Wreath Making Basics! 🎄🥰❤️ // Garden Answer 

Hi Laura. I am soon to be 72 years old and as a little boy for a couple years at about 8 or 10 years old, I made wreaths for our house and both of my grandparents houses. Didn't have garden centers, wreath hoops, paddle wire, hot glue guns or anything like Wilt Stop back then. We lived on a farm in Southern Ohio, so I used old barbed wire to make the hoops with. I tore old radios apart, and uncoiled the small copper wire from the transformers and wrapped it on a stick or small piece of scrap wood for my wrapping wire. Sometimes it wouldn't be long enough and I would have to splice on another piece. My one grandmother had some huge Hemlock trees that I simply loved with the small pine cones on them. My Uncle helped me cut some branches, and that is all I had available to use for the wreaths other than a few large pine cones. I attached the branches exactly as you do. When all finished, my Mom helped me make big red bows which I wired to them also. I was so excited and happy to give them to my grandparents, which they hung on their outside doors from Thanksgiving through Christmas. No camera in our family either, so no pictures available, only memories. Wishing you and your family a Happy Thanksgiving and the Merriest Christmas! Jim

If anyone ever questions if this girl is a professional - look at that !!! Absolute perfection !

I’d love to see how your neighbor reacted when you a) showed up at their door with a wreath & b) gifted them said gorgeous wreath hand-made by Laura “herself”! What a blessing you are as a neighbor, a wife & mother, and daughter & sister. You have millions of “friends” on FB & Instagram & RU-vid...what it must be like to be a close friend or girlfriend to such a giver & lover of people.

Your video is the perfect teaching tool for left-handers because we are seeing the mirror image of your work.

If A Good Neighbor, Is A Found Treasure ...... Then There's A New Lottery Winner, That's Just Moved In.

Hey Sweet Laura ♡♡♡ I want to Thank you so very much for sharing your Beautiful Wreath with us♡♡♡ GOD BLESS EVERYONE ♡♡♡ Have A Wonderful Blessed Peaceful Evening ♡♡♡ GOD IS SO GOOD♡♡♡

Can you imagine realizing you now have Laura and Aaron as neighbors, how wonderful! Thanks 😊

My friends and I make wreaths from ground pine that we forage! It’s so fun! Outdoors is the place to be! Go get some friends pack snacks go foraging then go back one of your homes build a fire pull out the picnic table and make some wreaths! Thank you for the video. I will be stepping it up when I’m out collecting! 👍

As simple as you make this look, why do I have a feeling that mine wouldn’t look like yours? 😉💐

hey Laura! this is the nicest wreath I've ever seen... and I've seen A LOT of wreaths. Thank you for your service.

Heeheeheee, I forgot to watch yesterday’s video, soooo now I’ve got a fresh Sunday video to go with my morning tea🫖 so happy 😁

Hi Laura, greetings from Serbia ! So amazing the result, you are amazing !

Thank you for sharing your lives with us! Question- what do Mary and Dennis (the previous owners) think about your property now with all the changes y'all have made? Including buying the new property? I'm guessing they are as amazed as we are at how beautiful it's turning out. I start my day every day with your videos, and watch old videos before bed! 💜💜💜

I wanna be your neighbor.

Good morning my beautiful fabulous friend! The wreath turned out beautifully! Thanks for the refresher, I needed that. Hope you are enjoying your weekend and feeling well. 🥰

The Christmas wreath is absolutely beautiful. Thank you for demonstrating the proper method of attaching greenery to a wreath form.

Your new neighbors will love it.😊

You make it look so easy. Your neighbors will be so happy you gifted them with a beautiful wreath that you made yourself.

Laura, it is beautiful and I can imagine how wonderful it smells too! Your neighbor will be thrilled with your beautiful and generous gift.

You rock! I learn something every day watching your videos.

Your a thoughtful lovely neighbor, & how perfect for a welcome gift. A homemade wreath. Watching this I think I could make one for sure. Thanks Laura.

Love this video, Laura. What a thoughtful gesture for a new neighbor. You have gifted hands of steel!

The perfect tutorial for natural wreaths. Thank you!

wow!!! That is absolutely STUNNING!!! You are so creative!

It's beautiful, thank you and thank you for your clear pronunciation and explanations, even for a non-native English speaker, it's easy to understand you.

Wowzer!! I liked Jim's story, use what you have, do the best you can, makes for a loving memory.

A gorgeous wreath and a really nice welcome gift. Thanks for the tutorial, Laura.

I watch but fail to say how much your excitement and skill inspires me. I love this wreath and that it was from the heart as a gift to a new neighbor. We are all family! Blessings.

Gorgeous. You are a great teacher.

What a thoughtful gift during this unsettling time.Just beautiful. Lucky new neighbor

Loved it!!!! And how cute with a string of microdot lights woven in!

Wreath so elegant. So Christmas. Looks like a Christmas card

Beautiful! Love it! Your neighbor should be happy with it! 👏🏻👏🏻❤️

So pretty Laura! Thank you for making this. You're a natural teacher! Much love! ❤

Wow preciosa corona....!!!!! Muchas gracias 💖🌲🌿🍃🙋‍♀️

So,so pretty and festive! Your neighbors will love it!

