I have done the zig zag method, where you only use 18 ties, but I think I like this criss cross method even better, It will probably be my next wreath, I have to finish the one I'm working on first. You are a very good teacher, and yes, I also have a problem with my mind going faster than my mouth. Thank You for sharing your Time, and your Talent with all of us. By the way, the wreath is Beautiful.
OMG I LOVE THIS BUSY BEE METHOD. I HAVE 3 WREATHS TO WORK ON AND I WILL MOST DEFINITELY BE USING THIS. THANKS SO MUCH BRENDA FOR THE IDEA AND THANKS LORI FOR YOUR EXPLANATION ON HOW TO CREATE IT. LOVE THE WREATH. TFS
Hello Larynilsa! I’m so happy you loved the wreath and that you have learned from watching my videos. I hope you have a blessed week and please stay safe and healthy. Thank you so much, Lori.
Hello Sandra and you are so welcome. I’m happy you loved this method and it’s nice to only have to use one roll of mesh. Thank you so much and God bless. Lori.
Really like that method..very thick and just one roll of mesh! I wrote cheater notes in my notebook, with little pictures so I don't forget how! Lol! Many thanks to you and Brenda for sharing! ♥️🐰
Hello Karen! I’m really happy you liked this method and I love it because you use less mesh but still have a full wreath. Brenda is wonderful. Thank you for watching, Lori.
Love the beach wreath and criss cross method. Oh i couldnt see any of sunday's marathon on your fb page, just said you were closed. But i saw a few live videos on saturday, and catching up with the recorded videos, did anybody else have a problem seeing the marathon on sunday ? Thank you all for doing this, i am loving seeing you all.
Hello Diane! I’m so happy you love the beach wreath and thank you. The marathon was Friday and Saturday so that’s why you didn’t see anything on Sunday. I’m glad you enjoyed it and you are very welcome. Lori.
@@craftingwithhwm thanks Lori, for explaining, i got mixed up, i thought i heard you say your doing sunday also. Take care, hoping Bella is feeling better.
I love this "new" method! Loved your cheater bows too! Really loved that blue and tan mesh. Love the placement of the shells! Perfect. I'm not sure it needed the bow at the end. Beautiful bow though!
Hello Thea! Yes I think that’s a great idea and it will make it easier for you especially if you’re doing it for the first time. Thank you for watching, Lori.
Loving this. I live by a lake so my supplies will be lake related. One roll, my oh my, can't wait to try. Stay safe, be happy, and thank you for all your videos. Hugs!
Hello Joanna! I’m really happy you loved the wreath and I think a lake related wreath would be beautiful. Please stay safe and healthy and thank you for watching, Lori.
I have watch you make this wreath 10 months later it is a beautiful wreath I do need to make this wreath . But I am not sure what mesh you are using? It look like burlap ? Thank you for your time and beautiful wreath making .
Hello Beth! I’m happy you enjoyed this wreath and it’s one of my favorites. The mesh I used is called Poly Jute Mesh and I highly recommend it because its easy to use and its soft compared to others. You can find it at Craft Outlet, Trendy Tree, and The Wreath Shop however many places are low in supplies right now. Just keep checking back and you should be able to find some. Thank you for watching, Lori.
Great looking wreath so pretty Love the sign. This did turn out great as always. Thank you for another live even if it was me watching the replay. Thank you for your valuable time & many talents.
Hello Gary! You are always so kind and your comments mean a lot to me. I’m really happy you loved the wreath and I appreciate you watching. Thank you so much, Lori.
Hi Paula! You can definitely do this with a 16” wreath form and the one I used was 15” so it’s almost identical in size. I’m happy you love the wreath and thank you for watching, Lori.
I live all you wreaths and enjoy watching your videos. I was watching one where you use both 10 inch and 6 inch mesh ruffles. I wasn't able to finish watching and I can't locate it. Can you point me to the right video,? Thank you so much 💕
