Watermelon Grapevine Wreath With Deco Mesh |Stunning Spring/Summer Design |Mom Hive Live (Replay)

I'm just making sure it's publishing. Think it is? Yes. Okay, here we go. Here we go. Hey y'all. Okay, well it's thinking about it. Okay, there it goes, there it goes. Sometimes if I try to publish it like a few seconds early, it does not like it. It really fusses at me. Why is this not showing up? I'm trying to see if it's live or not. Can you see me Susan? I can't tell if it's working or not. It's just... Hi. So you can see me because on my screen... Oh, it's working back there. Okay. Yeah, I don't know. It must just be my laptop. All right. I don't know why it's just spinning on there. Okay, so I got the DecoExchange box and I thought it would be fun to do something with that. There we go. All right, so I got the box. The box is watermelon. So I thought we would use a grapevine. We're going to use a little bit of the mesh, not a ton. But it has this really giant sign and what I like is it's very thick. So it'll work fine on a grapevine. Sometimes you can't use these on grapevines that are this big just because they're so heavy. Or I mean they're not heavy enough, so they're not stiff enough. Then we have some of the Deco tubing. There are six of these. All right, so there's six of these little picks. It has red, yellow, white, and then a little bit of pink in it. And then there's this bush with the yellow in it. All right, so this one is FP105129. This one is FH8194A3 and then there are one, two, three, four ficus. So there's yellow. Pink, red, and green. That's a lot. Okay, then the ribbons. This is really pretty. Watermelon ribbon. I like this a lot. It is canvas, but it has kind of a silky feel. There's a four-inch. This is that Breeze crosshatch. See if you look at it, it is kind of plastic-y. It has these little like crosshatches in it. It does work pretty nice, but just so you're aware what it is. There's also a pink one like that. Can you see the little crosshatches in it? This one's really pretty. It has red and black polka dots with the little green scallops, and then we have green and white. So we'll make a bow with those. That's what we're working with. This was mesh. So I cut, I think I cut five pieces at 20 inches. So first thing we're gonna do I think is put the sign on. This one must have come from Sims because it's got little stuff in it. Sometimes they're really good, sometimes they're really not. So we're gonna use bind wire. Okay. That way we can kind of hide it. Honestly, I'm glad this thing hasn't fallen apart because when it came, the little label thing was just not really on it. It had like kind of come off. So thankfully it has not fallen apart because they can easily fall apart if you don't pull it from the center. And it was already open so I didn't really pull it from the center. Yeah, it is full. Full of nature, yes. This is a cute sign too. It looks very watermelon-y. So. So we'll take our bind wire just like we do with our signs. And we'll twist it right there. Oh my gosh, I tell you, poor Carson was so sick for days. Today is really the first day he's been fine without a fever. I really thought I was gonna have to take him back to the hospital, but thank God he got past it. Okay. So I kind of want to put it like in the center. So. I think I might use this side because, so it has more thickness, so it's gonna hold this sign a little better. And we're gonna put mesh so that'll kind of hide the fact that this one's a little thinner. Okay. So I'm just gonna load it on with my weaving needle here. The great thing is you can use it multiple times to get it in there really good. And you're really not gonna be able to see it, it's just gonna look like the way they have it tied together. So. Just secure it on there really well. I'm just gonna tie it in the back, and then I'm gonna see if I can, oh there they are. That side. Okay. Let's just look at it. It's gonna look good. Just like so. This one. We'll tie around this, there's a piece right here. And we'll tie it around that. Yeah, as Zeke can tell you, his temperature was 103 for like three days. It was scary. I was having to do the alternating agile Tylenol thing. It was not good. Okay, so we got our sign on there. It's a little bit wobbly. It's not bad. Okay. Probably could tighten it a little bit. Just to get it a little bit snugger. There we go. Okay. There we go. Alright. Yeah, that's better. Okay. So for these. Oh, that's okay. What'd you cook? Okay, so I'm gonna do Woodland Ruffle. I'm just gonna do a quick version. I think last time I did zip ties. This time I'm gonna do bind wire. Okay. Okay, so I'm gonna put the bind wire on. Okay. Let's see. See how it wants to kind of fall apart? I need to fix it. So I'm just gonna go over a few inches. Another one. Hold on. There we go. Ready? So I'm going over about two inches. I'm just loading them on so it'll be easier to do it. Alright, here we go. Now we can put it on. Okay. I'm not worrying about which way I want to turn them right now. I just want to get them on. And then I will deal with how I want to turn them. Okay. They're not gonna stay like that, in other words. Did it flip her over to me again? It's weird. I don't know why it's doing that. So what I want to do is turn this there. I have one left, right? Yes, one left. Okay. There. Yes, please. You can... No, you