How to make a christmas Candy themed wreath

[Music] hey Lori here today we're going to be doing a candy wreath with one of these awesome white uh Pine wreaths I love these These are fun this is so popular this year so I thought it might be fun for us to do one so the first thing I'm going to do is cut up my mesh I like to start with a clean Edge I just find it works a little better that way okay and I'm going to do 15 in and it's this really pretty pink and white it even has a little bit of kind of a blue tinge to it so I think it's going to match perfect okay so I just put my mesh on my mat cut it up and then we'll get started okay so I'm going to use about 15 pieces of the 15 in let me show you the ribbons so I have this really cute ribbon that has the little macaroon candies on it I have a little bit of blue with some snow and a little bit of plain blue and I'm going to pull this out so we can get started we have a lot of really fun things we're going to put in this one but we're going to put in the mesh just to kind of start bringing the color in so mesh is a great way to start to fill in these wreath give it a nice base color and it also is going to be more economical than doing all little pieces to put in here because that can start to get a little expensive now this is an elevated base and this comes from Joan it's a 24 in and it's really pretty isn't it so one thing you need to know about these faces is that you don't want to store these somewhere where it's going to be hot because they will yellow so you definitely want to store these indoors like in a closet or somewhere where it's going to stay in a temperature controlled environment because heat will turn these into yellow okay so we're going to take our Mish and we're just going to kind of roll it and then pull it together just like that and then start placing it in I'm tying it with my little ties here okay now you can put it either way so this way you will get more curl and less ruffle this way you will get more ruffle and less curl so you can do it either way there's no rule that says you have to do it one way or the other just depends on what you like sometimes I like it one way and sometimes I like it the other so this mesh here is from Craft Outlet and it's super pretty it's a great color you can use it for Christmas you can use it for Valentine's you can use it for breast cancer waths you can use it for spring so these are really great to have because there's multiple Seasons that you can use these colors you can also use it for Mother's Day so a lot of uses we're just going to go up and down along the whole wreath face bringing in this color you see how it's already starting to brighten it up bring that pink in okay so now I'm going to go back and put in a little bit where I see a lot of white showing just kind of add a little filler here and there until I use the pieces that I've cut look how pretty that is already okay so now what we're going to do is we're going to make our bow put our bow in and let me show you some of the fun things that we have to put in so we have some little gumdrops a little lollipop we have this awesome cupcake to put in here's our macaroons to match our ribbon and we have some little bitty lollipops and then we have some ornaments so I'm going to use the pink and the blue from here so first things first let's make our bow okay so this ribbon came from Hobby Lobby it's in the Christmas section you can see it has the little macaroon candies on it it is so cute so I want to do oh let's do about 24 in tail okay we go I'm going to go ahead and drop that in the floor just makes it a little bit easier for me to work with and I'm going to go to the 6 inch again the six now you can see these are going in opposite directions so to combat that all I'm going to do is lift this up and flip it around it's a really easy way to make sure your ribbon's going in the same direction does it matter if you flip this way or that way whatever is more comfortable for you that's what you want to do so so you can flip it this way this one we flip the other way so I'm going to do three Loops here okay right there there and I'm going to pull my tail out trim it off okay all right now I want to put in some of this this is so cute with a little glitter on it okay that in the floor okay so I want to do two Loops of this one this bow is called a 321 all that means is three Loops at one size two Loops at one size one loop at one size and I just pull this out Trim It Off and I want to put this ribbon back on top this time we're going to do a shorter tail so let's say this is about 12 in long okay and I'm going to do the same six in on both sides remember we're going to flip this one you want to flip it after you've made the loop but before you've tightened the bow okay so I'm going to take a zip tie run it underneath get it started pull it out all right so right there is my indention most important thing with making a bow is to hold your bow while you're slipping your zip tie around and then make sure it stays in that indention all the ribbons stay flat like this that way you're not going to have a problem with your ribbons moving or your size changing I'm going to take another zip tie and I'm G put it in the back and then tighten it up I like to use my zip ties to hold it while I fluff it and I'm just going to pull my Loops out spread them out first this make makes it a little bit easier for me to fluff it if I do that first you always want to do one side and then the other otherwise it can get really easy to start to lose track of where you are okay there we go [Music] okay there make sure you pull out all the little pieces that get stuck down in the zip tie cuz that's what's going to prevent it from fluffing the best you just kind of twist it and then pull it out we go and the twisting of the ribbon helps to to loosen it so that you can pull out those little pieces that get stuck okay all right so we're going to take this bow and I want to tie it at the top and I want to tie it on this inner ring the