Awwww....ladies, I absolutely Love this wreath! I lost my mom a couple years ago and in my family, ladybugs represent our loved one reminding us they're watchin over us! You 2 are just sweet...thank you so much for sharing this!

[@trendytree]

Thank you for watching Denise and for the nice comment, we appreciate it))

[@DFlowers63]

Since subscribing to your channel and watching many how-to videos the girl next to you Jenny is so pretty but I hardly ever see her smile and when I do it just lights her face up and she glows. I'd love to see her smile so much more because after all she is a daughter of the King. God bless you both in your talents. LOVE THIS GORGEOUS WREATH

[@trendytree]

Dianna Flowers Thank you for watching Dianna. Carrie is my daughter and making videos for both of us isn't easy)))) It's all unscripted and unrehearsed....so she never knows what is coming next...lol

[@DFlowers63]

Trendy Tree I would mess up terribly but I think you guys do a jam-up job. Both of ya'll are very knowledgeable about the craft industry. Are all the products you all work with on your website?

[@trendytree]

Dianna Flowers Thank you Dianna. We always do tutorials using products that we sell on our website. We always start out using something we have in stock that is plentiful, but many times we do sell out of items we use, but we go ahead and leave our tutorials up because with an of them, you can substitute materials, ribbons, etc since the basic technique is the same. Here's a link to our website: www.trendytree.com Our Black Friday Sale is already in progress)))

[@DFlowers63]

Trendy Tree Aww thank you so much for responding like you do because I know you guys have so many to get to with other folks asking crazy questions like mine. I'm going to take what craft material I have home with me for Thanksgiving and try to have a little fun with my sisters. Again thank ya'll so much. Happy Thanksgiving and God bless you and your family always.

Sorry, we accidentally muted a segment in the video but it was only about measuring the ribbon strips. These strips were cut at 15"

[@trendytree]

+Sharon Wright Thanks for watching))

[@janiemccready8732]

Jennie.. sometimes my wreaths do not come out to a perfect circle once i fluff... what am i doing wrong... and I just love you.. you are so well cordinated.. speak to where we understand you and your demonstrations are WONDERFUL!!! Thanks for helping us learn.. you are an asset to the crafting industry!! Loving Wreathing!

[@trendytree]

janie Mccready Hi Janie and thank you for watching. If your 10" x 10" pieces are all the same and you pinch them in the center doing the ruffle technique, the very center where you pinched is where you secure them in the twists. Are you maybe making ruffles with some pieces and doing others on the diagonal perhaps. Or, is it your ribbon strips that is making your wreath look uneven? The ribbon strips should be all the same length, and also pinched in the center and secured in the twist by the center.

[@janiemccready8732]

no i am not doing the pieces i am doing from the rolls onto the rings and fluffing them

[@trendytree]

janie Mccready Sounds like your poufs are not all the same size then. Place your yardstick on the last twist and measure your mesh 14" (that's the measurement we use for pouf technique), and pinch together at that mark, secure in the twist. Kind of watch your poufs as you go along and make adjustments before you get completely done in case you have one too big or too little. I've tried just free-handing the poufs, but have found that we have to measure. Also I usually will put my hands underneath the pouf once it's secured and sort of fluff it out before moving on to the next pouf.

[@janiemccready8732]

ok thanks so much dear.. here is a small one i made today.. i have only made 4 wreaths so far..lol facebook.com/photo.php?fbid=885529874843638&set=a.885529744843651.1073741872.100001599024750&type=1&ref=nf

[@trendytree]

janie Mccready Try sending the link again, It doesn't work for me.

[@ArtatWorkStudios]

Absolutely gorgeous!! Thanks for sharing!

[@trendytree]

Thank you and thanks for watching, we appreciate it!

[@janiemccready8732]

just made this! I did cut the 21" mesh and had very little raveling.. it is beautiful!! will try and post a pic!!! Thanks so so much!! Yu all are wonderful!!!:)

[@trendytree]

janie Mccready Way to go! Wreathing is fun....can be addictive...lol

[@Granny-Loves-2-Hustle]

excellent job gals! i am a new subscriber!!

