Learn to make your own Applique's from scraps of Lace, flowers and bling

[@sherryj2561]

Carol, I sure understand taking care of a parent. I took care of my dad at home until he passed a year ago. He had lung cancer. Like you, I didn't want him in skilled nursing. My husband is an RN and hospice came twice a week. Anyway, these are so beautiful, you really inspire me!!!

[@refunctioncrafts4928]

It was definitely an honor to care for my mom. I’ve worked in hospice for many years and it came natural for me to take care of my mom. Wouldn’t have had it any other way. God bless you for caring for your dad. I’m sure it made his final days better

[@shannonsweeney1116]

I have watched your videos over the years and can't get over how talented yo7 are, i really appreciate you so much!😊❤

[@refunctioncrafts4928]

Bless your heart, thank you so very much! ♥️♥️♥️

[@sandirobinson9004]

I really liked being up close to your projects. It was like I was right there with you working side by side. You stayed in frame really well. Beautiful appliqués. I’m so glad I found your channel.

[@refunctioncrafts4928]

Thanks so much! ♥️😁

[@nildamarquez9946]

Your camera is in perfect position. You will never please everyone. I love your work, it’s really beautiful. Blessings 🙏🥰❤️

[@joanndankovchik4861]

LOVE the tutorial, lovely ideas, with your MAGIC, absolutely GORGEOUS, thank you!!!

[@reginabasart5080]

Hi, I’m subscribed to Lori’s channel for a while now, that’s why yours popped up. Just subscribed, beautiful crafts. I always planned on taking care of my mom when she got older, I not able to, and she’s at a nursing home. I envy the peace in your heart after paying back for all her love and sacrifice for you. God Bless you. T4s

[@refunctioncrafts4928]

Thank you so much! It was a blessing for me to have the honor of taking care of her. Bless your heart. Your mom knows you would take care of her if you could. ♥️

[@redmarilynn]

Oh my goodness! Your appliques are exquisitely beautiful - the lace you use is simply divine. Thank you so very much.

[@refunctioncrafts4928]

Thank you so much!♥️♥️♥️

[@nancyizzo2773]

Being a bitbolder, I appreciate the fact that you are closer to the camera. Really liked your video

[@refunctioncrafts4928]

Thank you Nancy! I can appreciate that too. 😁❤️

[@melllat]

I am so excited to watch this

[@jessicaharmon7838]

That is the best way i have seen so far to make these! Thank you!!!

[@refunctioncrafts4928]

So glad! Thank you so much!

[@shellywhite1929]

I'm commenting again because I commented before whole video had played. I also took care of my mom, I loved that you used the word 'balance'. It's critically important and hard sometimes to find. I also had to retire early and still have to supplement my income. Sometimes we don't realize there are others out there that have very similar situations. I'm inspired by you! This video was a long time ago, but I still wanted to let you know you are a delight!❤

[@refunctioncrafts4928]

Thank you so much friend! I was a very hard time in my life. Mom passed in 2019 but she passed peacefully here in my home. It was an honor to care for her even though she didn’t know who I was. She used to refer to me as her favorite nurse. So sweet. I would do it all over again and take the losses. I am still trying to recover financially but it will all be okay. God bless your heart. You’re one of the good ones my friend. ♥️♥️♥️

[@nancyizzo2773]

Being a bit older I like the closeness of the camera. Easier on my eyes. Enjoying your video. Thank you

[@refunctioncrafts4928]

Thank you! ♥️

[@elizabethcramer3741]

This was a great video!! I’m such a Victorian freak, lol! I was sooo involved in the making of this appliqué. It turned out beautiful. You definitely got my juices flowing. I keep EVERYTHING, ALL the bits and bobbles and I try to use them all, at some point. I love watching your videos. Keep up the great work!♥️♥️

[@refunctioncrafts4928]

Thank you so much!!!! ♥️♥️♥️

[@jeanettereynolds3151]

First time I saw this method.was a Moroccan lady on utube.making all flowers. So easily.

