I have the Gina K wreath builder and I thought she was a genius for creating it and I love it and use it a lot. I couldn’t believe my eyes when I saw you just make one so quickly like that! You are brilliant! That’s above my Alzheimer’s brain!! Absolutely love the card and envelope too! I don’t know how you can come up with new videos everyday especially with 2 little ones!! You are Amazing and I love watching you everyday! Thank you so much!!❤️

[@sweetsarah9702]

I also have the Gina K wreath builder but have never used it. How sad for me to spend that money and not get any use out of it, when I could have done what Natasha did for no money at all. Love, love, love all of Natasha's videos. What a wealth of information and ideas she has!

[@ot9228]

@@sweetsarah9702 oh yes I agree! She is amazing! But please use your Gina k builder! I use mine all the time! Once you get in the grove it’s so so easy! I use it when ever I can’t think of something to make at the moment. I’m not good enough with numbers and perception to do what Natasha did but she has given me so many ideas! I can’t believe how she does it everyday!! And I love listening to her sweet little voice lol.

[@valthompson9035]

GREAT idea!! Thanks Natasha!!!

[@expressivepaper]

You are a clever girl! Brilliant!

[@ninyawoodhouse5769]

This is an absolutely awesome idea!! Can make any size!!

[@blackitten2]

This is absolutely gorgeous!!!! I love it!

[@nanalaurarau1541]

Natasha you make things look so easy. I fussed over making a 'wreath' shaped card till i had a headache. you just use your ingenuity and bing-bang-boom! presto and done. Such a creative mind Love ya' !

[@bettyswinford5886]

Love the round envelope!!!!

[@loisriveron6742]

Thank you so much, Natasha, for showing us how to make this template! I've thought about buying the wreath builder tool, but didn't feel it was a great "value-for-money" : ) since I would only use it occasionally. I actually used a cereal box, so my template is super sturdy and best of all... FREE!! I couldn't wait to try it out and made a BEAUTIFUL card that was so easy to make. Thanks again! Crafty-Hugs, *Lois

[@lissetsanchez5316]

Wow! Lovely Natasha! What a nice card. Looks very expensive and well made. Thank you for sharing! 🌺

[@Louisianagirl_1126]

Thank you for showing us how to create WITHOUT using dies. You are appreciated.

[@kayworley8130]

You are a genius! So simple and using what you have. I love how this turned out, thanks Natasha

[@christieoertel1589]

Thx Tash liked the colours too have a great day

[@TexasSandog]

What a great "make it" idea!!! I'm looking forward to trying this out!! Thanks for sharing! You Rock!!

[@susansquires1863]

Love the round card plus I do that with my envelopes 😜

[@qtem1]

So magnificent Natasha ! I have never tried to make a circular card and I really love yours. Thank you 😊

[@gezzieb8992]

Thank you for this Natasha. Some very useful tips and techniques that I’ll definitely try

[@denizehalfpenny8642]

I have been making inked and stamped wreaths since lockdown started. I make hearts mostly but circles too in sizes 120 square right up to wall art 30cm square. Every wreath is unique and every wreath has an array of pretty colours and stamps from all different sources. I m hooked!

[@htmorrison9271]

What a pretty and special card! I love it...and the technique is brilliant! I sure didn't know where you were going at the start! LOL!

[@maryespeland9627]

I kept putting off buying a wreath builder because of "Just another piece of equipment I don't use all the time!" Thank you for this tip! I am going to try this today!😁

[@jackierodreddaway3178]

Thanks Natasha I have 3 sizes of Gina K Wreath builder they are fabulous your circle card was amazing and the envelope trick too TFS cheers Jackie from Oz😊

[@jennifershaffer7366]

I worked tirelessly on creating a cut out on my machine and you created it simply in like 5 mins..this is why you. make the videos and I watch them 😜

[@shugsbug]

Amazing Natasha, you never cease to amaze me. I di make my own before, but your way looks easier. Love what you did with the envelope

[@rhondita95]

This was a great hack and you made it look so easy! Thanks, Tasha

[@dfmlees]

Great pretty card. I make my own envelopes but never thought of doing what you did. Great tip. Thanks.

[@mintea2779]

Thank you for this . You could get the center of the square by linking the diagonals on opposite corners before you cut out. ❤️

[@michalchapmanramsey450]

This is a brilliant tip! Thank you for sharing.

[@StephanieBargelski3015]

LOVE!!!