reason is is if you tie it on this back ring it's going to tend to want to fall backwards if you tie it on this inner ring you can control keeping it to the back so I just slip my zip tie right in between the base and then this one around the base so you can see where it is right here okay and then I can put my bow in place where I want it to be okay and then I'll start to tighten it you want to make sure that you pull it towards the underneath the bow and you also want to make sure that you don't tighten it so much that your bow wants to sink in so you want to be careful when you're tightening it make sure you're not tightening it too much so that your bow sinks in so I'm going to kind of readjust my Loops here there we go all right so I'm just going to trim it off so right here is the hanger for the wreath okay all right now I'm going to take this I'm I'm going to pull it straight up fold it in half and cut it at an angle that gives me my nice little doveet tail we go and then these ribbons here I'm going to take these I'm going to come across here I'm going to pinch it and I'm going to tie it with one of my little pieces here all right so right there so same thing on the other side I pull it across I pinch and I'm going to tie it right in here and then I can let these drape over the side I'll just cut them at an angle there these two will hang down like this okay so cut these at an angle okay and what we can do is with this space behind the bow we can put some of our little pieces in okay so this came from high Hobby Lobby this came from Hobby Lobby this one and this one and this one so all these came from Hobby Lobby I want to keep these in the groups of Threes okay so this will be one this will be another one okay there and this will be another one now this has a hanger on it which I'm not going to use so I'm just going to trim that off and I want to pull these out so they look really cute and fun I'm going to run it in my glue and I'm going to put it in the Evergreen and I'm going to move it around around and make sure that it is gluing into the Evergreen cuz that is what it's going to glue to okay put this one right in here so I kind of want these to be together like a three three little pieces together just like that see isn't that cute all right I just kind of double check make sure it glued it did okay we have this adorable thing here love this hope we have a little piece fell off let's F that so I'll just glue it right back on not quite go so see right there okay all right it's adorable all right so I to put this kind of over here on the side okay right in here so want to make sure I got it hitting some pieces oh how cute yeah and I'm going to put this on this other side or we can put it down here kind of across so either way works fine these little ribbons are a little bit wrinkled so I'm just kind of trying to pull them out a little bit okay okay I think we'll put this one right in here all right so I'm just going to angle it down in [Music] there so you see we've kind of created a little triangle and we've balanced it so we have kind of a large item there a large item here all right now we're going to put these in and then we're gonna put a couple of these and we're going to put our ornaments in okay so you can keep these together or you can separate them out it's really just whatever you feel I'm kind of keep them together and want in here oh how cute look how cute that is okay one over here right back in here so what you do to one side you want to do the other side doesn't have to be in the same space this I think I want to kind of separate Maybe put in here oh that's so cute one in here there oh that's so cute and one right down in here okay all right now we're going to get out our ornaments and add those in so that's going to start to take up some of the white that we have showing okay these came from Hobby Lobby and they're 50% off so I got 50 of these oh I love this color so I like to put the glue over the whole piece and then same thing I'm going to put it in push it [Music] around this like that I want to put one kind of underneath my little ribbon there one down here so I'm just kind of spreading them out G to put one over here right there oh how cute okay let's put one more and then we're going to flip to the other side and do the pink there we go all right let's grab our pinks and let's start put some pinks in right in there one right in there oh that's so cute look how adorable one in there those are pretty and bright I like pretty and bright okay one down in here okay I'm going to put one right behind this bow it's going to do double duty it's going to look cute and it's going to keep my bow in place okay I want to put this last blue one right in here right in there and let's put one more peek let's see right I think we'll actually put it on under that ribbon so right in here then we just kind of spread our ribbon back over it oh how cute look at that oh look how cute that is all right now right let's put our little lollipops in here oh these are so cute aren't those cute in

back in here that's cute there okay then we got one that has all three colors now these you can scrunch them up you can pull them out you can separate them or keep them together put it right in here there we go okay all right I want to take a little bit of this ribbon here and I want to put a little bit in so I'm going to do let's say 10 in I'm thinking yeah okay so 10 inch okay and I'm going to take one side and I'm going to cut it at an angle just like that then I'm going to take this I'm going to pinch it and I fold it over put a little glue on it and then I'm going to start adding it in to bring some more blue into our wreath so this will help break up the pink and just bring some of that pretty blue color in it okay now I'm just ping it right to the Evergreen do you have a pick machine you can use that I have one somewhere there we go right that one there put this final one under the bow we oh how fun look how fun that is all right y'all have to tell me what you think all
