What it's
On y'all I'm sure everything's working. Yep looks like it
Okay
It's like a minute early
so
I've kind of
Giving a minute for people to come on, but what I will do is start cutting up some of our greenery
Okay, so we're gonna be doing a
Grapevine and we're gonna do tulips
We're gonna put some ficus leaves in it
We're gonna be putting some of our
Bead grass, so I've seen lately
That a lot of people are making whole wreaths with this, which I've always loved this
This is my favorite stuff. I love it
So I have some bigger ones
Okay, and then I have some smaller ones. So these come from Sims
And y'all they're so inexpensive, right? So this one's like a
dollar
$1.30 or $1.40 and this one's like a $1.75
you can see they have kind of the
Darker green and then the lighter green
So
the smaller one is
Cs 1 4 6 4 6 and the bigger one
Cs 1 4 7 0 0 G and
They call it bead grass some people call it button burn I
Consider it to be bead grass because that's what I've always heard
All right, and then we have some tulips. We have purple. No, we have pink and we have yellow
Yeah, okay
so I ordered this really pretty really ultra thin ribbon, but it didn't come in so
What we're gonna do is we're gonna take
This is seven eighths inch in it. Yeah, I have a yellow and I have a pink and we're gonna put those two together
So let's
cut I
think
All right, so we're gonna cut
like right here
Some of these we can put the whole bush in
So that's what we're gonna do with the longer ones the the fuller one
right, so this one that has
more in it
We're gonna put the entire thing in
So I just have one little piece here we definitely want to
Get it kind of all spread out
One thing you could do is kind of shake it a little just to get it kind of loose
Spread it out
We're gonna kind of do like the C shape
dropping things
All right, so I'm gonna put
One here and one here like this
Okay, and try to get that
kind of C shape going
Actually, it's more like this
Like that and then with the smaller ones. I want to get some coming up here
So once we get like these basic ones in we're gonna put our bow in and then we're gonna start putting pieces in our bow
First let's cut this up
All right
I'm gonna put a couple of larger pieces in
You don't want it to be laying flat
Hey Susan
Just like that
There we go
So what I'm gonna do is we're gonna kind of establish the area that we're going to be using
We're gonna be playing with bead grass I love this stuff
It's so funny to me that it's like all super popular right now. I
mean it's popular every year, but
Like there's some kind of viral
Wreath going around
That has the bead grass on it
Have you seen that?
It is real pretty
it's just
It's just a whole wreath of bead grass
All right, so let's do one more here
So
There so this is kind of how we want it to go
So I'm gonna take our two large bead grass. I'm gonna use the whole thing
Okay
So I'm gonna go under one of these
And put it in
and then
want to start to
Spread it out and mix
some of this in
Probably
So that I can get a
little bit more
down in here
Kind of lengthen them a little
See isn't it pretty isn't that contrast pretty?
I don't know what that's doing
All right
Here there
That's good, okay, let's do this side
So once I get it on I'll figure out which ones I want to cut I am gonna kind of bend it a little
So I've got the whole piece
So
Those two now we'll spread these out
Now that I'm doing this I'm thinking this might be a quick wreath
might be
Maybe too quick
right
one more
Get our
There we go, oh isn't that pretty
Now now I want to put the bow in so let's make our bow
And then we'll put
Okay, so you can see
About how long they are, but you can push them up, so you don't go up pretty far
Or you can spread them way out
So that's gonna
Really help us with this all right
There's not a whole lot of the yellow, but there's enough
I want to
Use this because it's very
Delicate so I didn't want a big bow that kind of overtakes
so
Then I do
Don't think I want to do
Let's do
Maybe like 29 inches with 30 inches okay, and we're gonna
Do them together, and then we'll spread them apart
That yellow
We don't have a ton of that
That's okay. Oh
Yeah, we don't have very much at all
Okay
Well, we'll get some out
Okay, so I want to do like oh
Yeah, I think a five-inch loop will be fine. No let's do six. Let's do six
There we go
So we're gonna run out of the yellow soon, but we'll just keep going with pink. We'll just add more pink
Just kind of leave the yellow here
So let's say we have six let's do nine seven eight
Okay, then I'll just trim this off the same length as yellow here
All right
Hmm. I want to do a little bit smaller of a zip tie just so it's not gonna show as much
All right, so there's our extension, it's just
