Homecoming Mum & Garter

My sister-in-law Caitie

asked me to make her

garter for her date again this year.

And I got the pleasure of doing her mum as well!

Hooray! I love making these :)

If you aren't from Texas,

at homecoming the girls and guys

wear these elaborate fake mums

adorned with tons of ribbons and trinkets.

It's GREAT fun.

The Garter:

I didn't have a chance to grab a shot of the

whole mum, but here's the top part.

Her school is the mustangs,

so that's the reason for the horse

I attached a sparkly hat

and then added a tiara... and of course

it's holding a sparkly football.
