract
A corsage holder embodied in a solid elongated plastic molding includes a first longitudinal side adapted to be fitted against the stems of flowers arranged in a corsage. An opposite side of the molding receives tape ordinarily utilized to bind the stems together. At either end of the holder body is a transverse aperture for receiving a corsage pin. The holder is tapered along its length to conform to the natural taper of the tied stems of a corsage. The apertures are formed through projections which locate the apertures outward from the tape receiving surface of the holder body. When taped to the stems of a corsage, the projections are located outward from the taped stems and allow access to the apertures to facilitate pinning of the corsage to clothing.
