Actually, what you do is grab your scissor and head outside to gather whatever blossoms and greenery you can find. (Get more than you think you need, because the younger sister of the son in question will decide that she wants to make a corsage, too. Trust me on this. Younger sisters are NOT easily dissuaded.)
Once you've gathered your supplies, go find your floral tape. (You know, the roll of floral tape that was included in the random box of "gardening stuff" your friend gave you when she moved.....doesn't everyone have one of those?)
When you have all your tools and supplies assembled, make a corsage. It might look something like this:
 |
| crabapple blossoms, a spray of white lilacs, a sprig of an unnamed houseplant, some floral tape, some ribbon, a drop of SuperGlue (to hold the end of the ribbon in place) and a corsage pin to attach this little masterpiece to the dress of the extremely lucky girl who will receive it... |
(Yes, I did feel a little bit like MacGyver when I had finished this project....thank you for asking.)

That is gorgeous. I have to go tell J that C went to a dance with a girl. Any bets on how many shades of purple and red he blushes?
Trust me, C was all shades of red when I was asking him about the girl.
(p.s. I wish I'd learned how to make corsages earlier - I could have saved T and S a lot of money over the course of 2 proms each!)
