Royal florist Philippa Craddock's Christmas wreath making tutorial | House & Garden

[@aiai-j7i]

Wonderful! A proper tutorial without the distraction of choppy editing or a soundtrack... I feel like it is okay again to be an adult with an attention span. Philippa is so elegant and lovely and what a gorgeous wreath she made indeed!

[@jordanxfile]

"An adult with an attention span." Very well said. Not every single thing on the internet needs to be gimmicky to get viewers' attention. Plain and simple can be so refreshing.

[@Hope-uq1vn]

I have a thing about wreaths, I have to confess i am absolutely blown away by this particular one, it has to be the most stunning one i have seen.

[@hummerklein4902]

My sweetie husband who passed 4years ago used to go with me foraging now I don’t go by myself But watching you has been beautiful Thank you for the memories God bless you and yours.

[@sweetpeanmolly]

What a beautiful soul she is! Lovely tone of voice which I found most therapeutic! Green is a healing color and the variation in her finished product is stunning! Thank you ♥️🎄♥️🎄♥️🎄

[@teressacooks7928]

Hands down the most beautiful natural wreath I've ever seen😍 Thank you for taking the time to show us, and more importantly "explain" the mechanics/reason/thought process behind making this stunning wreath!

[@sanhitadatta9447]

I totally agree. I am going to see this over and over, for many years.

[@bethhoogland1823]

My thoughts exactly! Exceptional explanation ...

[@terrycourtney8011]

Absolutely beautiful demonstration and wreath design. Please explain how to manage this wreath as it begins to dry out.

[@ursulakelleher7771]

Clear and easy to follow directions.... now all I need is lots of greenery. Thanks for sharing!

[@GoogleAccount-hz2co]

That was a beautiful wreath that you made with the foliage. I enjoyed watching your tutorial, you have a very soothing way of instructing on wreath making. This week I went foraging And made a few wreaths. Your tutorial inspired me to improve on my foliage wreath making. Thank you

[@Lhyatt1000]

I have been making wreaths for years - but yours is much bigger and fuller! I am excited to mimic yours this weekend!

[@sheilaackers3854]

Thank you I can almost smell the greenery.

[@louisechainey2940]

This is absolutely wonderful, thank you so much. Usually tutorials never show the WHOLE process, especially the last few pieces and how to make it all look seamless. These last two pieces always let my creation down ... not anymore.

[@elsagrace3893]

This is lovely. Excellent explanation. This lady likes accentuating the length of her face. She is wearing the perfect hairstyle for a chubby round face.

[@revonda5204]

This absolutely the best wreath making video I have seen. I love that she not only tells you what to do but what not to do, but most importantly THE WHY! I'm a question asker too, so this appeals to me. She undoubtedly loves her work. ❤ Thank you!!👏 Well done. Merry or Happy Christmas from US!

[@rosastratton6503]

Thank you for sharing, I’ve been decorating my house with fresh greenery from my woods for many years. I don’t spend money on wreaths or garlands anymore. There’s nothing like walking in the forest and getting fresh branches of different types of pine trees. I also add branches of lavender, holly berry, lambs ear, Rosmary. My house smell amazing and ready to celebrate Christmas by December 1. Your wreath turned out beautiful! 🌲 Merry Christmas 🎄

[@stacey_d]

The wreath is lovely. Your voice has a calm, gentle tone, making this video enjoyable as well as informative.

[@GoogleAccount-hz2co]

I totally agree with your statement. Her voice is so pleasant and calm.

[@claudiacossetto9518]

ES VERDADERAMENTE HERMOSA LA CORONA , ME HA ENCANTADO SEÑORA !!!MILLL GRACIAS POR COMPARTIR ESTA BELLEZA NATURAL°°°°°°°

[@stephenwilliams1269]

This tutorial for anyone who is attempting wreath making either for the very first time or returning after many years is ideal. Most informative and delivered in a very relaxing way. Philippa has a wonderful voice I played it twice. I look to more content from her in professional non pretentious way that simply shows being classy is far more effective than in your face over the top antics of many video bloggers of today, Thank you House & Gardens and a big thank you to Philippa. Merry Christmas.

[@paulapeeler3157]

This was absolutely wonderful. Your voice is so comforting, which makes it easy to follow. I was so inspired to put my wreath together. But I used faux greenery. Thank you ☺️

[@leadupont8588]

Watching this from my small Parisian appartment during our second quarantine. The sight of all this greenery and the soft poised voice is so soothing 💚 Thank you

[@nonresistantgrace]

The wreath is beautiful and I enjoyed her detailed tutorial very much, but what was most enjoyable and rather relaxing was watching her sweet demeanor, lovely voice.

[@annelouise4639]

Absolutely delighful! Green is my favourite colour - all shades - and your wreath is so gorgeous. 💚 Thank you for this excellent tutorial, Philippa!

[@ritatocta7583]

House & Garden...you are really delivering good content. Some magazines when in the KZbin world Skip on quality but you have great content with great video audio, a good team behind!

[@bluewaterpines8323]

Thank you for commenting. I agree wholeheartedly.

[@perfectcirq]

Forget my list of cleaning and chores - I gotta go make a wreath!!!! Beautiful!!!

[@hollygismonde]

This was wonderful to watch. She was so happy creating the wreath and it turned out beautifully! This was informative and beautiful to watch

[@panoreapan470]

[@emilybitzel7242]

Gorgeous Philippa! Thank you for sharing and teaching.

[@noellem3417]

13:43 So true! Gardening and working with plants to make beautiful things is hugely therapeutic. It's keeping me sane these days!

