The Differences in Poly Burlap, Deco Mesh, and So Much More!

[@LorraineRegan-s7w]

HEY JULIE I REALLY ENJOYED THIS TUTORIAL, IT SHOWED ME A LOT AND VERY INTERESTING, THANK YOU !

[@JuliesWreathBoutique]

You are so welcome!

[@barbarabailey5464]

Please accept my thanks! You NEVER bore me and have great tutorials for someone who makes wreaths as gifts and not for sale i.e., many less wreaths. I need be more budget-aware, and you help with that as well. Thanks again.

[@sabrinaharris6538]

Thank You, Thank You, Thank You!!! I got my order for poly burlap yesterday, today, I have cut out my leave/petals, and attached 1 so far. I had to stop and Thank You. The poly burlap is so much easier on the hands than the deco mesh, It covers better, it cuts better with the wood burner, and it just looks better than the deco mesh. Once I use up my deco mesh, I might not ever buy anything but the poly burlap again, I Love It. Once again, Thank you for sharing this info, and your time with all of us, as well as your talent.

[@lorraineregan3000]

JULIE THANK YOU SO VERY MUCH FOR THIS TUTORIAL REGARDING DIFFERENT MESHES, IT WAS VERY INFORMATIVE AND ENJOYED LEARNING MORE ABOOUT THE MESHES. I USED DECO MESH WAY BACK IN THE BEGINNING AND DIFFERENT UNDERSTAND WHY WHEN i CUT IT IT EASILY RAVELED, I STRAYED AWAY FROM IT AND I STARTED WITH THE 5.5" BURLAP AND USED SORT OF A RUFFLE WREATH AND STUCK WITH THAT AND COLORED BURLAP ONLY THE 5.5. THANK YOU FOR ALL YOUR HELP AND TUTORIALS, YOU ARE A GREAT TEACHER. !!! GOD BLESS YOU ! 8/26/21

This video answered ALL my questions as I’m a beginner. I unfortunately started off making a sunflower wreath for my mom’s 92nd birthday. Never having made one before. I very uneducatedly bought the Deco Poly mesh. What a nightmare for this beginner. But I fought it and pushed through and persevered. It turned out very pretty with the exception of constantly pulling off strings off of it just looking at it. You are right, it does have a mind of its own and it will let you know. You completely made sense with all the different kinds to where I feel comfortable now and am actually excited to create another one. Thank you for taking your time to explicitly explain each. Someone in GA.

[@cyndeem55]

Julie, thanks for another really helpful video. I love the idea of having a "playlist" to sort your videos by the type of mesh you are using.

[@user-wf3ce4vp6s]

Also love this idea ;)

[@cristinastevenson2416]

This is super helpful!!! In the past I just grab things at local chains and you’re right, deco mesh CAN BE FRUSTRATING! Thank you so much for doing this!

[@windfordwashington8421]

Thank you for sharing your wealth of knowledge and inspiration. Being fairly new to the wreath DIY world, I have found your tutorials to be very easy to follow with great results. The information you shared on starting a wreath business was invaluable. Also, your recent tutorial on the new curl method brought many compliments (again thanks to you) which I greatly appreciated. I have subscribed to your channel and look forward to many more inspirational jewels 😊

[@francesmartinez1576]

I been learning the wood burner, just apply pressure to the wood burner also

[@dianechafer1232]

fabric mesh looks beautiful. thanks for this informative video

[@paulawhitmore358]

Julie, this must be - know your mesh day. I’ve watched about four presentations and yours was, by far, the best I’ve seen so far. I make wreaths quite a bit and now finally understand the differences in how to cut or burn which mesh you are using. Also, the exact names of the different materials and the name of the material I prefer to use most. Thank you for doing this presentation. If this was a competition you have my vote. Your work is always beautifully done, and so neat one can tell how mindful you are that this is being sold to someone that appreciates your extra efforts.

[@JuliesWreathBoutique]

Thank you so much for your kind words, this helps me so much to continue to do what I do.

[@susanbrooks9907]

Hi Julie, I wanted to let you know that Michael's does carry the Poly Burlap Mesh. They are limited colors. Now I have been buying my poly burlap online from Craft Outlet.

[@stralitziastar4240]

Hi Julie, I'm in Scotland, am new to wreath making and this video was a Godsend. You're wreaths are truly inspirational. X

[@JuliesWreathBoutique]

Thank You! ❤️

[@normastott9149]

Thank you for sharing,very helpfull,I am new to crafting,❤

[@galewesterman1182]

Thank you so much. Well I have heard as clear as mud most of my life and that is how I felt prior to this presentation. Now the light bulb isn't totally bright but it is getting there. I believe making more wreaths will help enlighten me and paying more attention to what I am buying from whom. Thank you for your time.

