Wow! I’m watching these videos of Teacher Leanne she made them years ago.❤❤I don’t make any flower’s arrangements, however, I like to watch her live videos since I found them last year.
This is an excellent video, Elizabeth! It shows the basics of wiring and taping flowers which is a foundational skill in floral design. We're so pleased that you enjoy watching our shows and there are many of the in our library so can choose what you like. If you want something thematic we also have playlists which you can find here: www.youtube.com/@FlowerSchool/playlists There are lots to choose from. Thank you very much for spending time with us and if you ever happen to be looking for something, please let us know and we'll do our best to help you find it. Cheers to you and to fabulous flowers too. We hope you have a peaceful and lovely week!
Wiring and taping is one of those foundational skills that we want our students to master, Tracey! We're so glad you found this video useful while you were studying for your course. Thank you for watching this show and learning more about how it's done. We hope all is going well in your coursework, and please do let us know if you are looking for anything else as we'll be glad to help you find it. Wishing you all the best, and hope to see you on Live on Wednesday if it works with your schedule!
Whatever this young lady is making it isn't enough. Her voice is so reassuring and comforting. Not direct and demanding as some teachers are. She goes slowly and makes it super easy to understand. She should seriously do audio books on relaxation she'd make a mint. I am not kidding. She has exactly what it takes to be #1 doing this. I listen to relaxation tapes and no one I've heard can beat her! I honestly had a really bad headache when I began watching this video, to learn to wire and tape for crochet flowers. My headache is now gone. Leanne you are a godsend! I learned something and got my headache treated at the same time. Now a subscriber. I will be applying your techniques to crocheted flowers to give them more realism. Thank you so much!! I am totally serious about that audio books that isn't a joke.
We're delighted that you think so, Rachel! Not sure if we shared this with you already, but we do have an entire playlist of Tulip Tuesday Tips that you might find useful as well. You can find it here: ua-cam.com/play/PLJbJF6YZAYyIu416FxxucQV9lMrcr7Sqb.html We want our Tulips to be able to work in smart and effective ways, and these help you get there. Thanks so much for stopping by to watch our show and we invite you to join us whenever it works for you. Sending you best wishes for a stellar week!
We agree with you! It is a truly important skill in floral design and fundamental to everything you create. Thank you so much for stopping by to learn the basics of wiring and taping flowers and we hope that you will join us for more floral education whenever you can. Sending you kind regards and please have a wonderful week!
We are so glad you think so, Jan! Wiring and taping is a fundamental skill in floral design and mastering it will help you with nearly every floral design project you do.

Leanne - your videos are so clear, fun and informative. Sadly I am in the Seattle area or I would feel compelled to take a class! Just by watching your videos recently I was able to make a few silk flower pin & wrist corsages for the holidays. I look forward to learning more - through your "online" school! Thank you.
That's marvelous news, Julia, and we hope your holiday pin and wrist corsages were a beautiful success! Thank you so much for watching our shows and for learning more about floral design.

So happy you enjoyed this piece on wiring and taping flowers, Lydia! It is such an integral process in floral design. Thank you very much for watching our show, and we look forward to having you with us again soon for more floral tips and techniques.
You are amazing!! Thank you so much for your tutorials. You are extremely creative. I'd love to learn from you. Where is your school located? I hope that I can try as creative with your beautiful online classes.

So happy you could join us for our show, and we hope to see you again soon for much more fabulous floral design with Leanne!
Thanks for the video! I love Carnations in wedding bouquets but every time I use them some of the heads snap off after I have arranged and taped the bouquet. Should I be wiring the carnations if they are for a bouquet? If I do then that means they can't stay in water until I give them to the bride and I live in a hot area.
Hello White Orchid, and thank you for watching our show! For most of the flowers in this video, Leanne used 22 gauge wire. As she mentioned earlier, we generally use three different gauges of wire in the Flower School classroom. For heavier flowers, we use 18 gauge wire, which is the thickest size. For very delicate blooms, we use 26 gauge wire, which is the thinnest and lightest wire. In general, 22 gauge is perfect for more wiring and taping projects as it is neither too thick nor too thin and it holds the flowers well. We hope this information helps and we wish you the very best with your floral designs. Hope you have a marvelous week and we look forward to seeing you again soon!

Yes, you must be gentle with carnations. Try keeping them low in the bouquet and cushioning the blooms with foliage.
Thank you 🙏
Thank you for watching!
very educational
Thank you very much for watching our show, and we hope to see you again soon for more marvelous and educational floral design with Leanne!
