I am continuing my series of "How To Make A Base Wreath" with this new tutorial showing how to make a base wreath using the RUFFLE method. A lot of people have been asking me how I decorate my base wreaths and what my process is like when I do add embellishments. Stay tuned as next week I will be uploading a new video showing you how I take this base wreath and make a Halloween wreath. Don't forget to come back and check that out next week!!!! I hope you enjoyed today's video and if you did, please feel free to hit that LIKE button and maybe leave me a COMMENT down below. Don't forget to SUBSCRIBE to my channel and hit that NOTIFICATION bell so you can be notified when I upload a new video. Thank you so much for watching...take care...by for now.

The wire wreath frame that I used in this tutorial is a 18" wire wreath frame, so you can follow it step by step if you're using the same size wreath form. Or if you want it to be fuller, you can add more pipe cleaners and ruffles. Hope that helps. 😃😃😃

My mesh roll is 10x30 what measurements would you recommend for the cutting?

Hi Dave, awesome video (love the laugh!) Here in the UK, we have access to 14" wreath frames, should I use less pipe cleaners or will the 18 work?

Hi Dave! You are amazing!! Question: My 18" wire wreath has 9 sections! ( crossbars). Itis using 27 Pipe cleaners..... Should I just skip every other one? Thank you so much for all your awesome videos!!

@DavesWreaths

Жыл бұрын

Hi Melanie. Thank you so much. If you're using the same size of mesh and thickness, then I would say you could skip every other one. It all depends on how dense your mesh is (or how "see through" it is) and what your "fullness" preference is for a wreath. I love a FULL DENSE wreath, so I tend to use a lot of deco mesh and close together. If your mesh is dense and such, then I'd say you're good to go with every other one. Test it out on one section, stand back, take a look at it, hang it up, stand back and take a look at it. If you're liking it, then continue. If not, then add one at a time till you're happy. Does that all make sense? LOL. Sorry, I rambled a bit. HAHA. Take care.

Hi Jenny, yes you could do this on a 14" frame, you would just need to adjust where you place the stems and have fewer. If you're doing it on an 18" frame with three bars, then I would attach the stems on the outside and middle stem for your first round and then the middle and inside for your second round. Hope that helps. 😊

Hi there, yes you can use a 14" frame for this method. If you wanted a very full wreath, then you can keep the same dimensions. If you wanted to have a less full wreath, and a centre showing, then I would probably cut them down by 10-15" for the ruffles. That will make it less full and you can still see the centre part. Hope that helps. Happy wreath making. 😊😊😊

Hi Ornery...sorry to hear you are having some troubles with the Ruffle method. Perhaps you need to reduce the spacing between your stems or use a thicker deco mesh. Those two items can help with keeping the wreath fuller and not being able to see the wire. Hope that helps.
