[@KeepingitSimpleCrafts]

Cut fabric mesh at 22 inches. Cut ribbon tails at 12 inches. First bow tutorial- cut 7 ribbon strips at 24 inches. Second bow tutorial- cut 5 strips at 15 inches. I prefer to use the 10 inch fabric mesh. I cut my yardstick at 24 inches. 10 ruffles total I hope this helps❤️

[@briannaoduinn8902]

I love gnomes, so this is perfect for me. I like the door swag the best, but that could be because of the gnome in the center. lol Thanks so much for sharing.

[@KeepingitSimpleCrafts]

Linda Galligan thank you so much ❤️

[@brendapitts4061]

Yes I watched again and am looking for my yardstick. This turned out beautiful and I am crushing on your gnome. You make it look so easy. I hope you leave this video up so I can get the measurements. Thanks again for sharing your awesomeness and hugs from MS

[@angiebeaty9621]

They both are cute but I think I like the table center piece the best.TY and Blessings.

[@heidiespinola2669]

I like this as both a swag and for the door. For me because I don't have a separate dining room I will use it as a door hanger. These are so awesome.

[@KeepingitSimpleCrafts]

Thank you so much. Happy Sunday!

[@rosemarydixon9772]

This is quite clever, never seen anyone using a yardstick for the base, nice touch.

[@KeepingitSimpleCrafts]

Thank you. I love using yardsticks. I have been using them for my base for years. I buy mine at Lowe's for around $1.

[@karenhutzcal8698]

Both table and door swags are lovely! Like the door swag with gnome. Colors are matching so nicely! 🇨🇦

Thank you so much 🎄❤️🎄

[@monicafelton5424]

Loved the way you made the bow. Much easier to make. Thank you.

[@evelynneconrad2538]

So pretty! You got to Love craft outlet!! This project turned out perfectly! So pretty. I like it both ways, but I think door swag is my favorite. Love all of the embellishments! Great job. Thank you for sharing. Be Well my friend

[@melbalopezbeal9822]

I love the way it turned out. I love it both ways . Thank you for sharing with us , you explained it very clear and simple

[@KeepingitSimpleCrafts]

Thanks so much 😊

[@kimberlykreiser3932]

I like this as a door swag and I love the gnome. and how unique in the way you use the yard stick.

[@KeepingitSimpleCrafts]

Thank you so much. Happy Monday!

[@sherrywalton6258]

Pretty. Love all your yardstick swags. I like it better as a door swag. The mesh looked good like it was soft.

[@KeepingitSimpleCrafts]

Thank you sweet friend 🎄❤️🎄I like the fabric mesh because it doesn’t fray quite as much.

[@naomiphillips7338]

Loved this. Going to do a table arrangement using gingerbread ribbon and putting a small gingerbread house on the center and small gingerbread people in center of bows.

[@mommabearlisa4510]

Great idea using a yardstick! First time I've ever seen that done! 😘 XO from Texas! 🤠

[@debraspringers2098]

Love your yardstick swag is so beautiful love the gnome ribbon it's so cute,

[@KeepingitSimpleCrafts]

Debra Springers thank you sweet friend ❤️🎄😘

[@brendapitts4061]

Both are gorgeous sweet girl. That's a tuff question. I will say this When you swapped from door to table you knew exactly how to accommodate. Looks wonderful on your door. Then changing the placement of the bigger bow and adding the ornaments makes it a beautiful centerpiece. Both are equally gorgeous. You are so talented. That's a great way to have a reversible or double use creation. I love your gnome, ribbon, mesh and of course your beautiful creation. I'm going to try this. Thanks for sharing sweet girl. I don't have Instagram but I will be commenting. Hugs from MS

[@KeepingitSimpleCrafts]

Thank you sweet friend! Hugs! Happy Sunday!

[@jessicaatencio8202]

Hi I’m excited, it looks easy. E, gee nice swag. Love it. You’re using a yardstick, I’ll have to write this down. Your bow making is so well done. It’s the easiest that I have found. I so ever grateful for your tutorials. I find it’s easy for me. Thank you for always being so sweet and sharing. ❤️🌹🎄⛄️☃️🎁

[@KeepingitSimpleCrafts]

Thank you ❤️

[@vickiemeisinger9632]

First, I would just like to say how pleasant it is to listen to you speak❣️ You have the NICEST Voice ❣️❣️Second, I would like to say this is my first video of yours I think, that I have watched, and I am SO VERY IMPRESSED ❣️❣️ I am an educated artist and license designer, but I have been crafting all of my life, as well. You have some of the easiest bows to make I have ever seen and they look BEAUTIFUL ❣️ SO CLEVER❣️❣️. I have tried them and I was SO IMPRESSED❣️❣️❣️❣️❣️ I design for Professional Businesses, and I love making bows, but they are very time consuming and now, I can save a lot of time at the holidays, THANKS TO YOU❣️❣️❣️❣️❣️ It seems that everybody is making videos and has a new technique but everybody seems to be making it more and more complicated, but not yours❣️❣️Well, I may not be a fan of the gnomes, but this was absolutely adorable and especially because you and your daughter did it together💕 My daughter is a grown woman with her own family now, & This is something I would love to do with them. I thank you for the tip on nice place to purchase quality ribbon as I am always looking for that as well. I can’t wait to make this craft with them, too❣️❣️❣️❣️❣️ You asked us to vote on whether we liked it Best as a Door swag or a Tablerunner, and I have to tell you that truthfully, for me that’s very hard to decide. Both are so beautiful either way …..that I just don’t have a Vote❣️. I would be honored to hang this on MY door as well as have it on my countertop between my kitchen and barstools in my open style home… I always like to have something on the two-level countertop for decoration and this is PERFECT for that place❣️❣️Very clever to use a yardstick for the base! I look forward to Seeing more of your ideas, & I thank you GREATLY for THIS COMBINATION DOOR SWAG/ Tablerunner❣️❣️❣️❣️❣️ PS- I did prefer your door swag on the red door the best… Does that count? Also are used to run a business and I was bothered 24/7 in my business and I know I limit my Internet contact to strictly my email address… Thus only to be contacted by My one email address and nothing else, thus, I cannot sign up for any thing else In an attempt to win something from you through Instagram or Facebook or anything else… and since you are giving something away and ask people to sign up on those websites I am unable to do that. And I am certain that I am not alone in this. And I do live in the United States I am a retired cancer patient and I have worked 45 years and I still work privately giving what I can. In the future please think of all of the rest of us who would like to support your website on the other “standard” sites?

[@KeepingitSimpleCrafts]

Thank you so much for your sweet comment!!!😘 I have uploaded two fall yardstick DIYs recently to my channel. I try to do each one a little different. I will be doing a giveaway on my KZbin channel when I reach 60,000 subscribers. I am at 58,000 right now. I will share more information when I reach 60,000 subscribers. I do take into consideration when someone doesn’t have IG or Facebook. Most people just leave a comment and let me know they still would like to be entered in the giveaway. I am so glad you like my bow tutorials. I started tying bows over 25 years ago.😊 Thank you so much for your positive comment!!!❤️
