You totally should edit your channel name to "Hard Working Mom AKA The Wreath Genie" Cause I have seen a ton of wreath tutorials and have never been able to learn like this :) That was such a beautiful wreath and I'm sure your friend is going to love it and get strength every time she sees it!! Please keep the videos coming and thank you for always being so kind to all of your subscribers.....we all greatly appreciate it!
Thank you, that is such a nice thing to say. I am so glad you are learning. I sure will keep making them. Let me know if there is anything specific you want to see
I watched several wreath makers on UA-cam. When I found Hard Working Mom, I knew I had found the best one. She is very down to earth, easy to follow along. I don’t have to stop and rewind with her.
Just wanted to say thanks for making this for my mother. It means a lot to me because your videos make her escape reality after a long day of dealing with the worse of life and when dealing with me lol. This is the third time she had cancer which breaks my heart but people like you make her help the fight cancer and continue with life to help put smile on everyone's faces. Thank you so much. Which much love from Mari and her son.
Oh thank you DJ just know i am praying for her especially this week. Praying for a good outcome. You have a wonderful mom, take care of her. God bless and keep you. I will be praying for all of you.
Rita here, I agree, you make wreath making easier, my prayers are with Marie and her family , she will get so much joy from this beautiful wreath. Thank you and keep videos coming.
Purple is my favorite color! I'm also a single mother of two who is in remission from Hodgkin lymphoma Cancer! Prayers going up to her & her family! Beautiful wreath
I am a hodgkis survivor have been in remission for 24 years.I gues I'm one of h luck ones. My payers go out to her. Keep your chin up positive thoughts
I have learned so much from the Hard Working Mom, who is so down to earth. I love all the different ways of using both the 21' and 10' deco mesh! I am always looking forward to learning more from Laurie, our Hard Working Mom! I can't wait to see how she uses the 6" mesh!
Lori, I Love the purple wreath, I too have stage 4 Non hodgins lymphoma cancer and have gone through my third relapse and 6 months of chemo again. I've also had breast cancer. When I read about your friend it reminded me of my situation which is the same. I have just started making mess wreaths and have made grapevine and green fir Christmas wreaths. I love watching your videos. My prayers for your friend Marie and her family.
Thank you, so much. I am very happy that I had made this wreath. My boys, are now even bigger. Take a look at the other videos. Be sure to subscribe share and like. Thank you 😊
You truly are a beautiful person inside and out. Your caring attitude is very touching. Love your creativity and how well you explain your techniques! Prayers for Marie. Love from Canada!
I have been making wreaths for a few years now, but you have thought me so much and make it look so easy. Thank you for all your hard work a patience to show the work slowly and a couple of times, so it is easier to understand what I’m doing. Once I get my wreaths going for the holiday season I’ll send pictures.😊
I love that you give so much detail n give it over n over. By the time you finish, I feel as though I know the technique inside n out n isn't that what we're all wanting from an instructional video?! lol Thank you so much!
This was so enjoyable to watch and is truly a labor of love and caring. I was so touched by your comments about the lady at the end of the presentation. You are a dear lady. With all you do you still share your heart with others with difficult situations. Bless you! The wreaths you make are just gorgeous. Your patience is amazing. I think I would be tying my fingers together before it was done. :) The wreaths are just gorgeous! Bless you and the little ones who pop in to visit as you work your magic. God bless Mary Lou
I want to thank you, all for all your support and all your prayers as well. Most of all to Miss Lori, for what she's has done for my mom. A little to know as Miss Lori have stated my mom is going thru her 3rd cancer. She was just in remission for almost I believe a year and not long ago she was diagnosed again. Her first was when I was still inside of her. Then 13 years later came back again and now this third time so she hasn't recovered from her last one completely. She has been a mother that any child in the world would want. She is a mom to two of us also a sister an a daughter. So my mom in order to ease her mind of this horrible cancer she gets on and watches Miss Lori. Miss Lori you put a huge smile on her fave when she saw this video. She cried and all she talked about was " that's Lori OMG she did a wreath in my awareness, OMG!!! I don't know what to say to her" she was so happy and excited she has watch this video more than anyone has watch it. So thank you again Miss Lori thank you so much for making her so happy and to be able to have many people to wish her and pray for her. Thank you so much she got to to see Bella and your kids. She always says to me every Sunday " I'm waiting to see who's going to show up at the door ( Bella and the kids) now I know why!!! Thank you again to everyone and most of all to you Miss Lori. It's been awhile to see my mom as happy as she was the other day. Don't get me wrong she makes the best at everything that comes on her way to make sure we have and make us happy. Thank you, all from her son and daughter. God bless you all as well.
