Great job. You’re the King of neatness and simplicity! Love the black n white, but not the vibrant color of the bow, sorry. But your stress less bow making skills help so much. No fuss, no muss bows eliminates a lot of stress for us, especially if we’re in a hurry. It’s the Go To bow for me!

Hi Dave, love the pancake wreath because in Canada most homes have screen doors. My problem with wreaths,just learning since pandemic, I use too much mesh. It is not easy to get here. Have had to ordercsome from Joann's or Amazon. Prices really are different. Love the wreath it is beautiful.🤗

Hi Mary. I totally agree with what you said in your comment. I live in Canada as well, and yes, having those large full mesh wreaths sometimes don't fit on entry ways with the screen doors. This pancake method is perfect to deal with that. I also have a hard time finding mesh, I usually try for Michael's with their coupons, and there's also some smaller shops online that are Canadian based that sell the mesh and other items for wreath making. Thanks for watching and for the wonderful comment. Take care.
I love the wreath. The bow is pretty. However, it doesn't go with black and white buffalo deco mesh. You do such beautiful work.
Very good description. Would like to see one using ribbon on the inside.
Pancake wreath?! I was about to grab the maple syrup! Dave, I love this wreath and the method of creating it is so versatile. Love the check pattern of course. Your bows are always perfection.

Hi Angela, I just use the dollar store hot glue and it seems to work great for my region. There are some more heat resistant hot glue sticks from Gorilla Glue...or you could see if Surebonder has that as well. Hope that helps. 😊
Have you done this with the 6 inch dollar tree mesh? The bigger mesh is only at expensive craft stores. I'm going to try it by using my leftover different color mesh from making other wreaths. Might be pretty with different colors
@DavesWreaths
Жыл бұрын
Hi Susan, I have not done this method with 6" deco mesh from the Dollar Tree, but it would work, your little "pancakes" would be much smaller and you would need to have more pipe cleaner stems. It would totally work and look good with multiple colours. Happy wreath making.
I'm new to deco mesh and wreath making, however I love it! I love your videos and have learned a lot. However, I started my adventure using dollar store mesh and all it does it fray, what am I doing wrong
@DavesWreaths
Жыл бұрын
Hi there. That's great that you are starting out with wreath making. You are not doing anything wrong, the quality of the deco mesh from the Dollar Tree has dwindled a bit over the last little while. Also, deco mesh does have a tendency to fray, it's just the nature of the beast. You can always use methods like the curly method or the folded ruffle method to hide as much of the fraying as possible. Also, there is a burning tool that you can use that will seal the mesh and stop it from fraying - you do this to cut your mesh in lieu of using scissors. Hope that helps a bit. 😊

Hi Dave, I realized yesterday that my wreath has 7 sections not 6, so I thought all 14 wreaths were 6 sections, but apparently not. I think this throws off the equation on the measurements. So I didn't realize this until I started putting it together. What is your suggestion ? Do i cut the decomesh into shorter pieces? Thanks for your input.
@DavesWreaths
Жыл бұрын
Hi there, I have seen some that have more sections as well, I just use the ones from the Dollar Tree as they are inexpensive and readily available. For your seven sectioned frame, I would still do the 6 pipe cleaners on the outside and six on the inside, ignoring the cross bars (if you want the same effect that I have in my video). If you want a more dense pancake wreath, I would do what I did in my video with a stem at each cross bar and one in the middle - this will create more "pancakes" and a more dense wreath. Just keep in mind, you'll be using more deco mesh with this. Hope that makes sense and helps. Take care. 😊
I really like this method. The pearls are a great idea! Thanks. I have been looking for your video where you did something similar with 21” deco mesh. Which video was that?

Hi Inita, deco mesh does fray a bit, it's just the "nature of the beast" when it comes to deco mesh. There are also some very stiff deco mesh out there. That could be the case with yours. I'm not sure what brand or material you have, but that could be the case. Hope it gets better for you. Take caer.