[@trendytree]

Thank you so much for following us, we appreciate it! We have several new tutorials planned, we just have to get the time to get them done))

[@aliwhitworth3357]

Great tutorial! I made a wreath today with lime green, dark, green, and white/gold. It looks beautiful, but I can still see the wreath form. Do you have any tips for hiding it?

[@trendytree]

Ali Whitworth If you can see see the wreath form, I would just keep adding more ruffles and ribbon to make it fuller and you should get better coverage.

[@sandraswanswanson3195]

my paper mesh was 21 by 10 yards so i cut it in half then sprayed the ends with Elmers spray adhesive . it seems to work and adds a feel like spray starch to the ends !!!!!!!!!!

[@laducesweetapple7854]

sandraswan swanson 9

[@trendytree]

Thank you!

[@kmwheeler8928]

The only mesh I have is the 21" long ones - Can I cut that in half to do the 10x10 squares? I am concerned that where I cut the edges would be too frayed to work with. Or would burning the ends keep it from fraying?

[@trendytree]

K M Wheeler Thank you for watching. I wouldn't recommend cutting 21" mesh to make the square, you're right about too much raveling. I've never tried doing anything to the ends of the mesh. The only way I would try it, would be to be making a wreath to see how you like the technique or something like that.

[@conniewilder3997]

love the ladybug and the way Jennie and Carrie work together however Carrie needs to smile more like she likes what she's doing. But all in all they are both so cute and just love what they create

[@trendytree]

connie wilder Thanks for watching Connie. The ladybug wreath is one of our earlier videos and we're always trying to improve))) It's not easy, but we love making the wreaths....we just both get a little apprehensive in front of the camera)))

[@trendytree]

Suzie Fentress Thanks for watching)) We appreciate it. This is one of our earlier videos and we've tried to improve since then))

[@evelynj.amponsah8417]

Love this tutorial I have a order for a Mickey Mouse xmas wreath and I,m doing the same colors, I,ll just use Mickey Mouse ornaments. I,m going to use the wreaths with the ties already attach. Thanks for sharing.

[@trendytree]

+Evelyn J. Amponsah Thank you, and thank you for watching. These colors are perfect for Mickey Mouse))

[@janiemccready8732]

do you think it would be ok to use green mesh instead of the black?

[@trendytree]

janie Mccready Yes I think it would))

[@janiemccready8732]

ok thanks so so much.. you rock!

[@TheMajo535]

I love your videos and I am making these wreaths to sell myself. I have a question for you, how do you ship your wreaths? I ordered some boxes, ten for $32.00. But they just seem so heavy.( Like moving boxes) Could you help me? Thank you

[@trendytree]

TheMajo535 Thank you for watching. We don't actually sell our wreaths, we just make them for tutorials. We do occasionally sell off our samples though. It usually takes about a 24" x 24" by 6" box or so to ship a wreath, just depends on the size. We buy our boxes in bulk from uline.com We usually use a 200# weight box. Anything thinner than that may result in damage along the way. It may also help if you have to ship a lot of wreaths, to secure the wreath on a flat piece of cardboard inside the box with zip ties....this will keep it from sliding around.

[@tammyfishburne4530]

Trendy Tree Is this size box for the same size wreath you are making in the ladybug tutorial? I think you said it was for a 24" wreath. Thank you.

[@janiemccready8732]

Trendy Tree was wondering the same thing.. thanks

[@trendytree]

Tammy Fishburne Sorry, for the late response....I missed this message! Yes it would take at least a 24" x 24" x 6" box to ship this wreath, an 8" deep box would probably be better.

[@sgodino1]

Did you cut the ends to the twists to keep them from showing? Or did all of the material hide them? Thanks!

[@trendytree]

Sandra Godino Sometimes the material covers them and sometimes we just let them show. But if you don't want them to show, just tuck them back to the inside.

[@debbiedesiderio6561]

Beautiful!!!

[@trendytree]

Thank you!

