I love your channel, me and my daughter watch you make flowers before bed. And I love the little trash can. Where did you find that at?

[@madewithapril]

That's so sweet, thanks for the support! The little bin is from dollar tree!

[@MyGrannysCloset3G]

Thank you 💚

[@Savvie_]

Hi, ik this video is like a year old- hehe but I was wondering if you made all the flower stems the same length? I love your business 💗

[@madewithapril]

Hii I think I did! Thank you!!

[@lunamalicreations]

Loved watching this video the bouquets 💐 are gorgeous!!! What are those bouquet wrapping bags called? Is there a link?

[@madewithapril]

I got them on Amazon, I just searched bouquet bags!

[@lunamalicreations]

@@madewithapril ahh ok thanks 😊

[@rebeccapfeifer2376]

Hi Tina!! What is that clear, wide tape you are using? I need! Also, are your characters hot glued onto sticks like the flowers? Loved watching this vlog this morning. Your pups are adorable.

[@madewithapril]

Hi Rebecca! I used two types of tape when wrapping the bouquets, the fully transparent one is transparent scotch tape and the one I think you're talking about is called 'paper tape'! I've seen it at craft stores and occasionally dollar stores! The characters aren't got glued so they can be removed and used as desk buddies! I do the same thing when I put keychains into my bouquets. Since they're surrounded by flowers they stay put pretty well! Thanks for watching 💕

[@rebeccapfeifer2376]

@@madewithapril that is so helpful, thank you!!

[@krishaniweerasinghe1172]

Love your beautiful flowers. I' m try to make flowers after watching your videos. Can I know the gauge of wire stem you used & where can I buy them please? Thanks.

[@madewithapril]

Thank you! I use these ones on amazon: amzn.to/3LRaC2x

[@krishaniweerasinghe1172]

@@madewithapril Thank you so much. I started crochet ten tears ago but hardly ever made flowers. But after seeing your videos I made flowers as a gift for my kids teachers appreciation day. Thanks again!

[@bettydrago6481]

What size wire do you use? I know you mentioned in one of your videos but I can’t find it now. I love watching your blogs. I hope you enjoyed your vacay!

[@madewithapril]

16 to 18gauge wire for the stems ans 22 or thinner for the petals!

[@user-qo8mv9vd6i]

How to wrap flower bouquet in paper?

[@nicelifewitheun]

i love your flowers! ❤😍😍what gauge do you use for the stems?

[@madewithapril]

Thank you!! I use 18guage for the longer stems, and sometimes 20 or 22guage for little branching parts/buds/tiny flowers!

[@gabby6329]

Where do you buy your stems at?

[@nicelifewitheun]

@@madewithapril i love your yarn colors! what yarns / yarn weight and what hook size do you use? :)

[@cosmicchrissy2367]

Question! Do you sell these all year or do they fizzle out after the summer time? Do you change them up at all for after summer?

[@madewithapril]

I sell them all year but they are more popular during the summer!

[@craftzebra]

Ok, these flowers are absolutely gorgeous!!!!!! Can I ask how much you sell your bouquets for? I bet these will sell really well for mothers day. All so pretty!🌻🌷🌼

[@madewithapril]

Thank you!! They range between 15 to 75 depending on size and if they include custom characters, or if they come with a vase! Thank you so much!!

[@AriannaCortes-gy2dn]

Hi I know this video is old but I was wondering what clear paper do you use on the front of your bouquets 💗

[@madewithapril]

It's just transparent bouquet wrap!

[@cosmicchrissy2367]

How do you keep the flowers fromnspinning up top on the floral wire?

[@madewithapril]

Hot glue! Or just wrapping them really tight!

[@cosmicchrissy2367]

@@madewithapril Thanks lovely!

[@NikitaGuidee]

I was crocheting Some Flowers and I keep getting anoyed when I wrap yarn on the stems. I noticed you dont seem to wrap the stems or am i wrong ? I would love not to have to wrap them haha

[@madewithapril]

I do wrap them :( it is one of the more tedious parts of it - I used to not wrap them when I first started (this video is a bit older) but it just doesn't look as cohesive. I've actually been using a drill to help spin the yarn around the stems and it makes it 3x faster!!

[@-Splendid-]

736th sub! (Earlier today)

[@yxmto]

did you need to have a license or anything like that to sell at markets?

[@madewithapril]

Nope! If you make over a certain amount a year you do need to register and pay taxes though!

[@carolbattle8010]

How much to you sell your roses for. Thanks

[@madewithapril]

$10-12CAD each!