Slide it into place
Get another zip tie on the bottom
Tight really good
All right now
We're gonna pull apart the pink and the yellow. I wish we had one yellow
But that's okay, we'll still see some one more
Okay
Let's trim this off
All right, let's get it in here
So I'm gonna put it in our grapevine. I'll just run it right through the grapevine
This has two nice really big
Sticks right up here at the top
That's what I'm running it through
There we go, I just want to make sure the tails are in the right place
there
now we can
Get it all
left out
See if we can get these
Yellow
Bella is already snoring
Poor Bella. She's got something going on with
Her one of her back legs. I'll have to get her into the vet. She really doesn't want to put any pressure on it
All right, so
this tail
Curl I might have even made it too long
Yeah, I think that's longer than I want
Yeah, let's just
Like that
Yeah, let's do that
All right
So they do more like
25 inches. All right. Now we're gonna take some of these
These are the shorter ones. I'm gonna push it up
Cut it off about like an inch and now I'm gonna put these coming up behind
the bow
And I want them coming out
Okay like this
I'm just kind of sticking them under the bow
Okay, I know I don't know what she did but it's been going on for a little while
It's like
Both Bella and Sassy. Oh, I know a lot of it's their age a
lot of it is their age and they're just getting older and
They have arthritis and you know, I want to make sure that these are spreading out well
There we go
You definitely want it all spreading out
These I want to do a little bit longer
So I want to get that good
line forming
all right, so
these
will push up but we're not gonna cut as much of the
stem off
so that we can get
Some more length I'm gonna kind of put those put this behind the ones I just put in
Give it a little more length
See, these are really pushed down. So you just push them up
leave a longer
stem I
like to put the
Shorter ones in first just so I can kind of see where I'm at
See how much they have it pushed down
Hi, she is really snored back here
When you're putting these in if it feels really loose in there
What you can do is
Get a little bit of moss and put a little bit of moss in there and it will fill in that area and make it
tighter
And then things won't fall out so sometimes
Sometimes when you're putting things in a grapevine, it's gonna get kind of
It's kind of loose in there
so if you just take a little bit of moss and I was looking to see if I had brought my moss in I
Don't think I did
I'll peek down there in a minute. I don't think I did
Yeah, I did okay
So what I mean is
So you see how it's kind of a little bit loose in here
You just take a little bit of moss
Okay
you don't need a ton and
then you just kind of
stick it in the grapevine like that and then
It will keep all those in there and keep them tight
So it's a really good trick to use with grapevines
now
Well, that's a big one now, we're gonna put some
I'm gonna put some in the bow
And then we're gonna put some of the tulips on
Hey, Deb
How are you?
All right
Push them up. We don't want them to be
Too long. Yeah
See how far you can push you can push them up a lot
so I want to cut them a
Couple of inches because I want them to be long enough to come up through
The bow. Okay, and I'll just start kind of putting it in and then
Bending it over like that and then I can kind of get it in between my loops
Kind of come behind the bow and then bend it in and then just kind of move them
in between the loops
Back
It does it works really well. I will tell you and a lot of times these are so loose. I
was looking at
something the other day and I saw
where somebody was complaining about they got like a
tulip wreath or something
And they loved it. It was so pretty and they put it on their door and then a
Bunch of the tulips fell off
well, it's most likely because
It was a loose grapevine and so when they put it in
you know, they didn't put anything to account for the looseness and
Then in the heat a lot of times
the glue
will just kind of fail and
Then you end up with things that fall out
So it can be pretty frustrating
But that keeps it nice and tight and
This really works
I'm gonna do one from the bottom and
You can tell when you're putting it in if it's really tight or if it's really loose
If it's tight, there's nothing you have to do if it's really loose
Then it's a good idea just to get out a little bit of moss and just shove it in there
So these came from Sims, this is the mini tulips I
Love these mini tulips. It is it's scary
So I want to see I want to make sure they're gonna be seen
so
Yeah, we're gonna leave them pretty long
About eight inch of a stem