Oh I am so glad i made her happy. That warms my heart. We will all keep praying for her. Please let me know if there is anything i can do for you. God bless
Hi Lori that is a super gorgeous wreath. Say hi to your lads. Purple is one of my favourite colours. The different purples and the ribbons and the brightness of the flexi tubing is fantastic. My prayers are with Marie and her family. Thanks for sharing. Have a great day.
I think I have just found the wreath method I'll be using for a Valentine's wreath I've been asked to make to be Auctioned off at my job for the March of Dimes. Thank you for showing this. Now to go find the colors I'll need.
You are so welcome, there Marcus. So, glad you have found the method. Good luck and I hope it turns out great. Don't forget to like and share. Thank you, Lori.
Hello and welcome, there Jackie. Thank you, very much, yes it sure is a beautiful wreath and very worthy to the cause and person, too. Don't forget to like and share. You are so welcome and thank you, very much, Lori.
Yes..You truly inspire me! As you sincerely put your heart and soul into your wreaths..So very becoming that you would do this for your friend! Your heart noticed, and assuredly not in vain! God Bless all Your Work! Keep the love coming! For it (LOVE) is the greatest! ❤️😉🙏🏻👏👏
I've watched n commented on this vid before, but it's so beautiful I just had to watch again n you did such an amazing job I had to comment again! LOVE your vids Lori! You are such a good teacher n your voice is so gente n patient, AND I love that you tell us the DETAILS of how we should hold this or what problems we should expect. :)
Awwwwe thanks Lori!!! That makes me feel better coming from you. But I will practice some more. The technique really isn't that hard. I want to try a Pom Pom bow next. Maybe tomorrow. 😃
What a coincidence. I just retired from work as a pharmacy tech and we had a wonderful customer named Marie who had cancer. She was the most fantastic woman.
Hello Kim! I’m sure you had a great relationship with the patients and I hope Marie is ok now and that she had a full recovery. There are always wonderful people we meet and never forget. Thank you for watching, Lori.
