Thanks for watching! Glad the tutorial was useful for you. Love re-purposing old decorations and reviving them))) Send us a pic when you're done with it))

[@theoldshedsoapworks]

I wish your volume was turned up. I'm at 100% and can barely hear you. I love what you do.

[@trendytree]

Sorry Catherine, we do our best to test equipment but sometimes we just mess up))) We'll try to do better)) Thanks for watching, we appreciate it! We need an audio/visual team)))

[@MatronTLH]

Love, love, love it! Thank you for sharing such great project ideas!

[@trendytree]

Thank you and thank you for watching! Hope you'll share our videos with your friends))

[@marilynzawojski1992]

Maybe you could could try an earpiece mic. Such as the type singers us. maybe to far down on your shirt

[@trendytree]

Thanks Marilyn, we have clip on mic that we use sometimes, we'll try those again. I think the biggest problem is my hearing. I lost the hearing in my right ear overnight this summer and it's very difficult to judge how loud I'm speaking. I'm afraid I'm shouting and probably overcompensate by speaking to quietly. The hearing isn't coming back, so I have to find that happy medium)))

[@Luvstamp07]

I love this design and it was an awesome tutorial! Thanks so much for sharing your tips and creativity with us! Lisa

[@trendytree]

Thanks Lisa, we appreciate your watching!

[@gingerrohloff6647]

If you can't hear, the CC does help some. And it is pretty entertaining what the computer thinks is being said. Ha Ha

[@trendytree]

Gosh I haven't thought about how it might interpret this Southern speech...lol

[@miasapp6806]

volume is really low ....trying to hear you

[@trendytree]

Thank you for watching, appreciate it. Lost the hearing in my right ear a few weeks ago and still trying to adjust to the sound of my voice....can't tell how loud I'm speaking(((

[@sharoncarlisle426]

is there anyway you can list the supplies you used, I cant hear a few of them you said :(

[@trendytree]

Thank you for watching, we appreciate. Sorry, but most of the supplies we used on this project have since sold out, here here is the link to the written tutorial. You can always use other styles of ribbons, etc.: www.trendytree.com/blog/halloween-lantern-topper/

[@sharoncarlisle426]

thank you :)

[@CindyBlume]

did you sell out of the lanterns and candle?

[@trendytree]

Thank you for watching. We have the lanterns and candles in stock. We have several different styles to choose from but here is the link to the lantern we used in the video and the candle also: www.trendytree.com/melrose-home-decor/wood-iron-and-glass-lantern-set-of-2.html candle: www.trendytree.com/melrose-home-decor/12-white-simplux-moving-flame-candle.html

[@CindyBlume]

oh thank you so much! I love this idea!

[@vickiemurray388]

Love, love it.😊 You alway have amazing video!!I love the color of your walls. Would you know what that color is?Tfs. Hugs

[@trendytree]

Thanks Vickie and thanks for watching. We used Sherwin Williams Requisite Gray paint on our interior walls. Carrie had her new house done in that color and we liked it, so we used it when we had our repainted))

[@trendytree]

Gosh, I assumed you were talking about the wall in the house)))) The pool house is a shade of green from top to bottom))) Not the best place to make a video but the shop where our video equipment was is just not cool enough to work in right now....we were melting...lol

[@vickiemurray388]

Thank you! I know what you mean about this heat! This heat is terrible! 😊

[@lynetteeaster1541]

i LOVE THE VIDEO BUT THE VOLUME WAS NOT AS GOOD AS IT USUALLY IS !

[@trendytree]

Sorry, I'll try to do better next time))

[@lynetteeaster1541]

i love watching and the Halloween lantern turned out so gorgeous!! :)

[@StephsDoorDecor]

Hi! Your tutorials are so much fun to watch and I learn something new each time. You mentioned using Elmer's Craft Bond Adhesive for your cut edges. Do you just spray the edges after you've been your cuts? How well does it work? Sometimes I like the frayed edge look but sometimes not so I would love to find a product that would help with that. Thank you!

[@trendytree]

Thanks for watching, we appreciate it. On the paper mesh, we sprayed at the point where all the paper ruffles had been attached to the wreath. We sprayed each piece, cut side and uncut side with the spray. You have to gently lift the out a little after spraying to keep them from sticking together. It definitely helps on the paper mesh, haven't tried it on regular deco poly mesh.

[@StephsDoorDecor]

Thank you for your reply! I will try that!

[@rhondacarter9807]

Don't know if it's my computer, I have the volumn up as high as it will go and I can hardly hear you talking.

[@trendytree]

Sorry Rhonda, it's so hard to adjust the volume between devices, maybe the next tutorial will be better. Check the volume button on the video too and make sure it is up.

[@rhondacarter9807]

I imagine it is hard to adjust, but I just wanted to let you know, thanks

[@trendytree]

Thanks, you were not the only one so it wasn't your computer))) I'll try to do better next time))

[@rhondacarter9807]

No worries, I'm sure doing videos is hard, you do a great job and I love yours. I watch them over and over

[@miasapp6806]

hard to hear you.....

[@trendytree]

Thanks for watching, we appreciate it, hopefully the next video will be better)))

[@marilynzawojski1992]

new suggestion due to such low volume. could you look at the video above and try to hear it yourself. that way you"ll now how very low it is when you speak. put it up loud and we can address our end. I bilievr if you correct the volume, you'll have a lot more viewers. Thanks you' I love your designs

[@trendytree]

Thank you Marilyn, we'll try to be more cautious with the volume))) Appreciate the input))

[@roxiemamabear]

can barely hear... oh well I'll watch & figure it out 😉

[@trendytree]

So sorry Roxie, I'll try to do better next time))
