Thank you very much for taking your time out to show us something and to be so kind so I'll keep watching thank you
Evelyn, Thank you so much for the sweet comment. I appreciate you watching and commenting.
I see these metal wreath forms in all different shapes and sizes all the time when I film my Dollar Tree videos. I’ve wondered about all the ways people can use them. This is a great idea. I love how it turned out. I’m learning new ideas and skills from you! Your talent is inspiring. I am Happy to be learning and growing together with you.
Your comment is so sweet. Thank you!! I love all the cool crafty stuff these days.
Absolutely gorgeous. Also love your accent. Thanks for sharing. 😊
Thanks so much! 😊
I love watching your videos you explain thangs really good and the cross is Beautiful
Thank you so much! I appreciate you watching and commenting.
Beautiful love your tutorial. Thank you so much.
Thank you.
Absolutely beautiful! I myself just got a cutting glass and wood burning tool also and NOW I am super excited about trying this method!!!!!
That's awesome. Have fun.
It's a lovely wreath cross!!! Thank you for sharing ✝️
Thanks.
Your cross wreath is beautiful your instructions on how to do it are perfect thankyou
Thank you and thanks for the feedback. Glad you are here.
@@DIYDion can I ask you what kind of glue gun you have I need a new one and I like that yours stands up Does it have an on and off switch
It's a Ryobi. It's part of their One+ battery operated tool line. I love it. But it runs very hot. I used the on/off switch to cycle it on and off while using it. My favorite part is that it's free standing. No real chance of knocking it over because it's very stable.
@@DIYDion I’m using my very old one with just a wire stand and no switch always knocking it over and unplugging it I’m a crocheted and I’m retired now so I just started doing wreaths Thankyou so much I appreciate you I’m looking forward to seeing more of your ideas💜
Oh Virginia, I remember those days. If it's old it's probably covered in glue and dark brown in places. At least that is the way mine are. I still have two but never use them. Nothing is worse than having to plug in and unplug to turn off. Well, there are worse things but it's not fun. LOL Thank you so much for the kind words.
Great idea with the rubber bands!
Thanks.
I love your instruction videos! Your voice is sounds kind and it’s very clear. Thank you!
You are so sweet to say that, I appreciate it so much. Thanks for watching and for commenting.
@@DIYDion , by the way, I tried the wood burning tool to cut my deco mesh and it was definitely a fail. Much easier to cut with scissors.
I agree. It helped a tiny bit with fraying but not enough for the extra work and precautions needed.
Sooooo pretty!!!
Thank you!!
This turned out beautiful!
Thank you
Good morning, I love the cross wreath. I noticed you used poly burlap mesh. I will check out Michael’s or Jo Ann’s in Hammond for burlap mesh. Because Hobby Lobby in Hammond don’t carry it They carry metallic deco meshes and regular deco meshes of various colors. I haven’t been able to find it at Lobby Hobby. I am new to your Diy channel. I am looking forward to your diy projects. Thank you 🙏. You be safe 😷 and be strong 💪🏽.
Thanks so much for watching. So glad you found my channel. My Hobby Lobby is pretty consistent with having it. Good luck on the search. When I find good deals I try to offer it on my website. Thanks. You be safe too.
Very beautiful...I want to try making one.thank you for sharing your talent
Thank you. I am working in my Facebook page so we can all share our projects. I would love to see it if you make it. Thanks for watching and for commenting.
Beautiful!! I'm learning to make this and the video Have helped me a lot.Thank You..
Awesome. Glad I could help. Thanks for watching and commenting.
Beautiful! These would make cute bunny ears, too.
Thanks. Thanks for watching and all your comments. You were the pioneer commenter and I'm so glad you are here. They do look like bunny ears. I am working on a few things that I think misc petals look like. I will add bunny ears.
Very nice. I love the colors.
Thanks. I appreciate you watching and commenting. Very sweet!!
Very beautiful❤!
Thank you! 😊
Beautiful. Thanks for the good video.