[@refunctioncrafts4928]

Do you remember her method. I’m trying to figure out how to make different kinds of flowers. I love making my own.

[@MariaDysteJurado]

Was starting to experience a great deal of stress from working in a hospital during Covid. Crafting helped me to refocus my energy into something beautiful. Your channel brings me such joy and inspiration. Thank you for your wonderful videos

[@refunctioncrafts4928]

I completely understand. I was working in hospice during COVID and felt so much stress as well. I’m still not quite over it. I am glad I’ve been able to provide a place for you to relax if only for a little bit. ♥️♥️♥️

Вы такая умничка и так здорово у вас получается я восторге❤

[@buckiannscreations9089]

Such inspiration! I started my channel but then my son passed in 2016 and I stopped doing everything. I started it up again and then my computer died so until I get it fixed I've been working on things but without the videos it's hard to build a channel. Anyway I'll be using your applique method on my journals and I have tons of the ribbon so I'll be making roses! Thank you EDIT: Just came back to say I made 6 roses, so quick and easy! Thank you, thank you thank you!

[@refunctioncrafts4928]

I’m so very sorry to hear of your son’s passing. My prayers are with you. You must get back into doing videos as soon as you can. It will help you heal. Hopefully you can get your computer fixed soon. Thanks for coming back to watch my channel. I appreciate you. It does take a while to build those subscribers up but a little hard work goes a long way. Plus a touch of patience. Hugs

[@kharawhitead657]

Absolutely gorgeous appliqués. I really appreciate all the gratitude you express

[@refunctioncrafts4928]

Thank you so much! ♥️♥️♥️

[@shannonfinn4316]

Hi. WIshing you good luck with your channel. Unfortunately, many of us are struggling financially and stress so I appreciate your honesty. I love the ribbon roses and will try them with some sheer ribbons I have. Thank you for doing a tutorial, they are so much more helpful than just sharing the end product. Bless you. A new subbie.

[@refunctioncrafts4928]

Welcome Shannon! These are such hard times for everyone and I do feel blessed to have people willing to share their crafting supplies with me. I love what I do and while I still have to work a regular job, I won’t stop doing what I love. I hope you will enjoy some of my other videos. 😁♥️

[@refunctioncrafts4928]

Thanks Tracy!!! I appreciate hearing that!♥️♥️

[@l.nadinebrockharris2022]

I was searching for ideas for ribbon and fabric and came across your video, love what you are doing but the view would have been better if the camera was back a little to where your hands were and not so close to the table. Love your roses 🌹 I have to give it a try and that light tan lace with the squigly's on it I have that exact lace I was looking at it this morning for a journal cover. Thank you for sharing this 😊

[@refunctioncrafts4928]

I agree about the camera angle. I have a small space right now to work in but I’m preparing to move into a bigger craft room as soon as I can get it set up. Can’t wait to have a better crafting space.

[@tieniedearham6723]

Beautiful!!!

[@iamsuzzie]

Thank you for sharing your creativity! I had to come back and watch again to make one! How do you keep from burning your fingers?

[@refunctioncrafts4928]

Thank you very much! I do burn the fingers sometimes. I try hard not to but it definitely happens more than I like to admit 😁

[@shirleyherman3698]

your placement of the camera is fine you just get out of our view a lot. Keep on going love your work!

[@refunctioncrafts4928]

Lol, thanks friend! I just have to remember to stay in one place. 😁♥️

[@KandyAllen-yn1ww]

Could you please tell me where I can get the taupe trim that you're using with the scallops and also your baby pink and yellow roses

[@refunctioncrafts4928]

I got the taupe trim in happymail but I’m almost certain she got it from TEMU. And the tiny flowers came from Birds Place on Facebook. She has stopped selling for now but I’m hoping she will start back up soon. I know it’s a seller from China that she gets them from. I’m gonna look around to see if I can find them and I’ll let you know.

[@jacquelyndevitte4992]

Those are really pretty. Camera feels upside down. Made me dizzy to watch. Going to give these a try. Thank you.