[@helenshahrokhi3931]

I enjoyed every second of watching you making this beautiful wreath! You’re such a wonderful teacher and have so much talent. Thanks for sharing your knowledge! ♥️

[@sm3296]

I live in a small mountain town with very little to offer in the way of supplies or greenery such as this, but I did go foraging in the forest and get some cedar, pine, spruce and fir. I made the bases out of twisted dogwood which is a lovely red shade. How I’d love to have such a wonderful work space and abundance such as this. It’s so beautiful to see. Thank you for sharing your tips.

[@aiai-j7i]

That sounds like the ideal situation, actually! I bet it smelled so good! I wish I had some nature nearby...

[@sm3296]

@@aiai-j7i you made me realize that whatever I think is better than what I have is often just what someone would wish for. Thank you, getting back on my gratitude game. Happy Christmas to you.

[@anita0702gurian]

This was our gift! thank you,it was a big pleasure!

[@ritatocta7583]

[@shrimptempuraasmr3742]

The wreath is absolutely beautiful and you have the most soothing voice.... I enjoyed the tutorial... Thank you so much

[@chitowngirl9288]

going for walk in woods in the countryside and making my Fall wreath today. Absolutely beautiful and so relaxing to watch this Saturday AM. Kudos!!!!

[@mariecrowe8843]

Absolutely stunning and so wonderfully offered. I’m wreath making next week now I can’t wait.

[@judyanderson7489]

The wreath you made is the most beautiful wreath I have ever seen. ❤️

[@oseasviewer7108]

Lovely tutorial - I now have the important tips on how to improve my annual wreath construction - I used to wire each swatch of greenery and then secure it to the frame - your technique creates better continuity and flow. The downside of wreath construction is that large swathes of nature areas will be denuded. I indulged in judicious pruning: and often used bay tree sprigs and lavender for a fragrant wreath which even as it dried out it still held its form. Two comments about presentation: it is worth taking the time to arrange your hair and gently slide on an alice band (faux tortoiseshell compliments a brunette) to secure those wanton strands of hair and reduce the need to rake ones fingers through them which only increases the dishevelled (quite distracting) unkempt look (no malice intended). Coax your hair & makeup team to experiment to give your beautiful hair more fullness, body and movement to create a balanced look and thus free your hands for the important task. PS. my on-camera continuity eye can be a blessing or a hindrance. My intention is to offer constructive comment to always enhance the presenter's overall look.

[@ernestturman706]

Very nice your voice is so calming, I watch your videos to relax and listen to you talk!

[@kimclarke5018]

Even eleven months later a beautiful creation and you make it look so effortless.

[@carmelita7348]

Absolutely beautiful. And your voice is so soothing and kind. And you are so giving and generous with your knowledge. Honestly a wonderful presentation of your lovely art. Please do many more videos. So looking forward to seeing you creating again and again. 🏅

[@lisacurran7703]

Thank you for your wonderfully thoughtful and insightful tutorial, I was able to create a stunning wreath using your generously informative and gently reassuring instruction.

[@mylifetimephotograph]

These days so many take walks in the neighborhood everyday. I myself have enjoyed the beautiful decorations on the homes I pass on my walk. So many will enjoy your holiday designs that you did not think of. Happy Holidays!

[@janetteash8155]

Thank you that was wonderful. Your sweet voice and demeanour was enjoyable, like sharing a visit with a friend. The wreath turned out beautifully.

[@tammyjohnson7401]

That wreath is beautiful. And your step by step was great. Thank you.

[@sparklepea]

Thank you Philippa you’re calm and easy to understand instruction gave me the confidence to try making my own and I’m thrilled with the result.

[@lissettbonilla4847]

Simple beautiful, I appreciate your work, the patience you describe how to arrange the bunche invites me to enjoy and make it. Thank you!!!

[@carolynmarshall1968]

Beautiful wreath and love your pretty blouse too!

[@kellyy4525]

That is stunning and I am going foraging now to make my boxwood pre-bought wreath a beautiful work of art. Thank you so much.

[@bridgetprice4509]

Thank you so much. So beautifully explained and skilfully made. What an inspiration. Greetings from South Africa

[@michelelee5339]

Absolutely lovely! 💕 Sometimes the simplicity of mixed greens is more luxurious & elegant than all the extra baubles & trappings added to wreaths. This is definitely a project I would enjoy doing with my friends. Thank you very much for sharing your knowledge & giftw with us. Happy Christmas to you & your family 🌲😊

[@karenhansen1945]

Simply GORGEOUS!! Thank you for the lesson! God Bless! 💖🙏

Lovely, Philippa. Thank you and Merry Christmas.

[@LifeIsMessyImLearningAsIGrow]

This Turned out so beautiful! I believe myself to be crafty I even have diy and craft videos on my channel but I’ve never made a wreath!! I’ve always wanted to. I just find them intimidating to make for some reason. I’m watching a bunch of videos trying to learn techniques. You make this look so easy. Thanks for the inspiration to try again. I’m gonna be at dollar tree first thing in the morning to get supplies. I love learning from talented creators like you!! I look forward to watching your future videos!

[@selvaespana9611]

Hello Ms.Julie😊, you’re the best, 😀 your crafting is exceptional, thanks and God blessed you for sharing your creations.

[@martinruppenstein8945]

Thank you Philippa! you habe just inspired me sooo much!!

[@elizabethmonsees3643]

Thank you💕😊You inspired me. I usually decorate a plain wreath I buy at my local farm stand. I have also made one from greens on my land once for an advent wreath I don’t have a hazel wood where I am I usually use a metal ring from last years wreathes. I have American bittersweet on my property so I usually just use that as a base making sure there are no berries in it because it’s a very intrusive variety but it’s abundant where I am.

[@thynguyen3716]

Wow..it’s absolutely beautiful!!