+Hard Working Mom, Hi Lori! I'm interested in making a deco mesh wreath and so glad to find you. I've really enjoyed the few videos I've watched so far, along with your teaching style. I was beginning to wonder if the deco mesh wreaths were a trend that had already run its course. I don't see as many now as in the previous couple years and when I looked for the mesh to buy at the local Walmart and Dollar Tree last month, neither place had it in stock or even a spot for it. I did see it at Walmart just last year. Not sure what's happening but I'm sure I'll find some online or maybe the local Hobby Lobby or Michael's. I find myself coveting your nice, organized studio and cordless drill. 😀 The drilled holes and paddle wire is a good secure way to attach the sign. If someone doesn't have a drill available, I found another way to attach signs or other somewhat awkward items to a wreath: Attach a small loop to the back wherever you'd like a place to add a wire. Cut a short piece of pipe cleaner (about one inch long), fold in half without making too firm of a crease at the fold. Mount it with hot glue to the bottom half of both "legs" pressed flat against the surface, leaving the top half open to make the loop. It should lie flat against the back of the sign or whatever else you are wanting to attach to the wreath. The glue grips the fuzzy pipe cleaner very well. Mount as many of these loops as needed. Thread a length of wire through the loop long enough to attach to wreath frame. Twist at both ends to secure. For extra stability, double the length of the wire. If the item is very lightweight and your pipe cleaners are long enough (and best if color blends well with wreath), you may be able to just glue a half inch of the end of the pipe cleaner directly, skipping the loop and separate wire altogether. Bend in an L shape at the top of the glue join after glue has dried so the bottom of the L sits flat against the object. Then attach the other end of the pipe cleaner to the wreath. The small hanging loops are also useful for gluing to the backs of lightweight items you want to hang on the wall from a small nail or even a straight pin. I made a wall grouping of some decorative kitchen items including wooden utensils and granite ware plates. Lori, making this wreath for Marie was such a sweet, special labor of love. Do you know how she's doing? I am praying for her and her family. Looking forward to more of your videos. ~ Janet
Great idea Janet another way i use is to take some felt and cut a little piece secure to the back with glue then put your pipe cleaner down and staple it down. The felt helps to prevent the staple from going through. I have found a new way too it is the product called zip tie cable mounts. They have an adhesive backing and a hole you can run a pipe cleaner through. It works great but i do add a little hot glue to keep the mount from coming loose. My Walmart hardly ever has mesh or my DT either. It is better to order online. The quality is better and so is the price. Check craftoutlet.com and trendytree,com. Mari is still struggling and still needs our prayers but she is a wonderful lady and God will take care of her. Thank you for asking Janet
Thanks for your reply. I looked at the craftoutlet website. Good prices and lots of product choices. I will have to check out zip tie cable mounts. Zip ties seem to be very popular these days. Thanks for the update on Mari.
Thank you, Janet. I have the Zip Tie Cable mounts listed on my Amazon website, I will send you the link. The aye I used a dab of hot glue to make sure they'll be secured and let it sit, they work wonderfully. Yes, they do and they also have fast shipping as well. Thank you, so much for her concern, we need those prayers🙏🙏 for everything to turn around and she could get heal. I know, God is by her side and her kids, as well.🙏 Thank you, so much, Lori. www.etsy.com/shop/DesignedbyHWM www.amazon.com/shop/influencer-5ef69f14 hardworkingmom.com/product/loris-inner-circle/ hardworkingmom.com/ hardworkingmom.com/business-training/ facebook.com/hardworkingmomtv/
Praying for Marie. God is more than able. Don't give up. Fight! Praying for healing, praying for restoration. Praying for peace, praying for joy through the storm.If there is a testimony here it is to say my daughter was diagnosed with fourth stage breast and bone cancer. She is cancer free as of right now. So all things are possible with God. Psalms 91
Donna, thank you so much 😊 this one is very special and pretty. Be sure to see today’s video in the evening. Be sure to share and like. Thank you, Lori.
I love this wreath. Question, I want to use this style for a breach wreath for a customer.. She wants blue, tan, and white. I thought I would start with the blue on bottom ring. How would you to add the other 2. She wants Shells and an anchor.
Your work is beautiful and I appreciate the time you take in showing each step. Besides the burlap deco mesh, which others do you recommend to use for wreaths and do you always spray the ends with the E6000 spray on all projects?
I don't spray them unless it is necessary then I will do it. I would use either Krylon clear coat glossy or the E6000 spray, as far as for mesh. I use also deco mesh, burlap, jute, fabric mesh too. Don't forget to like and share. Thank you, Lori.
They inspire me more than you know! I'm an art instructor bitten by the deco mesh bug and will have your link beneath my videos when I get mine done this weekend. After creating the Skellingtons for my son, I discovered your channel as seen in the wreaths. The "Star" inspired the three I am currently working on and will post photos among these by Sunday ;) facebook.com/SusanLeeBillings/media_set?set=a.10209368011053513.1073741845.1120967525&type=3 www.SusanLeeBillings.com
I love the cancer support mesh wreaths. I'm a huge fan of yours! I have a child with Autism and so do a lot of my friends. I was wondering if you ever thought about doing an Autism support mesh wreath.? I would love to see that. There is a lot of parents out there who also are sharing the same struggle I am.
