How to make a cross wreath using deco mesh

[@pamelagillespie7007]

I am new to doing wreaths. I have watched a lot of other videos. They go so fast that I have to rewind and go over and over . You are a great teacher. You go slow and you show up closely how to do things. I learned how to make a bow without buying a bow maker from you. So you are the only one I watch keep doing what you do. And I will keep following. Thank you Southern Owls

[@SouthernOwls]

Thank you for your kind words 🥰🥰🥰 welcome in

[@beverlyroyal9838]

You might also check out Kat's Creations she goes slow and explains step by step. I enjoy watching and learning from both of them.

[@BonnieJ-w1j]

@@pamelagillespie7007 kats creations wreaths is much better to learn. Nicer wreaths too.

Hi I'm from Rising Sun, Maryland been watching you for a while. Love the wreaths you make.

[@SouthernOwls]

Awesome! Thank you!

[@QueenNanaEva]

Yes I made a wreath when my sis I law passed. Her sister loved it. It was a braided material in yellow.

[@SouthernOwls]

Sorry for your loss

[@QueenNanaEva]

@@SouthernOwls Thank you 🙏

[@lindabechtold8303]

I definitely am going to make it. Loved your instructions. Have seen these everywhere and always wondered how they were made. Found your you tube cross, loved it and now I will be trying my hand at making one for myself. Your video was perfect and I really enjoyed that you were funny and not so serious. That is why I was I continued to stay on.😊

[@SouthernOwls]

Thank you for your kind words!

I’m from Louisiana! Just saw you for the 1st time. Love these cross wreaths

[@SouthernOwls]

Awesome! Thank you!

[@HopeForUs5]

I'm a recent subscriber from Alabama. Love your relaxed style and got a laugh from your comments about wearing a mask! It kills me how angry people get - life is full of risks in EVERYTHING and grown adults can decide which ones they want to take. As long as you caution new wreath makers so they know, then you do YOU! 😊 Charleston & Savannah is our planned trip for next year and I can't wait! I know you must be excited. And as far as the Super Bowl, I'll be watching (especially those commercials!) but sad the Detroit Lions didn't make it to the big game. Thanks for showing us how to make that beautiful wreath!

[@janeramirez9971]

No, thank you!!!

[@SouthernOwls]

Welcome in! Thanks for your kind words. I always make sure to cover my bases... I bet someone will still tell me to wear a mask in the comments. Lol Thanks for watching!

[@tinarobbins1702]

I will definitely be making this. Beautiful. Thank you for posting this how to.

[@SouthernOwls]

You’re welcome 😊

[@deborahpage9910]

Yes, I read the descriptions too, from Virginia! I was trying to count how many you used from bottom to the top where they all come together. Couldn’t get it. I believe you did four on each side? Four on top? Thank you for your instructions, you are amazing describing what you’re doing.

[@KelleyDecomo]

Courtney I love how you keep it real and yes no one is perfect and those that hate on you are jealous that they don't have what you do, so do you girl and keep on keeping on ❤🎉

[@SouthernOwls]

Thank you so much

[@debbiethompson6240]

Yes, I do read the descriptions. Lovely cross, love the way you do the back.

[@SouthernOwls]

Thanks so much 😊

[@SouthernOwls]

[@marshadunsmoor7153]

This is my first wreath and I found that if I put the zip ties around the cross first, then insert the mesh wings and flip the zip tie to the back, tighten and cut it saves a lot of time! Then I don't have to flip the zip tie, it is already in the back

[@SouthernOwls]

That's a great idea!

[@DianneYocum]

I enjoy watching you and your creations! I missed when you added the wall behind you ?

[@SouthernOwls]

Yes, I changed camera angles. Thank you for watching.

Hi there! I use a piece of glass when I use the same type of burner. The piece of glass I got from the inside of the refrigerator that broke down on me. You know, the one that covers the veggie trays at the bottom. I love it because you can see the measurements/numbers right through it. Btw, I love watching your videos. 👏🏼🙌🏼🫶🏼

Oh I love that idea! Very clever. Thank you so much.

[@pennymatthews7415]

[@bettyingram9511]

I'm new and loving your excitement. Thank you for all your advice. Have a question? Dollar tree carries the deco mesh but it's only 6 inch. Can that be used? I know you said use 10 inch. Keep up the amazing teaching !

[@SouthernOwls]

No, it's not wide enough for the form. It needs to be 10" and good quality, so it doesn't fray.

[@bettyingram9511]

@@SouthernOwls Thank you so very much 💖

[@lisamills8139]

Do you have an Amazon store list of your favorite products? Love your videos!

[@SouthernOwls]

I don't, I honestly don't buy too much off of Amazon.

[@triciaponder8987]

Those two wreaths in the background, do they have more than one row of mesh? I made the wreath per your video with the paintstick and one row of mesh and the ones behind you look wider.

[@SouthernOwls]

They have 1 row of mesh. 10 pieces of mesh total.

[@terresabradburn3441]

Hi thx you for sharing I saw where someone else used the small white hair bands fromDT and wrapped the mesh before attaching. That way you can make them all then attach. Thought I would share. 😊

[@kathyd1787]

Also...do I need a wood burner for this project or can I just cut the mesh?

[@SouthernOwls]

Yes, I would recommend it. It helps seal the mesh so it doesn't fray as bad.

[@katehogg243]

Where did you buy THAT DECO MESH?.., is there a certain brand you like best of all the mesh’s

[@SouthernOwls]

I like to buy from TMI Gifts and Creek Road. Www.tmigifts.com Use code OWL20 for 20% off Www.creekroad.net use code OWL10 for 10% off