Thank you!! I appreciate your watching and taking time to comment. Welcome to our little community. It's growing fast so you're here at a fun time.
Oh yeah
I love it
Thanks. I did not get to the bow yet. This one took much longer to edit than I expected. The wreath didn't take that long but I was playing around with the wood burning tool, LOL, so there was a lot of footage to sift through.
That's so Beautiful love it.🥰
Thank you!
I love your beautiful cross! It's so full of meaning and so 🐰🐰🐥🐥🐥🐥Spring looking# Thank you for sharing. God bless you & Happy Easter!🐦🐦🐑🐑
Thank you so much!! Yes, it is so meaningful. Did you see the Easter lily and cross wreath I did? It is one a do every year and a best seller. Thanks for watching and commenting. God Bless You and Happy Easter!!
Beautiful & great idea. TFS
Thank you so much. Thanks for watching. I had some leftover petals and just made some butterflies on my newest video. Check it out. Thanks again for watching and commenting.
Beautiful

So pretty
Thank you! Thanks for watching and commenting!
Beautiful. Love your tutorial. Thank you for sharing.
Thanks Phyllis!! I very much appreciate your watching and commenting.
Beautiful!!
Great job with the wood burning tool!
Thanks! I am going to try the wood burning tool a few more times to give it a chance. Thanks so much for watching and commenting.
@@DIYDion just make sure you wear a mask and have a window open and a fan.
@@barbaranapravnik6364 Absolutely!! That's the draw back and why it's still in testing mode for me. LOL
Can’t wait for your wood working. I have a wood burner i agree not worth the vapors and slow, nice job
And btw way you are in my mind I just started that, same colors too wish I could send you a picture so you see I’m not kidding
That is so funny! I would love to see it completed. I am working on my Facebook page to be able to direct people there to share ideas and pics.
I am so ready to do a woodworking video. Problem is, I do my projects overnights and my neighbors might not like it. LOL
@@DIYDion lol @ neighbors
What I like about you the most is your voice. Very soothing. I also like your ideas & techniques. I wish you all good wishes on your adventure & will be watching. I’m in St. Rose 🌹 Louisiana. Where are you? I am always curious about people’s accents.
Awww! Thanks, that is so sweet of you to say. I was going to specify the sweet part but it is all sweet. Truly, Thank you.
I am from Fort Worth, Texas, born and raised.
Love it!
Thank you
This is so beautiful. Can't wait to try. Hope mine turns out as well as yours. Thank you for sharing.
Thanks so much. I would love to see a picture over on my Facebook page. You got this!
Absolutely Beautiful ❤️ I hate that our Dollar Tree does NOT carry any Mesh or Burlap in 10 inches. And we have no craft store near us right now. Still waiting on our Hobby Lobby to reopen after rebuilding from the ground up after the F5 tornado destroyed our Hobby Lobby 😢😢
Girl! Craft Outlet online!!!
You can also check out my website. diydion.com Mesh is half off right now and FREE or $6 shipping.
Thanks so much for watching and commenting.
Love love love ! 💜
Thanks! I very much appreciate your watching and the feedback.
how many of the white and how many of the purple do you need because I was watching it and text her that I missed how many cuz I stopped in the middle of it so could you text me back and let me know thank you
@@evelyndavis9756 8 purple and 11 white. I keep getting certain comments that the replies disappear. So sorry.
Love this so quick and easy. Thank you so much!
Thanks! It was quick and easy, I have done several more. So much fun and so many ways to customize it. Thanks for watching and commenting.
So veryy pretty! Great video! 😊
Thanks
You made it look so simple cutting the mesh with the wood burning . I’m having a hard time cutting mine. What tip are you using and where did you get your poly burlap. Your wreath is gorgeous ❣️
It's the angled tip. I think it's the basic tip most sets come with. Apply a little pressure but it shouldn't be too much to cut it. I don't use that cutting method much, so I don't have any little tips or tricks. The poly burlap was from Hobby Lobby. My mom and aunt still love hanging it out for Easter. Thanks so much for the kind words, watching, and commenting.
