Wonderful Wreaths: Dollar Tree Cooling Rack Cross Wreath

Hey y'all! In this video, I'm going to show you how to make a Dollar Tree cooling rack cross wreath, using the cruffle method.
For this cross, I chose the colors purple and white. Biblically, purple represents royalty and kingship. In those days, only the rich could afford things dyed a purple color, as the dye came from the gland of a small Mediterranean sea snail. Purple is also made by combining red and blue, the red representing the physical aspects of Jesus, and blue representing Him after He entered his heavenly home. The white represents purity.

I cannot believe how talented you are! I plan to make one of these for my nephew's grave. He passed away on 10/17 and I can use this method for every holiday. I may choose to put a couple yellow flowers in the center. This is magnificent and easy to do. Thanks for the great work that you do. I love all of your wreaths and especially the cruffle look. D

Its the first part of January and you can't find the metal Cross forms anywhere unless you buy them in bulk! ( I will never use 24 Cross forms!) This is the PERFECT solution to my dilemma and very cost efficient as a huge bonus . I cant wait to make my Cross wreath!! I may make a few extra for my 4 sisters!! (Will make a stunning suprise for them!!) Thank you sooo much for doing this video!!!

[@sandrabuckley3206]

So beautiful great idea

[@momofschnauzers]

Your cross is spectacular. And I like that you don't make us watch while you measure and cut every piece of mesh and then dove tail the ends of each piece. TFS your tutorial and great idea of using the cooling racks.

[@lindadennis8296]

love your channel you have inspired me and given me so many great ideas love love love ya!!!!

[@teresonaboone8911]

This is so beautiful. Would Love to make for my families gravesite. Thank you so much for sharing. And also this Would be not to costly to do either for as many as I have to make. Even a Christmas one would be pretty.

[@yalandabray489]

Very creative, Yandy.

[@francesclark9055]

Beautiful cross, love the colors purple & white and the way you put it together so easy, thank you for sharing this diy.

[@lucilledaub5991]

Very pretty dollar tree cross.Love it

[@julieblackner2332]

Why would anyone ever give you a thumbs down your ideas and directions are fantastic!!! Love you💖

[@ThisSouthernGirlCan]

There are a lot of jealous people out there, and the only satisfaction they can get out of life is to click the little thumbs down button. Makes me happy to know that I’m in their thoughts that much.

[@lorihodgeslor444]

Probably not Christians!

[@korinnaberry25]

It’s ridiculous that there are so many miserable people out there that the only happiness they get is to try to bring you that same misery. I grew up with the old adage that if you don’t have anything nice to say, then don’t say anything at all. I also grew up in a family that were God fearing people and we were taught that you never judge a person because that’s not your job. I think the same goes with this thumb. If you don’t like the style, move on- case closed. Perhaps the thumbs down should be removed altogether but then I fear that these naysayers will spew their vile comments. I guess we should go with that other old adage Amber- you can’t please all of the people all of the time. You have the right idea girl! They think so much of you that they have to give you some attention even if it’s negative!

[@sharongeroux4128]

Great idea

[@ClosertoHeavenCrafts]

@@ThisSouthernGirlCan People are ridiculous! You are amazing! ♡ I found a couple of the cross forms at DT and now they're on the website too. I'm just wondering how much mesh I would need if I used 10 inch mesh for the cruffle method. How long would you cut the cruffles on 10 inch? How much mesh would it take if I use 10yd rolls? &If you're using the pouf/bubble method with 10 or 21 inch, do you happen to know how much mesh I'd need?

[@amberd4352]

I am so glad I found your channel. 1 you're Southern-like me- so we speak the same language (lol). 2 your creativity and ability to think outside of the box amazes me. I would've never thought 2 make a Cross out of cooling racks! Thanks for sharing your amazingly awesome ideas with us! I've got to add this one to my list of wreaths to make!!!

[@jenniferakin7203]

Awesome. Love it! Thank you for sharing

[@susiebergen2332]

[@anita_men]

Love this idea 💡 Thank you so much

[@Carodinesharron]

Beautiful...I’m learning so much. Ty

[@colleen5155]

That orchid butterfly is the perfect complimentary color to that shade of purple; very well done, so artistic! I am starting one for each of my daughters front doors at Easter - thanks for the inspiration, clear instructions and for doing a project that honors something (someONE) who means everything to me! Blessings!

[@deborahstewart3793]

So so beautiful

[@naomijacobs7616]

Beautiful! You are so crafty! Love hearing you talk. You explains so easy. Thank you

You make my day! When I feel “down” I watch one of your videos! You’re hilarious and before I know it I am grinning from ear to ear! Thank you!

[@sherrymarie2466]

I’ve seen several crosses made and yours comes out much prettier and easier to make👍

[@martysutc12]

I don't know how you come up with your ideas but I surely love them, and for those that gave a thumbs down, why don't you quite watching if you don't like her ideas, you are very childish.

[@ThisSouthernGirlCan]

It is probably because their mommy didn’t hug them enough when they were little. 😂😂 people were actually told to go attack my rose wreath video, and there are quite a few jealous people out there as well.

[@victoriajimenez6499]

Wow! What a great wreath! Thank you for sharing your creativity with us. I love watching your KZbin videos.

[@TheBerkeleyBeauty]
