Creative Flourishes
If you want some great ideas you can use on all future mums, this is the place for them! See below for just a few:
Layered Ribbons
The above ribbon combines three separate ribbons cut to size. It starts with a base of faux brown fur, adds a strip of diamond-like rhinestone ribbon cut to approximately 1" wide, and a very small cutting of the dark camo ribbon on top of that.
Ribbon & Wire Bows
Notice the small ribbon labeled #1 above. This is made from item 426040JT, our jute treelimb ribbon, using the wired edge cut thinly and then tied into a wire bow. The wiring makes the ribbon sturdier and moldable if needed. #2 is made from the same ribbon, though it uses a smaller center strip tied into a bow with iridescent rhinestone accents.
Using multiple parts of the same ribbon for bows can add eye-catching accents to your staple mums.
Military Braid Additions
Using just a pull bow and some tulle cuttings (both from the gold sparkle tulle at bottom right and solid brown tulle on top right), this military braid became far more decorative. Layering a camo bow from a cutting of camo ribbon, a gold pull bow, and tied tulle bow, the top bow combination can be easily attached with hot glue. Rhinestones and a gold bell additions make this military braid the focal point of the mum.
Military Braid End Bow
The above end bow was made using gold glitter chevron ribbon found at item number 440405JT.