[@charlottesilber1687]

How cute and easy to make a wreath maker. TYFS

[@ginagibson8600]

A very lovely card. Thank you for sharing this clever alternative to buying a template. I can't afford to buy everything I'd like to have. Lol

[@michelleadamchak1330]

Awe Tash, thank you for posting this. This is absolutely brilliant. It reminds me of the Gina K wreath maker, but your version is so much more practically priced!! Heartfelt thanks for this timely video. I need to make a pet sympathy card, and this technique is perfect. 🧡🦋🧡

[@raceandrodeo]

Me too 😢

[@wilmadiaz5517]

Thanks for sharing, such a clever way to DIY the wreath builder! 😊 I love your videos!

[@OneHope4Heaven]

Love it! Just beautiful.... those ink colors plus that blue envelope ... wow... it would have been cool to do a border of that blue around the wreath as well... a sort of frame... Love all the techniques used as well! So helpful, especially making the hexagon & sizing down the envelope. Thanks!!

[@ellenschmidt3005]

This is so clever! I made a wreath builder with my Silhouette, but this is a perfect alternative!

[@maureenhadfield9315]

I really enjoyed this video and plan to make a card using your method. Fabulous as always ❤ Thank you Natasha x

[@pamtamburello4007]

I don't mean this in any sort of negative way, but I was way more thrilled to see you create the hexagon shape than I was about the wreath. I saw a KZbin video, sometime last year, where the lady made a hexagon shaped box card. I absolutely loved it, and though I rarely do this, I ordered some hexagon dies right away! I was so dissapointed (and disgusted with myself) when they arrived and were way too small for what I wanted to make. I just put them aside and they've yet to be used even though I've seen you use hexagon shapes on your cards in previous videos. However, the technique you showed today for the hexagon is just the size I want to try and make a box card. Thank you! Your completed card today was lovely and I'm sure I'll try to make something similar in the future. I have the Gina K wreath maker too and, sadly, have rarely used it. I have enjoyed your videos from the very first one I watched and have been inspired by many of them. You've taught me so many useful little tips that I use almost every time I craft. Thank you so much for everything you do.

[@janedgcomb4348]

a hexagon has six sides. Natasha made an octagon today - 8 sides.

[@MissChelle]

You are awesomely brilliant! Thank you. I knew there was a way to do this, I just didn’t know how!❤️🇦🇺

[@lynnb1108]

Thanks I was just about to sit down and figure this out ...so yeah thanks for the great ideas

[@cazee100]

Love love love how you made the wreath template, so much better than buying ANOTHER piece of kit for occasional use! You make it look reasonably easy to make so shall definitely be having a go at this myself. You never cease to amaze me with your ideas! Thanks and stay safe x

[@grandmanette9503]

Your right?

[@mandiscards444]

Did you think of how to do that octagon? Mate - you really aced it! 😍

[@jackyd6194]

Lovely tutorial x

[@cherylstephens6199]

Love you card and the wreath template. Also how you altered the envelope.Thankyou for sharing once again. Take care and stay safe.

[@teresaparmenter8500]

This was amazing I can’t wait to try it and the envelope was so easy

[@karenjudy6936]

I have a wreath maker that I think I've used one time. Where were you before I bought my wreath maker? LOL This was a fantastic tutorial! You are truly amazing and fun to watch.

[@momofschnauzers]

One thing is for sure ... that template is definitely a keeper, after all the work you put into making it. The round card is such a refreshing change and the colour choices were perfect.

[@jac4YouTube]

I cut up an old (extra) Cricut mat that I had that works perfect in my Misti stamping unit it has the just right amount of stickiness to hold down paper. Also I made my own wreath builder using Gina K's as a idea to make my own (2 squares - one on top of the other like a star shape)

[@bellnorton1691]

Very nice.

[@geripayne7431]

Hi Natasha, in order to "see through" your circle, cut a piece of acetate first, then set your circle on top of the acetate and line it up. That should help with the perfect placement.

[@Buncobuddy]

Also, if you have a Cricut, you can cut acetate into a 7 inch hexagon from shapes. I just did.

[@barbaramcmillan9243]

Great tip 👍👍

[@karminakarminae1939]

@@Buncobuddy it looks like you missed the whole point here. She specified that her version is mainly for those not having a digital cutting machine or even a set of hexagonal dies . Out of your ivory tower are people living on tight budget looking for alternative to expensive and most times useless overpriced supplies .

[@nancymcculley8674]

Thanks! I’m going to make a template right now to put with my supplies.

[@dalewalkey8269]

Great tut! Thanks!

[@connievore9255]

Great idea

[@prentzess]

I already have a wreath maker, but I forget to use it! Thanks for the inspiration.

[@janieness5158]

I love your encouragement of not only using what you have, but to also let your imagination run wild. Lovely card and great tip for the envelope! Thank you for sharing 🙂

[@Buncobuddy]

It's so easy to buy Natasha a coffee -- try it!😘

[@NatashaFooteCreative]

Thank you Toni, I appreciate it so very much!