[@JuliesWreathBoutique]

Then I achieved my goal!

[@christituck4409]

Thank you for taking the time to share your wealth of information, not to mention, all your tips and tricks. I can't tell you how much it is appreciated!!!

[@bettycummings1736]

Thank you just learning the difference

[@naomigillespie9906]

I enjoy watching all of your fabulous tutorials. FYI: I absolutely despise using the poly burlap because it frays to heck and back. I know that most of you lady crafters use a wood burner on the poly burlap mesh, but I cannot use a wood burner because I have asthma. My question is what would you reccomend using since I can't use the Poly Burlap mesh? any help would be greatly appreciated. God Bless.

[@thenatester24]

Thank you for teaching me the differences. You’re awesome 🌺

[@pamelafernandez8952]

SUPER, SUPER helpful. I am new to wreath making. I am trying to figure out 2 or 3 style wreaths that I like to make and then which mesh to use for each style. This was great. I have watched it twice and probably will a couple more times until I get good at what each mesh is. Thank you!

[@busybunny01]

Thank you so much for this video Julie 😘❤️ I’m new to wreath making & you have just explained the difference between the fabrics so well. Also seeing them together was helpful too. 😃👍🏽 ✂️🐰

[@laurieczoka8432]

Playlist! Yes please!

[@aliciaroot2201]

Good video! Wish someone had explained so well when I started long ago. Kind of trained my self, hit or miss. Thanks little lady☺❤💜💙💛

[@sabrinaharris6538]

Thank You for sharing this with all of us. I really learned a lot from this video, like the fact that, although poly burlap is more expensive to buy than deco mesh, it's less expensive in the long run, because you use less of it. Also that fabric mesh, is also better than deco mesh. Its a case of, less expensive is not always better, because, you get what you pay for. I will definitely rethink what I buy, and make my wreaths out of. Once again, Thank You for sharing this, I really needed it.

[@ninagreenberg9292]

Thank you for explaining the differences.

[@nancywlawson7352]

This was tremendous. Thanks for helping me to understand the differences. Hobby Lobby Deco Mesh is like you showed, it is thin and it takes more does not hold shape well

[@carlisandrews6341]

Julie thank you for breaking down the different types of mesh. I really enjoy crafting and I want my wreaths to look the best they can.

[@joefuller1478]

Thank you for letting me know

[@stufff45]

Thank you!!! You made me Smarter with this video.💞

[@adoral.libertucci2647]

This was a very informative and helpful video for choosing which products to purchase online.

[@SusanMeyer-v4j]

Thank you, and it is so very helpful.

[@klentz3936]

Thank you so much for explaining the differences between the types of mesh. Love watching your videos.

[@christinapleasant5249]

thank you so mesh for explaining the differences between all of them. I am VERY new at mesh wreaths. What do you think I should try first? I saw some of your wreaths and they are GORGEOUS!

[@patmax238]

Thank you so much for describing the differences between each material. I now have a better understanding which one to use.

[@Tinkletuner]

Thank You so very much for the video, so much information for me, a beginner! You showed mesh I didn't even know existed, and your evaluation of the mesh. It sure is better than buying mesh that doesn't give me the look I want from my mesh. Again, thank you!

[@bevbaca2495]

Thank you very much for this video. Your tutorials are amazing.

[@sheilamorgan4721]

Found this . Curious to know what is netting? Sold along with deco mesh. I learned a lot today.

[@peggyyaun3254]

very informative. I don" like to use Hobby Lobby Mesh either. It is thin and does cover well. my local store does not have a lot to pick from. Enjoy your video. Very helpful.

[@brendamacdonald823]

Thank you for this amazing video

[@kathylocklear8577]

Thanks for the video it really was helpful. I love your videos

[@karrotlucy2477]

Thank you so much Julie! Such good info and very helpful. I have all my supplies to try to make 3 sunflower wreaths for myself, mom & sister. Have a great weekend

[@rosavelarodriguez9628]

I learn so much from you!!!! You explain each product so clearly. Thank you so much!!!!

[@JuliesWreathBoutique]

Thanks for watching!

