HOMECOMING!!!</p>
<p>This is Eldest&#8217;s senior year, and she really, <em>really</em> wanted a tacky Homecoming mum for her last year in high school.</p>
<p>I could not pass up the challenge. I purchased the required flower, backing and ribbons, and added to it feathers, a boa, Christmas strands, and a gaudy chandelier drop I found. I would have used LED lights, but that was sooooo 2011.</p>

<p>And my niece&#8217;s will have zebra striped ribbon, huge bells, and glitter!!</p>
<p>Very tacky, and I for one love it. I&#8217;m of the opinion that one should stand out. One should not go through Life unnoticed 😉</p>
