[@julienewton2695]

Come back to this every December. Thank you! Hope you are keeping well eight years later.

[@ChrisPeakUK]

I didn't realise Christmas wreath making was so glamorous :-) I look forward to seeing more of the same - well done!

[@DulceGraceDesigns]

I have always wondered how the florist wreaths are so full - now I know the secrets! You are so generous sharing your knowledge like this.

[@pepperpound11]

Ladies love your style! just the right blend of instruction in a relaxed tone and booze!

[@kylematthewraven1041]

It looks beautiful, its all about how you layer it. I love the more natural look. Thank you for the inspiration

[@mmartin1980]

AMAZING

[@thecrackedpotuk]

Thanks Chris

[@bashhhe]

Just lovely!

[@caspergroupintl.4825]

These are beautiful so what if you want fake apples do you glue them on or use the metal with it.

[@jenniferdragonfly3429]

+Casper Vape you can do either but i would use the metal that way they are not ruined for next year good luck and have fun crafting and have a happy holiday

[@craigbell2926]

hi exellent tutorial first class just a few questions what gauge stub wire is best to use for putting on the spruce into moss and will moss from around british woods and streams work thanks

[@thecrackedpotuk]

Hi Craig, we use 22 swg (standard wire guage) 0.71mm wire. Needs to be thick enough to push into the moss but not to thick that its to hard to wind around the stems. You can use any moss as long as it packs solid enough to build a firm base to hold the wires in place. Hope that helps....good luck. Would love to see a pic of your finishes wreath, Louise

[@craigbell2926]

Thanks louise i will send u a pic when completed thanks for advice and great video

[@emmamassie8653]

What gauge stub wire is being used to put the spruce and dried fruit on with

[@thecrackedpotuk]

Thanks, please share with as many as poss Hope youre well xx

[@carlenebender5959]

You two sparkling ladies make it look easy but I would be stumped at the first hurdle. Any chance for a workshop one morning where you supply all the materials and we pay a flat fee to make a Christmas door wreath? All of a sudden I want one... - from Carlene at Contactus Ealing

[@Matriarch57]

Thank you!!!!

[@cookieekiss]

Really lovely, can't seem to find the guide on the website though :( X

[@louisedutfield8635]

+Amber Raeanna you can find it here. sorry bit late in getting the page up and running www.isendflowersuk.co.uk/

[@janelishman9122]

Is the guide still available?

[@chaliceguard4575]

Love your style (champagne, sparkle, LOL!) I was thinking that, instead of the plastic wrap (always looking for shortcuts for those of us who are a bit impatient), couldn't a spray fixative be used instead? Like a lacquer type spray? Thanks for sharing!

[@thecrackedpotuk]

Hi Chalice, the plastic wrap is to protect the surface of the door you hang it on as much as to keep the moss in but you can always give it a go and let me know how you get on

[@duffyellie]

Hi, can you tell me what length and guage wires I need for this please? What guage stubb wire? Thank you :)

[@thecrackedpotuk]

Hi Lisa, Id say a 19 guage and about 10" long will do it

[@kathzyna1]

well done girls!!

[@rolvol2771]

Perfect idea Louise! You did the trend 2018? Christmas Wreath of Tangerines? We tried to repeat this on us channel, I hope was not too bad. Can give feed back?

[@nicinici6499]

love your wreath, but could i use an oasis wreath instead.... will it look any different? would it last longer?

[@thecrackedpotuk]

Yes you can use an oasis ring if it's easier for you. It will be a lot heavier but you can use fresh flowers and the non evergreen foliage will last a bit longer but you will have to keep the oasis wet. You also wont need to use any wires. Just push the stems directly into the oasis. Just lay it flat every so often and poor a jug of water through the gaps. Good luck

[@renata365]

super dekoracje😃

[@lindseypaterso2185]

I've watched your video and have just put wreath rings together now to save time later on will they be ok? Do I need to moisten them at time of making up with greenery?

[@thecrackedpotuk]

Hi Lindsey, sorry for the delay in replying. You can give them a spray a few times before you make them and keep them in a cool place. Will make it easier to work with but won make any difference to the greenery really. Good luck

[@josephineamos313]

Hi How far in advance can I make the wreath using the fresh materials.Excellent video

[@thecrackedpotuk]

+Natalie Spencer Hi Natalie, sorry for the tardy response. It really does depend on the foliages you use. Spruce should be fine from end of Nov through to New year. Apples can rot if you use them too far in advance but you can always add things to your wreath as the month goes on and even add fresh flowers like red roses on the last days to brighten it up

[@dannyjacob5002]

What is that drink

[@valerieoreilly5881]

I can't seem to buy sphagnum moss anywhere..Any ideas?

[@vivavideosuk]

Valerie, not sure where you are based, but in the UK it can be purchased in local garden centres, florists and some of the larger supermarkets that have a garden section.

[@BrightonDunkz]

Where do you live? If you live in the UK Waitrose sells it :)

[@agathamirelle2654]

+Valerie O ' Reilly Amazon (the website). Or in the forest, though I suppose it would take a long time to gather that amount. I know this was 11 months ago, I just wanted to throw out ideas for those with the same question.

[@jenniferdragonfly3429]

+Valerie O ' Reilly try ordering it online from garden store ...happy crafting :-)

[@rasherpig]

How many bottles of wine do I need to drink to make one of these.. cant wait to get started.

[@CindyCyndiCinde]

is this artificial pine?

[@thecrackedpotuk]

Hi Cindy, no its real pine. We use the moist moss to keep the pine fresher for longer

[@patriciayan1123]

nice wreath

[@zoe74ful]

o m g i remember having to do this as a trianee..amawrap round base,,,and hands torn to shreds..alas,,we use hay as base below amawrap,as moss is protected here now,,,

[@thetoxiccgamerr6574]

Ladies, y'all are so much fun to watch. The wreath is just beautiful. Wish I was one of your girlfriends....we would have a hoot.

How to make a Christmas wreath ring with oasis wreath ring

[@davidgutierrez-ot2qw]

Her friend just there to drink lol

[@KammyG]

+david gutierrez me.

[@Na80014]

Cin cin =)

[@bowler8]

you really dont need all that, thats why the wreaths cost what they do

[@piscesrain8882]

The moss,floral sticks, small bits of wire, and plastic aren't needed. I've never seen anyone make all these extra steps for a wreath . All that extra waste. It's pretty just unnecessary waste and time.

[@thecrackedpotuk]

Thanks for your comments, although I'm wondering if they were actually necessary

[@ИдельТаипов-щ4й]

two fools

[@jennymasters1714]

Definitely sound drunk at the end of it, slurring words and everything :)

[@agathamirelle2654]

+Jenny Masters Definitely a passive-aggressive comment.. :)