[@creativechristeen5100]

This was such a great video ❤. Thank you so much for the information

[@sandipyle2164]

Oh I wish I would of watched this video first. I am new to making wreaths. Well, I bought from hobby lobby my deco mesh. Boy dose it come apart after you cut it. It’s a tiny bit better using a wood burner. I love your videos and I’m going to order online my Polly burlap. Thanks for sharing your gift.

[@JuliesWreathBoutique]

I think you will tell a big difference, thanks for watching!

[@rayannc1121]

Thank you for showing this. I've been practicing on deco mesh. Can't wait on poly burlap

[@trendytree]

Thank you so much for the shout out Julie, we appreciate it!

[@JuliesWreathBoutique]

@trendytree you’re very welcome!!

[@valerieheyer6318]

Thanks for the video Julie. I have been wondering about all this, and you answered all my questions. You are awesome!!

[@JuliesWreathBoutique]

Thank You!

[@ginahaines6606]

i didn’t know about you had affiliate links to The wreath shop, etc. and just ordered poly burlap for the first time, to make a Julie Flower. next time,i will use your links! you are so right about the big store v online quality. and sometimes the price is better online, even with shipping.

[@JuliesWreathBoutique]

Thank you!

[@CancerWarrior23]

Finally! I now know what to look for when making my wreaths and know the difference! Thank you for this video!!

[@rosemarymills9297]

Thank you so much for the video. Very informative 😀

[@DeeDeb4]

Thank you so much for this. Yes, this was so so helpful😊😊

[@julieparrish2516]

Thank you Julie!!! This was an awesome video. I’m new to crafting and making wreaths. All the types can get confusing. Thanks so much for breaking it down and explaining the difference. I think you’re amazing. I can’t wait to make one of these flower wreaths.

[@traceysueallard3111]

Very helpful! Thanks so much Julie :)

[@marshaforsberg6889]

Your flowers are the best!👏🏼💕🌹

[@Linda-akaLinnie]

You do such a great job cutting with the wood burner. I have to wear my readers AND use a metal strait edge to cut between the lines of the poly burlap. It's frustrating but it gets the job done. Oh, and Craft Outlet is such an awesome company. They ship fast and have great customer service!

[@tonyacruse1177]

This video is so helpful. Thank you

[@donnahasse8385]

Thanks for explaining the differences, you could kinda see the denseness of the material was a difference too. It really helped when U showed the difference between deco and poly in your petal. The cove age just isn't the same, and poly easier to handle. I can't imagine a check deco mesh n how much it would unravel. Again thank it's a good video n I will prolly save n watch again for reference.🔎😁

[@JuliesWreathBoutique]

So glad it was helpful

[@jamingammy6817]

I finally figured that out last winter. It is a life saver!

[@louannjonesdeku9685]

Thank you so much I learned so much ❤️👍❤️

[@vickish6031]

Julie, I have been waiting for this video, and I thank you SO much for it. It was most helpful!!! Thanks again!

[@katherinelarini8514]

thank you, thank you, thank you... very informative... answered a lot of my questions... tfs...

[@pamnull927]

Thank you! Now I know the difference!

[@denise1194]

I know this is 3 years old, but it was very informative and helpful. Thank you.

[@karibgold5394]

I haven't ever made a wreath, but I hope to! This information is valuable, because I was wondering about the differences in all the materials and what to use! Thank you so much!!

[@kristenmcguire5959]

Timely and much appreciated, thanks so much.

[@abdippy8434]

Great information. I thought they were all the same. I have not yet made a wreath but I have plans to and I can’t wait.

[@diannestansberry]

Great information for us newbies. Thanks so much 😍

[@reneebanbury7066]

Very helpful video - thank you!

[@martaec5]

Thank you! So much.

[@lindapratt5942]

Thank you Julie’s really helps

[@csellison4gladstone]

Excellent information

[@colettewiedeman8966]

Is the poly burlap from Michael’s the same as what you use? Or is it less in quality? Thank you for all you share and teach.

[@amyboettin1218]

This is fantastic information. I can wait to make a wreath. Have a blessed day.

[@patriciatabor3762]

Loved this video but I still have a question..if you cut jute with cutter or scissors will it fray? Also, I assume any type of burlap must be cut with a wood burner because it will fray? Very frustrated with deco mesh that frays, I need a plan B. Lol

[@hopekramer3310]

Thank you so much.... this was so helpful 😊😉

[@designsbydiana9091]

Very good information 😊

[@silviadelgado5188]

julie me encanto, muy practico, excelente.

