This is my absolute favorite tutorial of this braid! So easy to do, so clear about the technique. Makes the process much less intimidating.
My issue is that I have trouble finding the good ribbon though! Where do y’all get yours?

[@thesoutherncottage]

I’m glad this tutorial is helping you. We get ribbon from all over the place. Dollar tree, Walmart, hobby lobby, Southern, Floral, Sams, Amazon. Just about everywhere.

How many yards do you need for each ribbon?

I don’t know. I usually work off the spool

What size ribbon are you using?

I can never start mine without staples. I wonder if it’s because I use so many.

What are mums? Mum heads? Ring mums? Shoe mums? Wrist moms???

Homecoming Mum’s are a southern tradition for football games. Look up Texas homecoming mums or watch a couple more of my videos and you’ll see exactly when they are. They’re a little bit extravagant and a lot over the top but we love them. Basically an artificial flower with a lot of streamers and braided ribbon and trinkets
