Everything you need to know...
Ordering can be intimidating for a first timer.... Follow these suggestions to create the perfect Homecoming Mum or Garter!
​
You can order just Braids and Kits too!!
HOW TO GET STARTED ...
1. Mums are worn around the neck with a ribbon and Garters are attached to the arm.
​
2. Choose your size (these are just recommendations)
-
Pee Wee Mum/Garter (siblings, grandparents, parents, little league teams, elementary age) about 7.4" long and 4.5" wide
-
Single Mum or Garter(Middle School, 9th - 10th grade) about 30" long and 10" wide
-
Double Mum (10th - 12th grade) about 32" long and 12" wide
-
Triple Mum (11th - 12th grade, College) about 40" long and 13" wide
-
Senior Mum 12th grade - these are typically white with gold/silver accents) about 40" long and 14" wide
-
Garter (Middle School, High School, College) about 24" long and 8" wide
-
Senior Garters (Larger mum flower and longer streamers) about 30" long and 10" wide
-
Wrist mums (if you want something small, or for siblings, parents, grandparents)
-
BackPack Mums (Made to attach to your backpack) Single flower 10" wide with shorter streamers and braids 20" long
​
3. Choose your colors. Traditionally they are white with gold or silver for Seniors (some seniors add a small bit of accent color), school colors with gold or silver for all other mums, however, they can really be any color you would like - you get to pick!
​
4. Give information like interests, hobbies, ideas you are excited about and they get incorporated into your mum - usually done by the designer. I have done everything from a religious football trinket, to astros gear, to instruments, to feathers, to flamingos, sports, etc...
​
5. Decide if you want your name, initials, dates name, etc... on the mum.
​
6. Decide if you want a boa and if there are any special braids you like - look at the portfolio for ideas, or under the braids tab to see what you like best. (Some are extra charge - cascading braid, etc...)
​
7. You can make your Mum/Garter EXTRAordinary by adding ADD-ON extras, like bears, lights, specialized braids, more bling, etc... Check the ADD-ON Tab when you place your order. I also have a FANCY & FABULOUS Mum ADD ON you can order this includes a extra ribbons, fancier braids, glitter cut outs, extra bows, bears, extra trinkets and over the top BLING (you customize what you like best).
​
I customize the Mum/Garter based on information you provide with school colors, and individual information you provide on the order form. Remember that I cannot duplicate Mums/Garters, so the pictures shown are examples of previous Mums. I would love to see your ideas and things that you like but I cannot duplicate another person's work.
