How to make a flower lantern swag- Perfect for summer with yellow and white flowers

[@glendacowles3705]

I began watching your videos last fall. You are a great teacher. I have made 89 wreaths, a cemetery saddle and a mailbox swag, following your instructions. Now I am planning to decorate a lantern with flowers. Thank you so much.

Hello Glenda! Your comment has made me so happy. That’s wonderful and you have made so many wreaths. I’m sure they are all gorgeous and so will your lantern swag with flowers. I would love to see your beautiful creations and you can post them on my free craft group on Facebook called “Hard Working Moms Everyday Craft Dreamers.” Thank you so much, Lori.

You have a great way with flowers too, it turn out really pretty I know she will love it. Floral arrangements as never been my cup of tea, when I do my little arrangements I'm satisfied. So I will be watching you closely. The ribbon combination as usually is just beautiful (Miss Ribbon Queen). Thanks so much for sharing and will be waiting for your next creation and hope you and your family have a safe and wonderful holiday. I am going with the flow so I may be crafting, finishing up house work, organizing the garage to setup work space for my jewelry (want to do so metalsmithing this summer, I don't work in my home because of the torch and pickling pot), so I will be all over the place. Again thanks!!💐💐💐💐

[@craftingwithhwm]

Oh, jewelry awesome I have never really tried that. I bet that comes out beautiful. Thank you Dorothy

[@MultiJewelryLady]

Hard Working Mom , Jewelry is my is my money maker, I just finish my 2017 Collection. I am taking a little break to get my house in order and needed some ideas on wreaths and that's how I found you. I am also a miniaturist which is my hobby only. I stop working with my minis for a year because my jewelry inventory was getting low but I am back with balance between the two. I so sorry to go on and on but if you can produce these beautiful wreaths you can do jewelry too!!!

[@craftingwithhwm]

Oh, i may have to try that.

[@bjeannie1960]

[@craftingwithhwm]

Thank you, I have not tried that yet.

[@ginab.2326]

Love it Lori!!! That yellow color is so summer!!! Hoping you are gonna do the wreath I asked about on Sunday. I'm itching to try it but not sure how much mesh to cut or how many chenille stems I need. Lol. I went to Joann Fabrics today. They have deco mesh 70% off. Needless to say I had to buy a bunch. Lol. Also went to Dollar Tree and bought every red, white and blue mesh they had. lol I think I'm stocked for a while. I think I have 3 or 4 different wreaths I'm making all at the same time going here. Tomorrow should be a good day for wreath making. I will be done with 3 out of the 4 I hope. Lol Talk to you soon. 😃😃😃

[@craftingwithhwm]

Thank you, Gina Wonderful have fun making the wreaths today. I am terrible with buying supplies I know i have enough but i keep looking. I just need to stay out of the stores lol

[@craftingwithhwm]

Hello Pam! I got the birds nest spray from Sims Pottery but you can find them at Craft Outlet, Hobby Lobby, or any craft store. Thank you for watching, Lori.

[@MARY-tw7lh]

[@craftingwithhwm]

[@ginab.2326]

I know I should out of the stores also. Lol. I knew the mesh was going to be on sale yesterday last weekend because I was there and the lady told me to wait till yesterday. I came home and told my hubby and also told him I wasn't going back. What did I do I went back yesterday. Lol. I kept thinking I just didn't want to miss that great sale. lol it's an addiction. Lol. I'm crazy. Lol. Hope you have a great day today. Wreath making and grocery shopping for me today. Now that's one store I do not enjoy. Lol

[@craftingwithhwm]

Lol, I do not like to grocery shop either. It is just not fun. Have fun doing the wreaths

[@heatherrinks7946]

are your other ribbons also wired like the burlap one? love this.. thanks for sharing

[@craftingwithhwm]

Yes i only use wired ribbon unless I am making a tulip wreath. It is so much easier to deal with. Thank you Heather

[@heatherrinks7946]

ok sorry to be a bother but I was wondering if you could help me with how to find out if the ribbon is wired. I went to my local Wal- Mart ( the only place that is in easy driving distant) and when I looked at their selection of ribbon I was totally lost if it was wired or not. I actually was opening some to see. If you have any tricks of the trade that could help me to know which are or are not wired I would so appreciate it. Thank you so much for answering my question.

[@craftingwithhwm]

You are not bothering me. Don't ever feel that way. I am happy to help. At Walmart, they have their ribbon that is wired separately. It is where the flowers and the deco mesh are. They do not have a great selection. It will say on the spool if it is wired. If you are looking for supplies try www.craftoutlet.com. They have a huge selection and their prices are really good. Hope that helps.

[@heatherrinks7946]

Thank you so much, you have been a huge help. And I will definitely check out the website, because your so right about the ribbon selection there. Can't wait for your next project. Many blessings to you.

[@craftingwithhwm]

Blessings to you. You will love craft outlet just be warned it is hard to stay away once you see what they have. www.trendytree.com is another great one to check out. Happy crafting

[@jennifermosur6561]

Just lovely, I love the way it turned out!!

[@craftingwithhwm]

Oh thank you Jennifer

[@pamkopp3284]

I have a Lotta trouble with floral tape where did you get that at

[@craftingwithhwm]

I sell them in my Amazon store and here is the link. www.amazon.com/dp/B076NW4WPJ?ref=exp_influencer-5ef69f14_dp_vv_mw. The trick with floral tape is stretching it very well and that makes it more sticky. Lori
