Homecoming Mum Corsages from Canada to Texas

Hey guys. I love this site :)

+ I had some questions about making homecoming mums.. I was looking to make one for my friend in Texas, but I live in Canada so I'm new to the whole idea. I understand that it should be school colors.. but does it have any other rules to it? (Does that question make sense...ahah) Like.. do the braids have to go to a certain side? Does the ribbon have to be a certain length / width? Thanks guys... :) <3

Hi Jie,

How sweet of you! I can’t imagine how you will pack it to ship all the way to Texas, but you didn’t ask me about that, did you? LOL.

Any there any rules you should know? Sort of. Homecoming Mums are a tradition and as such, there are some things that must be included. But most traditions evolve over time with new materials and fashion trends. This is certainly true for Homecoming Mum corsages.

Over the years, Homecoming Mum corsages have gone from lapel-size corsages of natural chrysanthemums to amazing contraptions constructed around large artificial mums. Part of the challenge and fun is to make each one unique.

Come back tomorrow for Eileen’s Ten Commandments of Homecoming Mum Corsages 2009 Edition.
