I understand the first few steps (cutting the ribbon, putting them in a rubber band, etc.) but where I seem to be getting confused is the actual weaving part.
Do you happen to have a video? I have to have really step by step visuals, unfortunately.
I'm sure you are quite busy and I don't expect this. But, as I stated, the weaving part is confusing me. The steps are stating to let the color 1 drop to the back of the pole, etc... that's where I'm losing it. :o)
I have been making mums for many years now and, w/3 kids, my mind has slowly begun dwindling! LOL Is there any other link available in which to break this process down a little more?
Thank you so much!

Here are my new and - hopefully - easier to follow candy cane weave instructions.

The photo reminds me of winding the May Pole (if folks are old enough to remember that, considering it seems to have fallen out of favor)... I'm still not sure about the homecoming mums here, but I can see all kinds of applications for this weaving, I'm going to give it a try this weekend.
You're right, June, if you don't have kids in junior high or high school in certain areas of the country, you won't be using these weaves for Homecoming Mums.
Actually most of the love chain weaves originated as leather weaves for horse tack equipment and then were adopted for all types of leather goods from belts to purses to key chain cords (I remember making those in Scouts).
Let's see what you can come up with!