Hello Linda! I’m happy you enjoy watching my videos and appreciate your kind words. The only wreath I can think of where I used both sizes of mesh for ruffles is a rail wreath. Here is the link. ua-cam.com/video/ymiFtE2PVKc/v-deo.html. Thank you for watching and please remember to like and subscribe. Lori
Hello Lizette! I’m really happy you enjoyed the video. I use vine wire for my hangers and here is my Amazon affiliate link where you can find it. www.amazon.com/shop/influencer-5ef69f14. You can also use a pipe cleaner as well if you didn’t want to purchase the vine wire. Thank you, Lori.
Hi Linda! I think Trendy Tree is sold out but I found the Jute Mesh Ribbon on Etsy for you and here is the link. www.etsy.com/listing/884189423/expandable-natural-jute-wired-ribbon-2?ga_search_query=Jute%2Bribbon&ref=shop_items_search_2&crt=1. Thank you, Lori.
Hello there! My ribbons are 1.5” wide and 2.5” wide. I cut them 14” long. Make sure you use wired ribbon because it won’t work otherwise. Thank you, Lori.
Hi Lori, hope you are getting some rest and taking care of you! Was there another marathon going on this weekend? I was watching the one on "creative crafter connection".
Hello Kathy! Yes I have been resting and thank you. The marathon was on Friday and Saturday and you can watch the replays on my Facebook page anytime. I appreciate you watching, Lori.
Hello Marianne! Thank you and yes I absolutely do. I have tons of signs on my website. Here is the link for the sign and you can look at the other ones too. hardworkingmomstore.com/collections/frontpage/products/blue-water-beach-sign. Lori.
Hello Donna! Unfortunately I only had enough for one wreath but you can find most of the supplies at Trendy Tree and Craft Outlet. I am selling the sign in my shop if you would like to purchase one. Thank you, Lori.
Hi Lori, I tried to send you an email but I couldn’t get it to go through. I have a question I was hoping you could help me with. I did a curl method wreath on a takeoff off your beach wreath and I noticed after a couple days a good portion of the wreath is flat, can you tell me what I might’ve done wrong. Thank you for your time
Hello Dawn! I’m sorry you couldn’t get the email to go through and I’m happy to help you. Can you tell me exactly what you did. Did you do just curls? And how many bundles in each section? I think that you just need to push your curls to the front cause sometimes they get pushed to the back of the wreath. Also if you post a picture of the wreath for me in my free craft group on Facebook called “Hard Working Moms Everyday Craft Dreamers” then I can see a little bit better. Just tag “Hard Working Mom” so I know what to look for. I promise to help you to the best of my ability. Thank you, Lori.
Hard Working Mom hi Lori I just left you a message with a couple pictures in the group hard-working moms every day craft dreamers, it didn’t let me tag you so I don’t know if you’ll be able to see it or not but I just want to let you know there is a message there for you, thanks again
Hello Monica! That’s just the way I measure my poofs instead of using a ruler or my mat. I just hold the mesh in my hands and count to 3 while I’m sliding it through my hands. I have just been doing it for a long time but if you feel more comfortable measuring then that works just fine. I hope that helps. Thank you, Lori.
Hi Sylvia! You can add more blue in the bow and I just show my viewers my version of the wreath. It’s all about preference and what you like. I appreciate you watching, Lori.
Hello Brenda! There is no rule with having long tails on bows and it’s just a preference. It also depends on how much ribbon you have and want to use. I hope that helps. Thank you, Lori.
Hello Deborah! A lot of places are sold out right now and I get mine wholesale for my wreath kits. I’m hoping more places will have them back in stock and check back with Craft Outlet, Trendy Tree, and The Wreath Shop. You can also find them on Etsy. Thank you, Lori.
Can you tell me what's the difference between deco mesh and poly burlap I have never worked with mesh but have done alot of grapevine wreaths@@craftingwithhwm
Jackie Blewett is wonderful and she makes beautiful wreaths. I learned it from Brenda but I’m sure many other wreath makers use that method. Thank you for watching, Lori.