[@kadderkatch-vl3hh]

I’ve seen movable circular tools, and they’re expensive! Circular patterns aren’t my thing generally either so this template is super! And downsizing an envelope to fit 🤯. That’s why I craft, and you have a successful KZbin channel!! 😅 Thanks Natasha! 🥰

[@JoPuttPutt]

Hi Natasha...was watching some of your previous videos and saw this DIY wreath template idea. Going to make one right now!! I think some Easter colored flowers would look nice. You're the BESTY...😀😀

[@craighobson9329]

Beautiful Natasha!!! I will definitely be making myself a larger jig now after seeing how easy you made it look. I do own some made from mylar but the largest aperture only fits a 4x4 piece of card. I've always wanted to create larger wreaths and now i can. TFS xXx

[@junecarter7115]

Brilliant work, Natasha. Love all your videos. Not good with words now so don’t send many comments. 😍

[@NatashaFooteCreative]

This comment is absolutely perfect and very much appreciated June xx Natasha

[@anneguilmaine1043]

i know I said it before but here it is again, YOU ARE AMAZING!!! Thank you!

[@nolaallan8381]

Loved this video as I was trying to make a template yesterday but your way seems to look so easy

[@megancastro84]

Thank you so much for this! Any way I can diy it first, I try.

[@melvinnieves1964]

I love your channel because you always use and stretches your supplies.

[@adorableadornments1101]

I did buy the wreath maker from Gina K, but I also made my own on my cricut using Acetate sheets and it worked okay, but wasn't quite as thick as the Gina K ones. It is entirely possible to make your own as you have shown. You are a genius girl.

[@sandiarmstrong8879]

I have a wreath maker but I like your idea better. Thank you for sharing

[@marilyncruz7679]

See, this is why il love you so much. You always have a way to save me money for supplies that we really need. Thank you so much 💓

[@sandrashaw8343]

Brilliant Natasha, I was looking at the wreath maker today but didn't want to pay the price for the amount of use I'd have got from it. Thank you, I will be making my own. X

[@christinelatham5973]

@NatashaFoote - I LOVE this idea!! Thank you so much for all of the wonderful tips and tricks you share with your audience!! I recently found your channel and have watched 45 - 50 videos in the past two weeks. I received my Big Shot Plus yesterday and can’t wait to make some cards (I have to go purchase some card stock first!) that are inspired by you. Have a blessed day!!

[@Jenifer.flute20]

I bought the Versafine Clair in warm breeze today (that color in particular because I don't have a real)!and the Versafine Onyx Black ink and they're my new favorites. I am gonna go buy all the Clair inks.

[@NatashaFooteCreative]

The warm breeze is one of my absolute favs!!

[@renilesley]

Wow. Love it. Thanks as always Natasha 😁

[@janicerepass6996]

This is so pretty and a great idea for the technique. Here in the US, it costs extra to post an "off-sized" envelope, or a square envelope, so I put my square and round cards in a regular-sized rectangular envelope, but I put some double-sided tape on the inside to keep my card from rolling around. So basically, I am shortening the envelope on the inside only.

[@NatashaFooteCreative]

Oh i Just read this in a comment above..I didn't realise that. So maybe only do this trick when hand delivering! lol. Good idea to shorten the inside of the envelope only.

[@leeyadrick4469]

I have a Gina K wreath builder and you have just encouraged me to start using it more. Your card is beautiful!

[@brendaelainewaddell1682]

Natasha, I loved this card. I do have a wreath builder template but haven't used it too much yet. Great card and demo for the template. Thanks so much. 😊

[@lynnscraftycorner]

Thank you for this great idea. I shall be giving this a go. I ve already got something in mind for it. Xxx

[@junemiles7586]

Love this idea, I've never seen it before but will definitely be trying it out very soon. Thank you. X

[@tinawakefield9477]

So much more satisfying to make your own items,and keep your money in your pocket! Absolutely lovely card Natasha,thank you for sharing🌸💐

[@janetingacollins6409]

Wow! I was just looking at a turnabout stamp today, and this is almost the same thing. Thank you for showing a DIY version. So cute and love the round shape 😍

[@bobbiejunge1871]

How do you come up with all these wonderfuld ideas?? This is beautiful and so different! 💕

[@mjcarroll3773]

Awesome tutorial! Thank you so much for sharing this! ❤️

[@lyndasoar4345]

nO way!! ... did you just make an 'any size' octagon in 2 minutes ? ... I'm ashamed of my spending so much money on 'nesting' dies, and to never have the exact size required... many thanks for sharing this... gorgeous result on your card & great envelope idea too... :)

[@leekendel]

Great video, thanks. I have a wreath maker, but, if I had seen your video first, I wouldn’t have bought one. Like your technique.