Beautiful thank you for the video. I just got my frame today. And I'm going to make one to take to my parents grave.
Thanks for watching and commenting. What a lovely idea. Thanks for sharing.
another great video !
Thank you! So glad you liked it and let me know. I appreciate all your feedback!!
Thank you for the quick video that gave us great instructions. It is annoying when there is too much talking or fooling around with other things not related to the video or talking to others during the entire video. 😃😃😃😃
Pat, I could not agree more!! I like to chat a bit about the project and joke around when I crack myself up on occasion. BUT some people just go on and on. Then you skip and realize they said something important. LOL I am so thankful you watched and commented.
Beautiful, great instructions and really easy. You mentioned you would probably sale these. Just curious, how much would you sale one of this for?
I sold several for $35 & $40. The mesh part is easier to me than the floral center.
What cutting method did you choose instead of wood burning tool?
Rotary cutter and a cutting mat. It frays a bit more but not as fussy as a wood burner. I like the wood burner but rarely pull it out to use it.
New sub here, love the wreath! ❤
Awesome to hear! Thanks so much for watching and commenting.
Thank you
You're welcome. Thank you for watching and commenting, it's very much appreciated.
How many cuts of deco mesh did you use?? It was 10” mesh with 10” cuts but not sure total count of pieces used.
I think it was 18 total. 3 on each side for the crossbar. 4 on top and 8 on bottom.
Will this hold up outside for a cemetery wreath?
I think the core would hold but the edges would get tattered. There is a point it would stop so it may be OK. Great question. Thanks so much for watching.
Hello Dion, I made my cross wreath last night. One question, how do you keep the ends of the deco mesh from fraying so much? It was driving me crazy! 🤪😂
That, Gayle, is the question of the century!! Using the wood burner can help reduce fraying but I didn't think it was enough to offset the precautions necessary when using it. What type of mesh did you use? Deco mesh will fray like crazy, poly burlap a bit less. Dollar Tree mesh is the worst but deco mesh in general just frays. I just cut off as many stragglers as possible once complete and then just move on. There are ways to minimize seeing the raw edges like rolling the raw edges. This particular wreath doesn't allow rolling as an option so just accept it. I did one of these in deco mesh and choose to think of the fraying as added embellishment. LOL
I would love to see a picture of it on my Facebook page... Dion Allen Designs

Where did you buy your deco mesh
I got that at Hobby Lobby. I love that mesh.
👍👍👍👍
Thank
There’s not a JoAnns within 1.5 hours of me. Could you use the little rubber band pony tail holders instead? Also, some people say zip ties will break a Dollar Tree wreath. Have u ever had this problem?
Hi Lisa. Little rubber bands would work fine. I've seen the same ones I'm using at Hobby Lobby and Michaels. They are just little rubber bands, so whatever you can find will work. I haven't had the zip ties break a frame. I could see it happen if you pull too tight. It really comes down to personal preference. Thanks so much for watching and commenting.
That's a nice mesh. Where did you buy it?
I got that at Hobby Lobby. I love that mesh.
Beautiful wreath with simple and easy instructions. How many rolls did it take to make the cross? Thank you.
Thank you. Less than half a roll for each color. I did a couple of crosses with a gold deco mesh and probably could do another with what's left on the 30' roll. Thanks so much for watching.
@@DIYDion thank you.I just finished mine and use less than a roll of each. It turned out great. Thanks again.
@@dkstephens Awesome!! If you are on Facebook I would love to see it on my Facebook page... Dion Allen Designs.
You can order the frames online from dollar tree. I like this
I'll have to check that out? So you know how many you have to buy at one time? Thanks for watching and commenting and the info.
@@DIYDion I think they let you purchase by 4 so 4, 8, 12 etc
Cool. I'll check it out. I just don't want to buy 24 at time or something like that.
Here's my wreath
Would love to see it.
How much poly burlap do you need for this project?
One roll is plenty. Thanks so much for watching.
Would you sell a Easter cross made in specific colors of course?