There we're gonna mix them the other tulip one we did is already in our bathroom
mom
Immediately wanted it in the bathroom. So that's where it went
Okay
See and once we get them in here, then if we need to add
Some big grass in between them
We just take and kind of add it in
We will put
Some up and some down
But the first ones I put in I want them to be pretty long
So I can make sure
Yes, it could be cold weather sure good, but it's been a lot warmer here
recently
Well just didn't like the last
We're also gonna take some short ones
Put them in here
Right up at the top
Bo is I love tulips
They're just so friendly
See, it's it feels very loose right there
So let's grab a little bit of our trick moss
Just kind of shove it down in there and then I won't have to worry about this
Coming out and we'll have to refix the bow about 35 times, but that's okay
Some in here
I
love these and
Honestly, they're so much better quality than
Michaels and they're about the same price. I think so. These are from Sims. I think they're like
250 or something like that. I
Want to say that's right
They're worth it
They stay on better. I
Like these leaves better. They're just really pretty
Let's put
It also helps the glue stay the moss so
You know a lot of times what happens is
The glue heats and contracts in the heat and then the cold
but if you have that
Moss in there, it's not gonna do it as much
Let's put some more yellow
Thank you
And what you can do too at the end is just kind of pull on things and if they're loose
Stick a little bit of the moss
Oh
Isn't that pretty so I'm trying to keep the links where they are
Right, so we have kind of some long ones going down. I
Knew I was gonna need moss this one is really loose
sometimes these grapevines are just
This is a pretty grapevine though. So it's not too bad
And you can put as many or as little
as you want
So Carolyn, I know you just joined we're putting moss in
the grapevine
Where it's loose
to keep it from
Being a problem
Okay, so I'm pretty good with that side. Let's work on this
Kind of pull this up
Oh sweet
Did you go to Michael's or did you get them from Sam's
Let me see
Yeah a little bit in here
Yeah
so in here
Feel like I have I had too many kind of clumping together right in there
But like I said, you can do as many I keep moving this one
Or as few as you want I really like to
Fill it up pretty decently
That's okay
There we go
I'm about done with the tulips
Yes, oh
That's pretty
All right. Now we'll just kind of look and see
Where we need to add a little bit of bean grass
Michael yeah
These are from
Sam's I really like the ones from Sam's
They're just really pretty
And they stay on a lot better
And they're pretty much the same price. Of course, you do have to pay for shipping. So that part's no good
but
I'm just kind of looking for spots where it kind of seems like there might be a hole
Or maybe you can't see the bean grass
Here
Still don't like something over here
Think maybe
There yeah, that's better, okay
That was bugging me looks pretty good
Right back in here. It kind of seems like it doesn't want to stay in place
So I'm gonna put
Probably a couple more back here
So like right in here, it seems like there's a little hole there
They're not really spreading out very well. So
It's a little bit more kind of in there and right beneath this
tulip
There all right, let's see how it looks
Yeah, oh
That's pretty do you think I might need a tulip right here? Yeah
There
Stay right there. Yeah, that's good
Isn't that pretty I
Love it. It's all wild. Oh
I see one more spot
Where is that? Okay
That's the thing when you have it sitting on a table
Sometimes it's hard to see where your spots are
Okay, so I just added one right here
Isn't that pretty?
Whoa, I have little
blue strings all over me
All right. That's pretty
now I put a lot of tulips in mine, but you don't have to put that many and I put a lot of
The big grass because I really like grass
And we put a little bit of ficus in there and then we have the leaves from the tulips and then our bow
So our bow is in there
It's kind of really mixed in
with the wreath
Yeah, I like that a lot
Sweet. All right. Hopefully y'all enjoyed that
Okay, I hope y'all have a wonderful night
Hey
This is what we made
right there
Tulips and big grass
Isn't it pretty?
Okay
Yeah, I can keep adding tulips, but I
Don't want it to be too over tulip
All right
Okay, I hope y'all have a wonderful night
If I have time I'm gonna start recording some of the
Diaper cakes some some of them take a time. So I think
At least I'll record at least some of it and then maybe put it together with y'all
But I'm gonna start getting those done
All right. Okay. I hope y'all have a great night and
I will see y'all next week. All right
