The Basics of Wiring & Taping Flowers

[@elizabethguiramos7950]

Wow! I’m watching these videos of Teacher Leanne she made them years ago.❤❤I don’t make any flower’s arrangements, however, I like to watch her live videos since I found them last year.

[@FlowerSchool]

We're so pleased that you enjoy watching our shows and there are many of the in our library so can choose what you like.

[@traceydsouza4482]

Perfect this was helpful while reading my material online. Thank you Leanne.

[@FlowerSchool]

Wiring and taping is one of those foundational skills that we want our students to master, Tracey! We're so glad you found this video useful while you were studying for your course.

We hope all is going well in your coursework, and please do let us know if you are looking for anything else as we'll be glad to help you find it. Wishing you all the best, and hope to see you on Live on Wednesday if it works with your schedule!

Whatever this young lady is making it isn't enough. Her voice is so reassuring and comforting. Not direct and demanding as some teachers are. She goes slowly and makes it super easy to understand. She should seriously do audio books on relaxation she'd make a mint. I am not kidding. She has exactly what it takes to be #1 doing this. I listen to relaxation tapes and no one I've heard can beat her! I honestly had a really bad headache when I began watching this video, to learn to wire and tape for crochet flowers. My headache is now gone. Leanne you are a godsend! I learned something and got my headache treated at the same time. Now a subscriber. I will be applying your techniques to crocheted flowers to give them more realism. Thank you so much!! I am totally serious about that audio books that isn't a joke.

[@FlowerSchool]

Thank you for your kind words!

[@rachelfretz4372]

Leanne - your videos are so clear, fun and informative. Sadly I am in the Seattle area or I would feel compelled to take a class! Just by watching your videos recently I was able to make a few silk flower pin & wrist corsages for the holidays. I look forward to learning more - through your "online" school! Thank you.

I love this!!! Thank you so much!

[@FlowerSchool]

Thank you!

[@NapsRafara]

Thank you 🙏

[@FlowerSchool]

Thank you for watching!

[@LifeChurchTech]

Thanks for the video! I love Carnations in wedding bouquets but every time I use them some of the heads snap off after I have arranged and taped the bouquet. Should I be wiring the carnations if they are for a bouquet? If I do then that means they can't stay in water until I give them to the bride and I live in a hot area.

[@FlowerSchool]

Yes, you must be gentle with carnations. Try keeping them low in the bouquet and cushioning the blooms with foliage.

[@whiteorchid02]

Which gauge wire for each flower that you just wired please .

[@FlowerSchool]

Hello White Orchid, and thank you for watching our show! For most of the flowers in this video, Leanne used 22 gauge wire. As she mentioned earlier, we generally use three different gauges of wire in the Flower School classroom. For heavier flowers, we use 18 gauge wire, which is the thickest size. For very delicate blooms, we use 26 gauge wire, which is the thinnest and lightest wire. In general, 22 gauge is perfect for more wiring and taping projects as it is neither too thick nor too thin and it holds the flowers well. We hope this information helps and we wish you the very best with your floral designs. Hope you have a marvelous week and we look forward to seeing you again soon!

[@doracervantes8561]