Love watching you make wreaths, thank you

Beautiful!! You are such a great instructor.

Jim what a wonderful story and memory for you. Thank you for sharing it with all of us.

Lucky neighbors......The little white nodes on the tips of the Incense Cedar are seeds....that develop into tiny one inch cones that are also pretty to decorate with..when they are still attached...I have native Cedar trees in my yard, and always wait to prune them around the first of December....many Holiday uses for the branches...

Lovely!

I love your show! Every year my daughters and I ado wreaths @ a historic farm. I watch your video before we go, to refresh my memory! We’ve used wire frames, wire clothes hangers & grapevines wreaths as our frames. The farm provides all kinds of interesting greens, flowers, seed pods, etc. it’s fun and now a tradition for us!

I loved this video Laura, love holly and the greens you picked so full and beautiful!

This was very helpful! Really appreciate the mix of overhead and front facing angles for the camera work. So much easier to see what’s happening! Hope you will start to show flower arranging in the same format. I would find that very helpful also! Thanks again for all you guys share!

So pretty! Love the holly with the berries in there.

I have covid19 currently and am watching all Garden answer videos once again to shorten my recovery time with some great videos! Love it❤️

Thank you, thank you, thank you for teaching us how to make these beautiful wreaths! I feel like I can tackle a wreath project now. ❤️

Oh the wreath looks so AMAZING!!! I absolutely didn’t expect the end result to be so gorgeous ❤️

good morning is so beautiful I love it

As always, simply beautiful! But just look at the superstar in the background. LOL! I love me some Russell!

You do such beautiful work! What a wonderful welcome to the neighborhood gift. You are one of my favorite channels to watch.

Loved the wreathe you made. It’s seems simple. Thanks. Andrea

Love your handmade wreath! I can almost smell it! Great info. I appreciate seeing what the professionals make.👏🙏😷🦃🎄

Again the most Beautiful wreath!

Beautiful fresh wreath! Love it! ❤️ 🌲! I am excited to make a fresh wreaths for my door!

“Pretty good” she says🤣 More like absolutely stunning!!! I think I need to move so I can plant these bigger types of trees!

ABSOLUTELY GORGEOUS 😍. Laura, you make it look so easy, you are awesome. Thank you so much for sharing this. I pray you're feeling well.

I found 300 yards of red velvet wired ribbon.. Hahaha.. I'm gonna put bows on everything! Love the wreath! So much easier than the wire dry cleaners hanger stretched into a circle I used as a girl to make our wreath.. One year we cut down a beautiful Holly Tree to use as our Christmas Tree. It was Beautiful.. But the warm house destroyed it. But for a week it was lovely..

🎄Another Saturday morning with my coffee and Laura. And the holiday videos are the best! Laura, I’m ‘of a certain age’ when new neighbors moved in we always welcomed them with a ‘gift’ of some sort, and having been welcomed once myself, I can tell you it means the world! Thank you for your kind heart and welcoming soul. And thank you for showing this gesture of giving the beautiful wreath to the neighbors! I know they are elated to know you and Aaron and Benjamin and soon, Baby Girl. Have a lovely weekend and God bless ❤️☕️🤶🏻

Beautiful! I’m sure your neighbor will love it!

😱 it’s so beautiful gosh now I have to make a wreath lol thank you 🙏

Everything you do turns out so beautiful, whereas I seem to make a mess. I need a video of Laura bloopers! That is a beautiful wreath and I really want to try making one.

Gorgeous wreath! Love the combination of greens. I'm inspired to try!

Mmmmm coffee with Laura and a cat in the sun along with making a beautiful wreath. Your neighbors will be so thrilled to have that for their door and such a nice welcome gift. One of these days I will try a wreath and I am glad your videos are so through as I will probably have one on as I attempt to follow along! Thanks for the inspiration.

Just what I need! Beautiful wreath! Thank you!

I paused video at 2mins amd gathered around my yard and my garden neighbors yards. I came up with pine (no clue what kind), beautiful amd perfect diff sized pinecones, cypress tree and my personal endless supply of magnolia leaves. My holly bishes wont have berries until after Christmas so Ill have to get those for color, but I'm excited! Ive clipped them and put it a bucket of water, Hopefully they will be ok until I can get to it in 3-4 days. Store tomorrow for wire, wreath hanger, holly and wilt stop. Mine will look just like Laura's! Haha. A girl can dream. Im atleast giving it a few tries. The best part is it's almost all from around my home amd free. Also, I now pay closer attention and notice my magnolia leaves DO feel lile felt on the underside.

It's a perfect welcome gift

All very interesting but love the star wreath and the jumper sleeve idea😂

Laura that wreath is beautiful I wish I was the one that moved in near you.I bet your new neighbors are going to love that house warming gift 🏡

That wreath turned out beautiful. Lucky neighbors. I'm adding it to my to do list. Love it!

Blessed neighbors! Thanks for this tutorial. Appreciate THIS! Beautiful! 🤩

❤️🎄 Simply beautiful. The combination of greenery and holly is so pretty together. Love it.

Thank you for this, Laura! My six year-old little boy and I are headed out to forage in our mountains and he wanted a little idea of what we would be creating. This was terrific!

I enjoy watching your creativity so much. Thank you for always sharing with us. Love your channel!
