Where to Find More Weaves for Your Mums

Do you know a website for weaving instructions on homecoming mums?

I got the diamondback ribbon and the military braid from your site. Do you know of any other braids?

Are there websites for patterns and instructions?

One of the best websites with directions on weaving homecoming ribbons is The Artful Crafter.

You will find illustrated instructions for Spirit Chains, Military Braids, Love Chains, The Diamondback Weave and Diamondback Garlands.

Here’s a little secret: the various weaves used for homecoming mum ribbons are derived from the art of weaving leather for tack, as well as articles of (Western) clothing like belts and holsters. Shhhh!

This isn’t surprising since the craze for outsize, outlandish, amazing homecoming mums began in Oklahoma and Texas. To learn some different weaves to embellish homecoming mums, I recommend B. Grant’s classic book, Leather Braiding. It may appear a bit retro to you but, as I said, it’s a classic.

The illustrations are clear and easy to follow.
