Here is one way to place your mums on your Texas backer. It takes 12 – 4″-8 layer mums and 5 – 3″-9 layer mums.
The blue circles are 4″ mums and the red circles are 3″ mums.
The red triangles are 3″ mums taken apart – use 3 or 4 petal layers, fold and form to cover space as needed. You can spread petals out where needed or trim petals where needed to keep the Texas shape recognizable.