[@JASAMFOREVER4]

I was wondering where you got the lady bug from. my grandaughter's nickname is ladybug and i wanted to make her one. tia

[@trendytree]

Thanks for watching. I'm sorry, but we had these on our Trendy Tree website, but they are sold now. We do have some other styles though: www.trendytree.com/search?query=ladybug

[@twoawesomedogs]

Did you guys put the twists on, or were they already on? How do you know how many to use? Thanks! :)

[@trendytree]

Thank you for watching. The wreaths we use have the ties already on them. Here's a link: www.trendytree.com/work-wreaths-and-garlands/

[@kaykoffroth2031]

How do you know how many twist ties do you need an where to place them

[@trendytree]

The ties come already on the wreath form. Here's a link: www.trendytree.com/work-forms/work-wreaths--24-inch/

[@kennishajohnson9075]

is there a difference between paper mesh and woven paper mesh?

[@trendytree]

Thank you for watching. These are the same, deco paper mesh. It is a woven paper product. Here's a link to a tutorial we did showing some of the differences between poly mesh and other product, it's sort of old and we need to do a new one, we have so many new styles of product)) www.trendytree.com/blog/differences-poly-mesh-products/

[@patriciagibbs7858]

Are the bumble bees available I can’t seem to find them

[@trendytree]

Sorry, but that's one of our older tutorials and the bumblebee is no longer available.

[@boutte7872]

Can paper mesh be used on outside doors that has an eve?

[@trendytree]

Boutte78 I've used it on my back porch okay, but it has a pretty large roof. It does have a coating on it to help it be a little resistant, but it is paper. It won't last outside a long time, but I don't mind using at home outside.

[@brittanyledford5440]

What size is the polka dot ribbon ? Thanks !

[@trendytree]

Thank you for watching. I believe it was 2.5" but here's a link to the written tutorial and more description is given there: www.trendytree.com/blog/ladybug-deco-paper-mesh-wreath-tutorial/

[@loraharrison8756]

I tried to purchase the ladybugs on website but there were no results using the KG2924 number.

[@trendytree]

+Lora Harrison Thank you for watching, we appreciate it. This is one of our older tutorials and some products are no longer available. We usually leave the tutorials up since you can take the directions and just change the products used to make it. Here's a link to the ladybugs that we have left in stock currently: trendytree.cirkuit.net/search?query=ladybug

[@kennishajohnson9075]

Do you offer this paper mesh in navy blue! Im making a cowboys wreath

[@trendytree]

Thank you for watching, sorry, but the paper mesh doesn't come in navy. We do have navy Deco Poly Mesh www.trendytree.com/search?query=navy+deco+poly

[@denisegonzaba3516]

Can you just add all the layers at one time?

[@Das-uo9bl]

I do, but I criss-cross them so they are not on top of each other.

[@trendytree]

Thank you!

[@kathybrewer3182]

is the ladybug already made ?

[@trendytree]

Thank you for watching. This is one of our older tutorials, and the ladybug was a decoration that we had for sell on the website. It's now sold out and no more available, sorry.

[@kimberlyjackson2287]

What size mesh did you guys use?

[@trendytree]

Kimberly Jackson We used 10" Deco Paper Mesh. Here's a link to the written tutorial. It has SKU numbers of the products along with links where to find the items on our website. We're out of the Ladybugs right now, but have more coming in the first of the year. www.trendytree.com/blog/ladybug-deco-paper-mesh-wreath-tutorial/

[@shelleneskaggs1650]

what is paper mesh? ive looked everywhere from where im from and i cant find anywhere and no one acts like they know what im talking about.

[@trendytree]

Shellene Arriola Thank you for watching. Paper Mesh resembles burlap in texture but is made of paper. Here's a link to the Paper Mesh we have. Several colors are showing sold out, but are on order and will be arriving within the next few weeks. Most any project we do with 10" Paper Mesh, can be duplicated using 10" Deco Poly Mesh. Here's a link to our 10" Paper Mesh Products: www.trendytree.com/deco-poly-mesh-burlap-and-paper/11-paper-mesh-1.html Also here's a link to a tutorial we did explaining the differences in poly mesh...paper mesh....poly jute...poly burlap etc. www.trendytree.com/blog/differences-poly-mesh-products/ Thanks!