[@frantaylor1150]

What's the best that don't fray that I could use to make the angel wings?Reefi don't like the white mesh.It's Frearing all over the place

[@therebeccalacy]

Thank you so much for this!! ♥️

[@ginahaines6606]

very informative, Julie!

[@CAHM_1]

This is just what I have been trying to figure out. I just came across one of your wreath videos and have been binge watching lol. I picked up some 4 inch burlap from a dollar store to make a pull through wreath! But seems most of the other meshes I have to shop online, unfortunately. This video helps a lot seeing as I can't touch and feel all of the products at stores here. I was hoping you might have talked about the longevity of the products for outdoor use, and what products you have found success with for spraying them. I am a super crafty person but it takes me having to see something that I like to make me run out and spend money, so thanks for the inspiration I am going to be busy making next years Christmas gifts!

[@JuliesWreathBoutique]

Poly burlap is probably my favorite to work with but with any product it depends on how much sun and weather gets to a wreath. I do like to spray mine with clear rustoleum matte acrylic spray. This will help with the fading but you should always test a piece of the material first.

[@dianeosbourne8692]

Great video, thank you for taking the time to do this. Very informative.

[@wanntabebetter]

I did find poly burlap at Michaels during Christmas

[@2280lilly]

I'm a newbie to your channel, thanks for the info, very helpful. I love alllll your petal wreaths, tfs

[@kelder012]

This was extremely helpful Thank you

[@saramedina8396]

Thank you for the information. I didn’t have a clue that there were so many types of burlap. 😂 I’m a newbie in the crafting world

[@DFord-ej9vy]

what would you use the yellow poly burlap check mesh for?

[@dawnstomski5690]

I went to Michael's yesterday and they have Poly burlp mesh

[@kathyjohnson8822]

Hi Julie. Thanks for the explanations. I don’t see the link to Michelle’s channel or the link to your pumpkin wreath tutorial.

[@JuliesWreathBoutique]

Check the description box again, I just added them.

[@sharwil49]

Great comparison Julie thanks so much. Would you mind Mentioning the brand of rotary cutter you use please!

[@JuliesWreathBoutique]

You will find my choice of rotary cutters in my amazon affiliate store here: www.amazon.com/shop/julieswreathboutique

[@jackiekristoff2880]

Hello, Love this video thank you so much for the information. One question though, can all of these be hung outside in the weather or are there only certain types that are waterproof? Thank you Jackie

[@JuliesWreathBoutique]

Poly burlap is probably the best for outdoor use then deco mesh behind it. Natural Jute burlap will always need protection from the elements.

[@jackiekristoff2880]

@@JuliesWreathBoutique Awesome thank you so much for the info. ❤❤

[@rhondawolfenbarger3267]

Thanks Julie, I needed the info and you explained it just right!!!

[@janethallmark109]

Also at: Amazon.com, like 15 diff colors, 10” x 10 yds, as last w asm$9.99; Etsy.com, diff prices, diff colors. Thanks for video. Do you like using jute burlap? And does it keep its shape? The wire in the jute will help, but will it keep its shape over time? Thnx for all your videos. I like educational videos. Thnx again & have a marvelous day!

[@JuliesWreathBoutique]

Jute will eventually break down and loose its form, if it had wire in it then it may hold up better.

[@beverlyheaney2982]

How big are the square size? Great video!

[@rondaprescott9935]

New to your videos but love them. Can you tell me about your measuring mat and what is on top for using your wood burner?

[@RomeoKimberly]

Thank you, for the informative information.

[@chuckenglish2794]

So,... THANK YOU for this ❤

[@md2ak2tx]

Thank you so much for making this video! I stumbled across your wreaths on Pinterest on Saturday and by that night, I had binge watched your videos on here and ordered supplies from Craft Outlet to make my first wreath. Your videos are amazing, and you explain everything so well. By chance, do you have a video focused solely on different ideas for the centers? Thank you again for the videos and inspiration!!!

[@JuliesWreathBoutique]

Well thank you so much for Watching. I don’t have a video for the different centers but this seems to be a highly requested video so I need to put that on my KZbin list.

[@Kristensfamily22]

Do you have a newer list of who carries poly burlap or the type of deco mesh that the stores are carrying now. I know michaels carries it now but wondering if others are too and just call it something else.

[@Unseeable_]

Thank you thank you I so needed that explained to me

[@anteahs1]

Just the answer I was looking for. I started making a wreath with deco mesh and was like… this is not quite right. Lol How do you keep it from fraying?