Hey Kikey I do have one planned I have several videos already taped but it will be coming out in the next several weeks. I have the puzzle piece and the ribbon i'm still trying to figure out how I want to do the mesh I will pray for you I know what a struggle it is
I love your work, but was wondering where you get your embellishments. I have been to Dollar Tree, Dollar General, Walmart, Dollar Zone and Ac Moore and never see the curls on a pick and many other interesting items that you use. Thanks and keep up the great tutorials.
This is really very pretty! Thanks for taking your time and explaining the different steps I had not seen this style of wreath before. I just might try this on a much smaller scale do you think it would work? Thanks.
Love this!! The ribbon tool is such a time saver! I made one for myself. You are so talented! Thank you so much for sharing and teaching me so much! But that darn electric skillet needs to be moved! You would have that much more room! Lol!!
Prayers for Marie!! I'm sure that this beautiful wreath will brighten her life :) Just wondering...your ribbons...do you always choose/use wired ribbon and do you have a preference on the width?
Your reason for making this wreath makes you all the more real to your viewers. . Your videos are the best. If I had to limit myself to one subscription it would be "The Hard Working Mom Guru of wreaths. Bless you.
Lori the group is Dream Design Connect. Lots of pretty things posted there. You should check it out. Regina commented on the bow and said it's beautiful. Can you believe that??? That's a real compliment coming from the Pro herself. lol I still think I need some practice. Lol. I love ladybugs too can't wait to see that wreath. 😃😃😃
I love your videos and they are so caring, Praying for Marie. Is there a wreath for Demerits? My mom has it, she turned 92 this last Thursday! She lives in the nursing home where I work part time. Keep the videos coming, I learn something after watching them. On this video you said how you choose the ribbon! Your boys are cute! Again thanks for all your efforts to help us make wreaths, you are the best!,,,,🤗
Thank you, Cheri, and thank you for the prayer. I will have to look and see if there is a color or symbol for that. That is awesome that you work there part time. We moved my parents in with us 4 years ago and i take care of them.
I have a question if I wanted to do a smaller wreath frame like a 12 inch frame I wouldn't use the larger deco mesh right so could u show one on a twelve in wreath frame I got the 6" deco mesh would I still need the large? Could you possibly do one with a twelve inch frame plz
You can certainly do it with a smaller frame and you can use the smaller mesh. It will take more to cover and it will not be quite as full but it will work.
Love your wreaths! Have you ever seen the all cancers wreath? My son past away 2 years ago and he had colon cancer first and it spread to his kidneys ,liver ,lungs and brain In the end it spread to all of his body. That’s why I’d like to see if there’s an all cancer wreath with all the different colors in it.
I’m so sorry for your loss and can’t imagine how difficult that must have been for you. I haven’t seen the all cancers wreath before but I think it’s a great idea. I will look into it and see about making one. Thank you so much, Lori.
Hi Lori!!! Both your wreaths are just beautiful!!! Purple is my favorite color. Sorry it took me a while to watch your videos this time. Had a very busy weekend. Sending prayers to Marie. Just breaks my heart when young people get sick. I hope she beats this horrible disease as I hope my daughter beats breast cancer. I made a pretty decent Terri Bow tonight. I posted it on DDC. Do you belong to that group??? Regina invited me to it. Anyhoooo believe it or not I got mostly all positive comments on it so far. lol I get frustrated cause I'm not sure if I'm doing the fluffing right. I think it will look ok on a wreath I started making today. Hope you have a great week!!!😃😃😃
Hey Gina purple is my favorite too. Thank you for the prayers. I am praying for your daughter too. She is going to beat this. That is awesome on your bow. I do not think i know that group. That is awesome about your bow. I did a ladybug wreath i will put up on Thursday it turned out cute. Have a great week talk to you soon
Hello and welcome, there Susan to my channel. You can store it in a box and seal the flaps in middle and on each end or you could get a plastic container they have now at the stores for storage. They are round and made for wreaths, the only problem is that you will need to make sure they'll suit your wreaths. Don't forget to like and share. Thank you, Lori.