I would love to. Feel free to email me and we can discuss further. You can link from my website or just use

Thanks for watching and commenting.

:)
Do you attach them to the 2 inner bars
Yes ma'am. The two inner bars. Thanks so much for watching.
How long did you cut the deco mesh
Hi thanks for watching. 1:54 is where I talked cutting. It's a 10" mesh cut at 10". So a nice square piece. I'm not good at remembering to put measurements in the description. I may make a To Do project. Thanks again.
Dion what kind of burning iron you have or use
It is a Darice Woodburner. I watch enough videos that I should know all the stuff I should mention. LOL It's so weird being on this side of it. I will improve with all the great feedback I'm getting from my subscribers/community. So much fun!! Thank you for the comments and questions.
@@DIYDion thank you for all the help
You are a very sweet person
Pam, Thank you for the kind words. I made the bow video. I hope you enjoy it and can pick up a trick or two.
@@DIYDion yes I seen it
It was a perfect way to make them
Do you cover the back of the wreath?
Great question!! There are some wreaths I MUST cover the back but this one was pretty clean. The only issue was where the flowers were added. I hot glued a 2"x6" strip of the white mesh along the horizontal part of the cross. Thanks for the question and for watching.
I'm buying one and a glass cutting board.
Just do it in a ventilated area and a mask...
It's lots of fun so go crazy and be safe. Thanks for watching and commenting.
How many rolls do you need to make a cross
Less than one. It does not take much at all.
What size r u cutting your mesh
10" cuts. Thanks so much for watching.
What is the size of your mesh is it 8”
10" mesh cut to 10" pieces.
Is it cut 8x8
10"x10"
yeah it is hard time you usually find them at Christmas but could you tell me something could you use pipe cleaners to hook them on instead of zip ties I mean cuz I mean I have hundreds of players and I was but I got a lot of zip ties too but what do you use the tiniest the ties and can you text me back and ask you what you think would be the best cuz I've watched almost all videos with the fat zip ties I'm in the fat pipe cleaners that look fuzzy like a caterpillar or the regular ones and they put them on the beginning the front of the reef so could you please text me back and tell me what you think I just didn't want you to see you get sick with that fumes from that I thought you might use one of them cutters like a pizza cutter thing all right thank you
You're so sweet to worry about me getting sick from fumes. I usually do use a rotary cutter (like a pizza cutter) but I thought I would do something new to give it a try. I like trying new things on the videos to inspire those watching to try new things. If it doesn't work out, at least we have tried.
I think pipe cleaners would be just fine to use. The zip ties are easier on the hands for some people. That's the beauty of crafting... what works for some may not for others and we can each figure what is best for us. I encourage you to try them both and see what works best for you. Thanks again for watching and commenting.
How do you add a picture of mine
I'm not sure you can add a picture here. I have a Facebook page, Dion Allen Designs, you can add it there. I would love to see it. I love seeing what folks make. Thanks so much for watching and commenting.

What is the name of your channel?
DIY Dion. I actually have that as my license plate as well. I knew some day I would start a channel but it's pretty scary and overwhelming. I dove on in and the channel is just over 7 weeks old. Thanks to sweet people like yourself, it's growing faster than I expected. Thanks so much for watching and commenting, it helps the channel grow. So does posting videos, LOL, so I guess I better get busy.
Ou je peux trouver loutil que vous prenier pour couper sa porte quel non merci ses tres jolie se que vous faite
The tool is a wood burning tool. You can get them at hobby stores or hardware stores or online. Thanks so much for watching and commenting.
Jaimerais avoir une reponse en francais merci
J'ai googlé le français vers l'anglais. je recommanderais cela pour traduire ma réponse
If I was you I wouldn't use a wood burner for that smells and stuff cuz there's so much stuff now that causes cancer if I was you I'd be careful good luck
Thank you sweet friend. If I do continue to use the wood burner I will definitely use my respirator from my woodshop. I think I'll stick to a rotary cutter, though.
Beautiful