[@rondabolding2105]

This is probably my favorite card and instructions for everything you included. Start to finish I love what you have done. Thank you so much!

[@jostrauss9999]

Hi - love your homemade jig! You are so very clever. Thanks for all the great ideas you present. I honestly feel that you're the most creative KZbin paper crafting demonstrator online. And your children are an extra added bonus to your videos. I love when the little hands appear from nowhere! You've mentioned the Stick It sheet video several times recently. I've looked for it and haven't found it. Could you provide a link to that video for us? Thanks so much. And thanks for introducing me to Woodware Stamps. I'm crazy about them and have accumulated quite a collection thanks to you.

[@sherylosullivan9619]

I fell sleep watching this video last night. (It was 11pm, I wasn’t bored!) So I rewatched this morning. Looks like this will be one of my projects for today! Thanks Natasha.

[@kakylong2]

Natasha, Great video!

[@vickiwillems3928]

Years ago, I made my own wreathmaker jig with a cut out center. Then, when funds were available, I purchased the Gina K Wreath maker jigs. I use them sporadically, but it's nice to have them.

[@christiedecker2724]

Thanks for the DIY Wreath Maker Tutorial. Yes, I am going to make one for myself, maybe more than one in different sizes...and the round card idea is intriguing too...maybe I'll be making some of them as well. Blessings!

[@beverlyball6403]

Fabulous Tash, I wouldn't go out and buy a wreath maker but I'd make one of these! You are SO clever, thank you ever so much for your great tutorials. You always encourage us to use what we have, it is one of your strengths, the kiwi no. 8 wire ability to make something out of very little. Big hugs. Have a wonderful day.

[@monicaduncan3979]

Thank you, I love your ingenuity and philosophy of prioritizing craft dollars. I love the the look of the wreath stamping, but didn’t want to buy one more tool.

[@rizaepfiefle5362]

TY for this card. I didnt want to buy a wreath maker template as they are so expensive. You just gave me the knowledge and nohow to make my own template when I need one!! Such a money saver... And I got to see you make another gorgeous card at the same time.... Thank you, thank you, thank you.

[@barbaramuckle9841]

Lovely card, clever way of doing it. I find that if you cut a tiny sliver off the bottom of the back of the card, then it won't rock about whilst being displayed. ❤

[@sharonjohnstone5758]

BRILLIANT IDEA! Thankyou so much for sharing. Where and how do you come up with these ideas, BTW, what money saver too!

[@donnajosephsonblatz5058]

Brilliant wreath builder hack. Lovely card. Thanks Natasha.

[@dizzinese]

I am not a wreath person but I do want to make one here and there. This is wonderful! I hope it works as easily with a square card but what size square? Just loved this template! Also the sticky sheets from the link cost as much from Ali as on Amazon which happens but rarely- also with inks if you can find them. Idk if the ones on Amazon are sticky on both sides. It is part of Jennifer McGuires must haves for her misti.

[@cindyward5105]

Great, simple wreath solution! And I think I have botanical stamp set somewhere. Owww, this is gonna be so much fun. Thanks, Natasha!

[@daynachristian8579]

I made a wreath builder out of a plastic cutting mat and I was quite surprised how easy it was to do. I love this design of just using the circle as the card. And I really love how you made the envelope to fit. That's thinking outside the box for sure!

[@skabettispaghetti5451]

Great video! Thank you for all your good engineering thinking. I would never have thought of this! I bet there's a way to do this by using a square metal die, cutting out the square, and then turning it so the corners bisect, and recutting.

[@Veronim78]

Great idea to make your own wreath builder and make a template. Looked easy enough watching you make one. But you are right why buy one if you rarely make wreath cards. I love this idea. So clever of you.

[@brendakatrein7430]

Natasha, Thanks again for a great video!🥰 I don’t have a wreath maker but this seems easy enough to create without one. I really like the envelope as well.💕 I am planning on trying to make some of these.

[@bernadettelawson2916]

I have a wreath maker but it’s size limited. This way you can customise the size. I also have a digital machine and would cut the perfect shape. But your way is so much faster. That’s a big plus for me!

[@leonahiggins5170]

Wow,wow,wow. Thank you so much for that Natasha. I have tried to make wreaths and just haven't known where to start. Have refused to buy a wreath maker , as would never get the use out of it. I know what I will be doing today. Your card is very pretty by the way.

[@charlotteundery9784]

Thanks for this video and idea Tash! It's brilliant! I'm lucky enough to have a quilter in the family, with an octagon die that's bigger than most paper crafting ones, so we're going to see how it works out to create a jig for our festive season cards later this year. Have a great week!

[@conniefossi1327]

Love this video, and the colors you chose. So practicar. Thank you. No need to purchase the wreath builder especially since I wouldn't use it very often.