Hello, there Cindy and welcome to my channel. I buy from wholesalers, carolinapottery.com, Hobby Lobby, craftoutlet.com and so on. I also have my own Etsy store. Thank you, Lori. www.etsy.com/shop/DesignedbyHWM www.amazon.com/shop/influencer-5ef69f14 hardworkingmom.com/product/loris-inner-circle/
Hello and welcome, there Joyce. Yes, they do have a website and you will like it. It is called craftoutlet.com Don't forget to like and share. Thank you, Lori.
Hello and welcome, there Belinda. You may use the same cuts as well. I use also a lot of the DT frames take a look at my playlist you will find them all there it will help you with a lot of methods. Don't forget to like and share. Thank you, Lori.
Hi Lori. What is in that electric skillet you keep next to you? Also do you have any tips on unraveling deco mesh? I am having a horrible time! Thanks, Michelle
Hey Michelle it is just an electric skillet from walmart that i use as a glue pot. It is good when you work with lots of picks or flowers. The thing with fraying is the more you work with mesh the more it frays. You can spray E6000 adhesive on it or Krylon clear coat both work well. Spray several light coats it will help stop the fraying from continuing. The thing to remember is the thinner the mesh the higher risk of fraying. Try the sprays i think you will be happier.
Hello, there Donna and welcome. I’m from SC. Be, sure to subscribe, like and share. I also have an Etsy store, take a look. It’s not completely done it will be soon. Thank you. Lori. www.etsy.com/shop/DesignedbyHWM

+Hard Working Mom, Hi Lori! I'm interested in making a deco mesh wreath and so glad to find you. I've really enjoyed the few videos I've watched so far, along with your teaching style.
I was beginning to wonder if the deco mesh wreaths were a trend that had already run its course. I don't see as many now as in the previous couple years and when I looked for the mesh to buy at the local Walmart and Dollar Tree last month, neither place had it in stock or even a spot for it. I did see it at Walmart just last year. Not sure what's happening but I'm sure I'll find some online or maybe the local Hobby Lobby or Michael's.
I find myself coveting your nice, organized studio and cordless drill. 😀 The drilled holes and paddle wire is a good secure way to attach the sign. If someone doesn't have a drill available, I found another way to attach signs or other somewhat awkward items to a wreath: Attach a small loop to the back wherever you'd like a place to add a wire. Cut a short piece of pipe cleaner (about one inch long), fold in half without making too firm of a crease at the fold. Mount it with hot glue to the bottom half of both "legs" pressed flat against the surface, leaving the top half open to make the loop. It should lie flat against the back of the sign or whatever else you are wanting to attach to the wreath.
The glue grips the fuzzy pipe cleaner very well. Mount as many of these loops as needed. Thread a length of wire through the loop long enough to attach to wreath frame. Twist at both ends to secure. For extra stability, double the length of the wire.
If the item is very lightweight and your pipe cleaners are long enough (and best if color blends well with wreath), you may be able to just glue a half inch of the end of the pipe cleaner directly, skipping the loop and separate wire altogether. Bend in an L shape at the top of the glue join after glue has dried so the bottom of the L sits flat against the object. Then attach the other end of the pipe cleaner to the wreath.
The small hanging loops are also useful for gluing to the backs of lightweight items you want to hang on the wall from a small nail or even a straight pin. I made a wall grouping of some decorative kitchen items including wooden utensils and granite ware plates.
