Yardstick Swag Tutorial

Christmas deco mesh yardstick swag

[@marie-jeannelebel9431]

Hi, my name is M-J and I live in Montreal, Canada. I just found your tutorial and I am in love with your project. When you started adding the second mesh, you got all my attention. It was amazing at that point and then you went on with the bow. This is a project I might try. Thank you so much for sharing. I am looking forward to seeing more. Happy Holidays!

[@GeorgetteSwann-tw5lo]

Thank you! I really enjoyed watching you ! You did an awesome job, especially for having started only a year ago! 👏 😊

[@lindacook7373]

Thank you so much for this tutorial. I learned quite a bit, from bow making and ribbons across the body of the mesh!

[@birchlily1486]

Thank you so much for the kind words I'm glad I was able to teach you some new things! 🤗

[@antoniarivera3642]

It came out beautiful I love the white balls with the different color dots it matches the ribbon so pretty 😍 blessings🙏

[@birchlily1486]

Thank you so much!! 🤗

[@lynnst.laurent2879]

Excellent, Excellent, Excellent work...love watching how you pit it together! Can't wait to make one.

[@birchlily1486]

Thank you!! I hope yours turns out beautiful!

[@lindamack6431]

you're learningike everyone else us just watch keeping g it simple she is the one that started it

[@birchlily1486]

I try to keep it simple so everyone can hopefully follow along and keep up. I do understand though, that I might not be for everyone and that is ok! 🤗

[@janncorley1776]

If you would zoom out your camera we could see more of how you were doing the swag. 🥰

[@joyceblessinghohstadt1066]

I liked it and I do love the way you made the bow.

[@marycarignan9767]

This is beautiful. I have to say when you started the ribbon I could not imagine those patterns working together and they are awesome!

[@birchlily1486]

Thank you so much!! Sometimes you just have to think outside of the box and not be scared of mixing and matching colors and patterns. This was hard for me to learn. Lol

[@rebeccawalls8826]

Love this bow and swag! You should do more tutorials you do a great job! Very natural!

[@rebeccawalls8826]

If I were to pick all that up I’d lose it for sure!🤤

[@cynthiahodder6238]

I watched the whole video.. it made me want to make this kind of bows..I struggle with them so bad ..and yes good ribbon is expensive..so dont want to waste any...I will definitely try your method thank you for sharing 🇨🇦😊

[@birchlily1486]

I struggled with bows until I got a bow maker. It definitely takes practice to get it down.

[@terrimoore2300]

I struggle so bad making bows. It's terrible. 😢

[@birchlily1486]

@@terrimoore2300 have you tried using a bow maker?

[@queeniesplace3844]

Thank you for sharing..this is by far one of the best tutorials I've ever seen 🎉❤😊

[@maryguerrero8128]

Nice work . Thanks for sharing your talent

[@birchlily1486]

Thank you for the kind words!

[@jeannecorrigan1257]

[@margaretwiedeman7160]

Hi, from windy Wyoming! Just watched the replay of ur tutorial and wanted to tell u that u did a very good job! You should do more of them. You were very informative. I hope to see more of u. I will b subscribing! 🤠

[@birchlily1486]

Thank you so much for such a lovely compliment! I'm definitely trying to work on making more, I've been swamped with orders and think about making a video after I have already started! Lol I promise to post another one soon!

[@brendabeck5848]

Absolutely gorgeous. I wish I could find that top mesh.

[@lynncrane6633]

First time watching love it 😍 please make more crafts

[@birchlily1486]

Thank you so much!! I'm hoping to get another posted this week!

[@chunkiebetz1141]

I do my swags with a pipe cleaner also down the middle.. so there is actually 3 at each 5" mark

[@Krickett56]

You did a great job, you should do more tutorials.

[@birchlily1486]

Thank you for the kind words!! I will be putting out another soon! 🤗

[@tiffjohns9612]

U did a great job and I loved it ❤️ and I'm going to try it thanks for showing

[@birchlily1486]

Thank you so much!! I'd love to hear how yours turns out!

[@debrablack6487]

Good afternoon. Nice swag! Question, though - would you tell me your thought behind cutting the base row of mesh at the end of the first side, and then starting again to complete the other side? Why not just leave the mesh as one piece to continue around the end and down the second side? Hope ny question makes sense, and my apologies if you already covered this in your tutorial. Thank you.

[@lyndasingleton9435]

Great tutorial, love it

[@birchlily1486]

Thank you so much!! 🤗

[@janbaker9418]

Love this great job would love to bows I am struggling with bows.how many rolls for one swag

[@birchlily1486]

OMGOSH I struggled with making bows as well. I got a bow maker and that definitely helped. As far as how many rolls, it's all up to you. I like bigger bows so I will use 5-7 different kinds of ribbon. The great thing about crafting, is there really is no right or wrong way.

[@awalker5098]

Thank you for this tutorial. Do you only use wired ribbon or a mix of both to make the bows?

[@fannyalfaroarias7636]

Cuanto centímetros se deja de un pliegue a otro??

[@donnahasse8385]

Donna from Iowa and I enjoyed the video and was wondering where you got the line green ribbon with the dots? It's the next 2 the last ribbon.

[@birchlily1486]

Hi Donna! That ribbon came from decoexchange.com

[@sweetpea5253]

Love it!!

[@birchlily1486]

Thank you!

[@claraivey1732]

How many inches apart?

[@barbaratiekenheinrich7200]

This is my opinion it’s way too busy! Wow 😯 you’re idea is there but way still way to busy.

[@janbaker9418]

I am confused you cut your mesh 10 inches for the ruffle for the wreath I thought you used a whole roll

[@birchlily1486]

I used a 21 inch roll of mesh for the base, which uses a full roll. Then I take my 10 inch mesh and cut it at 20 inches and use those for my ruffles.

[@venitabrowning9841]

What size ruffle would you do for the yard stick using the 10inch mesh

[@birchlily1486]

I cut my 10 inch mesh to 20 inches. You could even go up to 25 if you're wanting it to really stand out.

[@shanat8408]

Good technique tutorial but I couldn’t see much for camera placement. Everything was chopped off. I skipped a lot too. An hour is a long time.

[@birchlily1486]

This was my first tutorial ever. I completely understand about the camera placement, I'll work on that for the next one. As for the length, that's just how long it took. I watch tutorials all the time that are as long or longer. However, I do appreciate the criticism! 🤗

[@rebeccapellman4673]

More is not always better ! I think this is too much ! Just my opinion!