[@refunctioncrafts4928]

Sorry about that. This video was taken in a time when I was trying to figure out my camera angle

[@createa.googleaccount713]

What do you do with your finished pieces? 😍❤🙏

[@refunctioncrafts4928]

I sell most of them in my Etsy shop. Some I give as gifts to friends and family.

I like the.close up I can see.it better I had cataract surgery on my left eye this morning. My right eye will be done on my might eye.next week

[@refunctioncrafts4928]

Thank you friend. I’m keeping you in my nightly prayers and I hope you are seeing better soon. Love ya!♥️♥️

[@tracygarner9467]

your baby pink and yellow flowers , are they fabric or paper? im trying to understand all you use. also where do you get them? i am trying the ribbon roses later today after a trip to dollar tree

[@refunctioncrafts4928]

The pink and yellow flowers are paper and I get them from Kiki’s Sale which is a Facebook group I belong to. She sells the prettiest flowers and at very good prices. She does a sale at least once a month and it’s a lot of fun to be a part of. It’s a nice community of crafters who are very supportive of each other. The link is posted in my description menu.

[@cathylovitt4774]

How wide is the ribbon?

[@refunctioncrafts4928]

Thanks for asking! I forgot to say. It’s 5/8 inch

[@mckcampbell]

Who was the person to order from. I hear Debbie but I missed some of it

[@refunctioncrafts4928]

It’s Kiki’s Sale and the owner is Debbie. The link is in my description section. It will be easier to just click on that. 😁♥️♥️

[@ninaiceton2069]

A little too close.... So enjoying your video, just subscribed!!! From Halifax, nova scotia

[@refunctioncrafts4928]

Thanks for letting me know I was too close. I appreciate it very much! Nice to see someone from Nova Scotia. That’s so awesome! ♥️♥️♥️

Could you please provide the link to your 'Rose making ' video? 💖 Thank you 😊 💓

[@barbararuz7550]

Mi sugerencia es que pongas la cámara encima de tu cabeza porque eres la única que he visto hasta ahora con la cámara enfrente de ti eso hace que te veamos al revés y no se entiende lo que estás haciendo me gustaría verte al derecho ok mis saludos y mis respetos para usted gracias

[@refunctioncrafts4928]

Thank you for the suggestion. I have changed my camera view in my later videos. I was finally able to get my camera at a better angle. I do appreciate your input very much. ♥️

[@debbieknight9098]

Most cutting wasn't in frame.

[@ramonajamison8825]

I love what you are doing but you do need to back it off a little because you keep moving out of the picture. Again love what you are doing!😊

[@refunctioncrafts4928]

Yes, this video was way too close. Sorry about that. I have a few that I’ve done this on. 😬

[@barbaramiles8580]

Back up some

[@refunctioncrafts4928]

I know, sorry. I have a couple of videos where I made this mistake. ☹️

[@corryvanes5270]

ik vind de lives heel mooi maar vind wel dat u erg veel buiten beeld werkt en dat is jammer

[@refunctioncrafts4928]

I get that. I’m doing much better now because I have a table topper that is completely on screen and I know not to go off now. I feel like it has helped a lot. This is one of my older videos

[@JaniceMorelock]

As far as you camera placement....I think a bit closer is great. But I don't think you should pick things up and raise them closer to the camera. It's out of focus at times, and out of frame. Just my opinion.

[@refunctioncrafts4928]

Thanks so much! I think I have fixed the problem although I still forget sometimes. I appreciate all feedback. 😁

[@lucieleduc7520]

You’re to close but it’s ok I don’t want to be mean thank you so much for sharing xx

[@refunctioncrafts4928]

It’s okay Lucie! You’re not the first person to say that on this video. Actually it’s that way on a few. I sometimes don’t realize how close-up the camera is. So sorry♥️

[@pandigruver3060]

Yes, you are a little too close.

[@lauracolley4223]

You move off camera when you cut. Can't see what your doing

[@refunctioncrafts4928]

I know, so sorry. I forget to check. Going to place a big sign in front of me as a reminder.