Lori, making this wreath for Marie was such a sweet, special labor of love. Do you know how she's doing? I am praying for her and her family.
Looking forward to more of your videos. ~ Janet
Great idea Janet another way i use is to take some felt and cut a little piece secure to the back with glue then put your pipe cleaner down and staple it down. The felt helps to prevent the staple from going through. I have found a new way too it is the product called zip tie cable mounts. They have an adhesive backing and a hole you can run a pipe cleaner through. It works great but i do add a little hot glue to keep the mount from coming loose.
My Walmart hardly ever has mesh or my DT either. It is better to order online. The quality is better and so is the price. Check craftoutlet.com and trendytree,com.
Mari is still struggling and still needs our prayers but she is a wonderful lady and God will take care of her. Thank you for asking Janet
Thanks for your reply. I looked at the craftoutlet website. Good prices and lots of product choices. I will have to check out zip tie cable mounts. Zip ties seem to be very popular these days. Thanks for the update on Mari.
Thank you, Janet. I have the Zip Tie Cable mounts listed on my Amazon website, I will send you the link. The aye I used a dab of hot glue to make sure they'll be secured and let it sit, they work wonderfully. Yes, they do and they also have fast shipping as well. Thank you, so much for her concern, we need those prayers🙏🙏 for everything to turn around and she could get heal. I know, God is by her side and her kids, as well.🙏 Thank you, so much, Lori.

Praying for Marie. God is more than able. Don't give up. Fight! Praying for healing, praying for restoration. Praying for peace, praying for joy through the storm.If there is a testimony here it is to say my daughter was diagnosed with fourth stage breast and bone cancer. She is cancer free as of right now. So all things are possible with God. Psalms 91
Wonderful thank you so much, Sandy. She needs God's strength and healing in her life.
Bless Marie 💞 luv and prayers 🙏💖
Your wreath is Gorgeous as usual!
Donna, thank you so much 😊 this one is very special and pretty. Be sure to see today’s video in the evening. Be sure to share and like. Thank you, Lori.
I love this wreath. Question, I want to use this style for a breach wreath for a customer.. She wants blue, tan, and white. I thought I would start with the blue on bottom ring. How would you to add the other 2. She wants Shells and an anchor.
Your work is beautiful and I appreciate the time you take in showing each step. Besides the burlap deco mesh, which others do you recommend to use for wreaths and do you always spray the ends with the E6000 spray on all projects?
I don't spray them unless it is necessary then I will do it. I would use either Krylon clear coat glossy or the E6000 spray, as far as for mesh. I use also deco mesh, burlap, jute, fabric mesh too. Don't forget to like and share. Thank you, Lori.
Prayers sent very pretty.
Thank you Donna
Special thanks for sharing ;) Your innovative designs are such an inspiration!!!
Prayers for Marie's healing ~ PTL! \0/
Thank you, Susan, I am so glad my designs inspire you. Thank you for the prayers she will be thrilled
They inspire me more than you know! I'm an art instructor bitten by the deco mesh bug and will have your link beneath my videos when I get mine done this weekend. After creating the Skellingtons for my son, I discovered your channel as seen in the wreaths. The "Star" inspired the three I am currently working on and will post photos among these by Sunday ;) facebook.com/SusanLeeBillings/media_set?set=a.10209368011053513.1073741845.1120967525&type=3 www.SusanLeeBillings.com
Those are so awesome. Love them all. I can tell you are an artist. So glad i have inspired you. Please share as you make more.
Will do and thanks for your tutorials that helped me create my first wreaths, much to the delight of friends and family!
Awesome i am so glad.
I love the cancer support mesh wreaths. I'm a huge fan of yours! I have a child with Autism and so do a lot of my friends. I was wondering if you ever thought about doing an Autism support mesh wreath.? I would love to see that. There is a lot of parents out there who also are sharing the same struggle I am.
