I really didn't know where to upload this to! This is a Homecoming Mum - they are popular here in the South. Girls wear these around their necks or pinned to their jacket on Homecoming Day to High School. They usually go all the way to the floor. I custom make these for girls here in Texas and make all the braids, bows, toppers etc. I haven't ever uploaded anything here but just felt like sharing this! If you want to see more detail or pictures of more mums you can visit my blog at http://vintagescrapping.typepad.com/...oming-mums/#tp
I also have scrapbook pages and stuff uploaded there too!
Update! I have finally made some tutorials on how to make homecoming mums and the braids uploaded to my blog here:

Thank you! These are fun to make - when I'm making a few of them at once it can get a little overwhelming but I LOVE to see the end result! These big ones take me anywhere from 6 to 8 hours to make and the garter takes about 3 hours to make.
this is beautiful...I remember girls wearing something like this when I was in school...20 something years ago, but I don't think they do anymore...it's a shame to lose the tradition, I think it looks wonderful! TFS!