Hi Lora! I’m happy you love the wreath. My Ribbon Tails are 12” long. Thank you so much, Lori.
I'm going to use a different color for the 1/2 ties. I think it will
help me keep it in the correct order.
Hello Thea! Yes I think that’s a great idea and it will make it easier for you especially if you’re doing it for the first time. Thank you for watching, Lori.

Great video per usual. Question, what did you use as a hanger for the wreath? And where can I get it? Thanks
Hello Lizette! I’m really happy you enjoyed the video. I use vine wire for my hangers and here is my Amazon affiliate link where you can find it. www.amazon.com/shop/influencer-5ef69f14. You can also use a pipe cleaner as well if you didn’t want to purchase the vine wire. Thank you, Lori.
Really cool
You said the zigzag came from trendytree but did not see it what is it called?
Hi Linda! I think Trendy Tree is sold out but I found the Jute Mesh Ribbon on Etsy for you and here is the link. www.etsy.com/listing/884189423/expandable-natural-jute-wired-ribbon-2?ga_search_query=Jute%2Bribbon&ref=shop_items_search_2&crt=1. Thank you, Lori.
Thank you
What kind of wire do you use to make the hanger? Love this one!
Hello Judy! I’m happy you loved the wreath. I use antique wire for a hanger and it’s sometimes called Bind Wire. Thank you for watching, Lori.
Have you used 2 different colors with this method?
Hello Audrey! I only used one color for this wreath. Thank you, Lori.
You do some beautiful wreaths.
Hello Donna! You are so kind and I appreciate that. Thank you for watching, Lori.

Hello Kathy! Yes I have been resting and thank you. The marathon was on Friday and Saturday and you can watch the replays on my Facebook page anytime. I appreciate you watching, Lori.
I THINK IT IS REAL PRETTY COLORS FOR THE BEACH BUT I THINK THE SIGN IS A LITTLE TO MUCH IT WOULD LOOK BETTER WITH THE STAR FISH.
GREAT TECHNIQUE & LOVE THE COLORS! THE STARS & SHELLS WOULD HAVE BEEN ENOUGH WITHOUT USING THE LARGE SIGN. THANK YOU😊🏖🦀🏝
Beautiful
I’m happy you liked the wreath. Thank you, Lori.
So pretty
Gorgeous
Hello Anne and thank you. I’m happy you liked the wreath and appreciate you watching, Lori.

Oh that’s too funny lol.

Hello Donna! Unfortunately I only had enough for one wreath but you can find most of the supplies at Trendy Tree and Craft Outlet. I am selling the sign in my shop if you would like to purchase one. Thank you, Lori.

That zig zag is appropriate. You crack me up.
Thank you Alison and I appreciate you watching, Lori.
In love with this one.
Just started watching you. What is the 123 method?
Hello Monica! That’s just the way I measure my poofs instead of using a ruler or my mat. I just hold the mesh in my hands and count to 3 while I’m sliding it through my hands. I have just been doing it for a long time but if you feel more comfortable measuring then that works just fine. I hope that helps. Thank you, Lori.
unless my math is off , would it not be 24 ties instead of 18?
Hello Judy! You are absolutely right and it is 24 ties. I’m so used to doing 18 ties on all my wreaths lol. Thank you, Lori.
thank you for saying that, i was cunfused
Very Nice
Hello Arnetta and thank you. I’m happy you liked the wreath and I appreciate you watching, Lori.
thanks you
You are very welcome, Lori.
I ❤️💕it!
I can't really see the bow as it blends in to the rest of the wreath. I would have liked to see more blue ribbons for the bow.
Hi Sylvia! You can add more blue in the bow and I just show my viewers my version of the wreath. It’s all about preference and what you like. I appreciate you watching, Lori.
Is there some rule of thumb that you don't put long tails on your bows
Hello Brenda! There is no rule with having long tails on bows and it’s just a preference. It also depends on how much ribbon you have and want to use. I hope that helps. Thank you, Lori.
Can we use cheater bows on any wreath?
Hello Allison and yes you absolutely can. I used to do them on a lot of my previous wreaths and love the way it looks. Thank you for watching, Lori.
Are you having a hard time finding metal wreath frames because I am
Hello Deborah! A lot of places are sold out right now and I get mine wholesale for my wreath kits. I’m hoping more places will have them back in stock and check back with Craft Outlet, Trendy Tree, and The Wreath Shop. You can also find them on Etsy. Thank you, Lori.
Can you tell me what's the difference between deco mesh and poly burlap I have never worked with mesh but have done alot of grapevine wreaths@@craftingwithhwm
🤩 hermosa
Fantastic because I don't have Social Media. Too much drama for me. Can't wait to see that marathon on UA-cam.
Hello Mary! I agree there is a lot of drama on social media and happy to do something on UA-cam for those that don’t have Facebook. Thank you, Lori.
Didnt see blue burlap nevertheless coolest 😎
I like the cheater bows. Everything was cool
Hi Lori❤️
Hello and thank you for watching, Lori.