Hey Kikey I do have one planned I have several videos already taped but it will be coming out in the next several weeks. I have the puzzle piece and the ribbon i'm still trying to figure out how I want to do the mesh I will pray for you I know what a struggle it is
I love your work, but was wondering where you get your embellishments. I have been to Dollar Tree, Dollar General, Walmart, Dollar Zone and Ac Moore and never see the curls on a pick and many other interesting items that you use. Thanks and keep up the great tutorials.
Thank you most come from www.craftoutlet.com and Trendytree.com and thewreathshop.com
Hobby Lobby, especially before Christmas!
good idea . beautiful .
Thank you Emilia
This is really very pretty! Thanks for taking your time and explaining the different steps
I had not seen this style of wreath before. I just might try this on a much smaller scale do you think it would work? Thanks.
Thank you, Sandra, yes it would work. I have done it on a smaller wreath from. It was still pretty and very full
Love this!! The ribbon tool is such a time saver! I made one for myself. You are so talented! Thank you so much for sharing and teaching me so much! But that darn electric skillet needs to be moved! You would have that much more room! Lol!!
Thank you Emily Lol you are right i need to move it. I do not use it much. I am glad you are making them, they are so much fun to do. Happy crafting
Prayers for Marie!! I'm sure that this beautiful wreath will brighten her life :) Just wondering...your ribbons...do you always choose/use wired ribbon and do you have a preference on the width?
Thank you and thank you for the prayers. I prefer the 2.5in ribbon just because it is easy to work with and it shows up well
Your reason for making this wreath makes you all the more real to your viewers. . Your videos are the best. If I had to limit myself to one subscription it would be "The Hard Working Mom Guru of wreaths. Bless you.
Aw Laura that is so sweet thank you. I am so glad you are enjoying the videos. Bless you
Lori the group is Dream Design Connect. Lots of pretty things posted there. You should check it out. Regina commented on the bow and said it's beautiful. Can you believe that??? That's a real compliment coming from the Pro herself. lol I still think I need some practice. Lol. I love ladybugs too can't wait to see that wreath. 😃😃😃
Oh yes, I am in that group I will go look for your bow. I am sure your bow is gorgeous we are all our own worst critics you know
Prayers for Marie 🙏
Thank you very much
I love your videos and they are so caring, Praying for Marie. Is there a wreath for Demerits? My mom has it, she turned 92 this last Thursday! She lives in the nursing home where I work part time. Keep the videos coming, I learn something after watching them. On this video you said how you choose the ribbon! Your boys are cute! Again thanks for all your efforts to help us make wreaths, you are the best!,,,,🤗
Thank you, Cheri, and thank you for the prayer. I will have to look and see if there is a color or symbol for that. That is awesome that you work there part time. We moved my parents in with us 4 years ago and i take care of them.
Totally off topic, because the real topic is another of your amazing wreaths, but I just want to say that I love that blouse :)
Gorgeous!👏🏼🥰🌹
Thank you, Lori
I have a question if I wanted to do a smaller wreath frame like a 12 inch frame I wouldn't use the larger deco mesh right so could u show one on a twelve in wreath frame I got the 6" deco mesh would I still need the large? Could you possibly do one with a twelve inch frame plz
You can certainly do it with a smaller frame and you can use the smaller mesh. It will take more to cover and it will not be quite as full but it will work.
Love your wreaths! Have you ever seen the all cancers wreath? My son past away 2 years ago and he had colon cancer first and it spread to his kidneys ,liver ,lungs and brain In the end it spread to all of his body. That’s why I’d like to see if there’s an all cancer wreath with all the different colors in it.
I’m so sorry for your loss and can’t imagine how difficult that must have been for you. I haven’t seen the all cancers wreath before but I think it’s a great idea. I will look into it and see about making one. Thank you so much, Lori.
Hard Working Mom thank you so much!
