Thank you so much for taking the time to show one’s like myself how I can use the deco mesh. I have never made a wreath yet, but I am going to give it a try. Thank you again!!
I find the ruffle method tends to allow for more fraying. Also, I use 20 inches for the cruffle method and curl no more than 3 times. It makes for a nice full look & saves 5 inches of mesh per cruffle. I also find it easier to allow the natural curl of the mesh to form the curl. Much easier than flattening and rolling. These are just things I have found helpful. Everyone has there own groove.😉
I do use my wood burning tool to cut mesh to help reduce fraying as long as the mesh doesn't have burlap or a fabric mesh. Yes everyone has a different way of doing things so there really is no wrong way, as long as you're enjoying the process. I like learning how others make their wreaths I always learn something new! Thank you! ❤️
Thank you so much for this! I am what I'd consider a pro crafter but have been intimidated by these wreaths. Doesn't look nearly as difficult as I thought.
You're welcome, I'm happy you found this helpful! I have several wreath tutorials on my channel if you would like to check them out. I walk step by step showing how I make them. Thanks so much for watching!
Your video was very clear and easy to understand. I like that you showed examples side by side of the different kinds you taught us at the end. It was like taking a mini wreath course. 😊Thank you!
Thank you so much for sharing your techniques. I'm new to wreath making and found this video to be clear and easy to follow along. Again thank you so much! ❤
This is an awesome video. Ian new so I have to watch this one more than once. What I don’t know what to do is how many goes in each section approximately using a 14 inch wreath
It depends on what method you use. Typically each section will have 3 ruffles, cruffles or poofs one per pipe cleaner. For the curl I usually use 2 curls per pipe cleaner. For bubble method I usually have about 5 bubbles in each section. I hope this helps. 😀
Thank you for all your help on showing how to do the different methods. I have the use of one hand so I will certainly try a few of the methods. I can do the curl method only at this point. If you have any suggestions for my one hand, please share.
I'm glad I could help! I think the ruffle method would be easy to do with one hand as long as you have a way to anchor/hold one end while you ruffle. Hope that helps. Thanks for watching! ❤️
It just depends on what you want to do. If you plan on adding anything like ribbon to them then I would wait and then when you are done just twist the pipe cleaners a few times and snip off the ends. If you are not going to put anything else in them then go ahead and give them a few twists and snip the ends off. I hope this helps, let me know if you have any other questions I'm more than happy to help if I can. Thanks for watching Leslie! ❤️
I have a round wreath that has been filled in with chicken wire. I'm trying to find one like I have to understand where to put the 10 inch decor mess. Is there anyway that you can show me how to do this. There is a hole in the center part of the wreath. I've combed thru the different sites and I cannot find anyone who is doing this
The difference is that with the bubble method you are putting at least 5 poufs in one section of the wreath and pushing the poufs together so the end result will look sort of like a bunt cake when the wreath is complete. With the pouf method you are only adding 3 poufs per section of the wreath ring and you are not pushing the poufs together. I hope that helps. Thanks for watching.
It really depends on what method you use and how big your wreath frame is but for me I tend to use the ruffle method more than the others and it generally takes 1 roll of 10"x10 yards cutting 18 pieces to 20" long and using a dollar tree 14" wreath frame. I hope that helps. Thanks for watching!