Lori, how do I buy a kit? I’d like to purchase the cute bumble bee kit
Very pretty 👍😊
Thank you, Marialena. Hope your, well?! Take care, Lori.
Prayers for Mary.
Thank you for the prayers

How long did you cut your ribbon on this wreath. Beautiful by the way. Every wreath you make is beautiful.
Hello Sheila and you are so sweet. I appreciate your kind words. I cut the ribbon at 14” for this wreath. Thank you for watching, Lori.
Hi Lori!!! Both your wreaths are just beautiful!!! Purple is my favorite color. Sorry it took me a while to watch your videos this time. Had a very busy weekend. Sending prayers to Marie. Just breaks my heart when young people get sick. I hope she beats this horrible disease as I hope my daughter beats breast cancer. I made a pretty decent Terri Bow tonight. I posted it on DDC. Do you belong to that group??? Regina invited me to it. Anyhoooo believe it or not I got mostly all positive comments on it so far. lol I get frustrated cause I'm not sure if I'm doing the fluffing right. I think it will look ok on a wreath I started making today. Hope you have a great week!!!😃😃😃
Hey Gina purple is my favorite too. Thank you for the prayers. I am praying for your daughter too. She is going to beat this. That is awesome on your bow. I do not think i know that group. That is awesome about your bow. I did a ladybug wreath i will put up on Thursday it turned out cute. Have a great week talk to you soon

What is a good way to store a wreath
anything special to store with it to keep creepy crawlies away so it doesn’t get eaten ?
Hello and welcome, there Susan to my channel. You can store it in a box and seal the flaps in middle and on each end or you could get a plastic container they have now at the stores for storage. They are round and made for wreaths, the only problem is that you will need to make sure they'll suit your wreaths. Don't forget to like and share. Thank you, Lori.
Where do you find all the supplies for your wreaths
Hello, there Cindy and welcome to my channel. I buy from wholesalers, carolinapottery.com, Hobby Lobby, craftoutlet.com and so on. I also have my own Etsy store. Thank you, Lori.

How much would you cut mesh to do a 14 inch wreath
Hello and welcome, there Belinda. You may use the same cuts as well. I use also a lot of the DT frames take a look at my playlist you will find them all there it will help you with a lot of methods. Don't forget to like and share. Thank you, Lori.
Hi Lori. What is in that electric skillet you keep next to you? Also do you have any tips on unraveling deco mesh? I am having a horrible time! Thanks, Michelle
Hey Michelle it is just an electric skillet from walmart that i use as a glue pot. It is good when you work with lots of picks or flowers. The thing with fraying is the more you work with mesh the more it frays. You can spray E6000 adhesive on it or Krylon clear coat both work well. Spray several light coats it will help stop the fraying from continuing. The thing to remember is the thinner the mesh the higher risk of fraying. Try the sprays i think you will be happier.
TY!
Hope it works for you!
You lost me! Beautiful wreath!
Did you use the whole roll of each color of the 21inch deco mesh? You may have answered this already, but I didn't see it if you did.
No i had some of each left over.
where do you find the trinkets for wreaths? deals on supplies?
Hello Talitha! I highly recommend Craft Outlet and Trendy Tree for embellishments and Hobby Lobby has great ones too. Thank you, Lori.
@@craftingwithhwm thank you
Special prayers to Marie.....
Thank you Susan
How would you incorporate the 10 inch if you were going to use it?
I would add it to the tie where the petals are. I would not do everyone because it may cover the petal.
Hard Working Mom what method or style? same as the rest of the wreath or other?
Could anyone tell me where you get the frame with the tonsil at
Yes go to www.trendytree.com or www.craftoutlet.com they both have them. Look up work wreath
Can you just do one color of mesh?
Can you do just one color
Yes of course you can and it just depends on your preference. Thank you, Lori.
Ok great. Be honest with me please. Lol let me know what you think. Thanks!!!
Your bow is awesome I love it you are being hard on yourself I agree with Regina