can put it on my desk though. Isn't that pretty with the little curls? Like that. I want to do one more down here. I know I dropped one. There it is. Okay. There we go. Look how cute that is! The bow... I think we're gonna put the bow on last. I haven't decided if I want to put the bow up here at the top and drape down or if I want to put it down here at the bottom. I don't know. Alright. I do want to put some of this in. I don't need all this stem stuff so I'm just gonna cut it off of there. These are the colored ficus leaves. It's FG 647599. Okay. So we've got yellow. Just gonna cut them into the trees to start. The big ones I'm gonna put them there. Oops. Haha. And the green. Alrighty. So, I want to kind of start... So these are the side pieces and I'm not cutting it off. I'm just gonna kind of put it in. Put some green in. I want the green to come out a little bit farther like that. I am kind of bending them off to the side a little so that they're kind of curving like that. Red, I'm gonna come up a little. So we're gonna make this side look a lot bigger so this side doesn't look unbalanced. That's the great thing about ficus leaves is you can get a lot of width and height with ficus leaves. We are doing a C shape. Alright, so this down, this up. See how much wider that makes that look? So now it doesn't look all unbalanced with this. I'm saving some of these other ficus leaves. These spread out and move. I don't think I need to pull these apart. I'm gonna kind of sneak it under. No, thank you. I'm doing a hook just to make it easier to get in there. I'm going under that last one. Now Okay Let's pull See if I can pull it apart. Okay, there. Okay Put it here. Pull it out. These here. Definitely want to go with the brain. There. Put this one kind of in with the mesh there. These I'll probably put in the side. But the flowery stuff in these. Just kind of twisting them together. Yeah, they are tiny little wildflowers, aren't they? So I just kind of put it in between and then just kind of move some. Because you don't want it to look like it's only on the side. You want it to have some in the middle too. Okay There's the other two. Goodness. So same thing with this one. I want to pull out these big leaf leaves. Okay Separate these. Because you always want to incorporate them. So I am going in between the mesh stacks. Because then it's easy for me to move them around. Oh! My thing came untied. That's weird. I guess I didn't tie it very well. Okay, there. There. Tie these. But I'm going to put that in there. Okay. There. These two separate. And then put here. Okay. Okay, I'm going to take these long ones out. We're just going to shorten them. So that they're not way long. There we go. They are pretty tiny. For sure. They're very delicate. That's what I would say. Delicate. I just want to get some out here on the side. So that way it looks like it's all incorporated. Right, Santa? He's like, whatever, I'm sleeping. She's busy. She's busy sleeping. Okay. I don't know that I want to put maybe I'll put this one in here. Alright. See how pretty that looks? And it looks plenty wide for this here. Still not as tight as I want it to be. I have to redo that. That's a little better. Okay. I don't know that I need to put any of this in. There's already a lot in it. We'll just see. Maybe we'll put a little in the middle. Okay. Just one more. Yeah. I know. Not that it really needs it, but I have it so I might as well put at least a little in it. That's cute. Alright. I'm not even sure we can get a bow in it. We're going to have plenty left to do something with it, to do another project with it, so that's good. We'll have to save all of this for a different project because there's no way it's going in here. Let me just look and see if we're going to be able to get a bow in this. So we'll make a bow and then we'll see what we want to do. I honestly don't think I can fit a bow in here. Let's make a bow anyways. Just because we have it. Yeah, there's no way a bow is going to fit in there. See, look. Even if I only did something right here, I just don't think it would look right. Yeah, I agree. It's pretty full. Why does it keep doing that? Hold on. Okay, that was weird. Let's do like maybe a 20 inch tail. Seven inches. Seven. And seven. What I really want to do is show you how you can use the supplies a different way. This will work out because we can do another project with this bow and the rest of the supplies. We'll save them and do another project. That works out because I was thinking about making a wreath thing with a watermelon. So let's do the green one. Maybe we'll make a wreath attachment and then use the rest of the supplies. So we're going to do six inch now. I have a whole bunch of ribbons. I kind of like to do two, two, two, two, two because then you can kind of spread them out and kind of see all of them a little better. I like that. I think so too. I like watermelon wreaths. They're a good summertime wreath. This one's kind of all different going different pattern ways so you don't really need to twist it. It is really pretty. I can at least get a bow going. There we go. Okay. Let's do this one. The pink kind of looks a little odd to me but there is pink in that little flower. There is a little bit of pink on the sign. So I want to go five inch now. So you can hear the ribbon. It's similar to jelly ribbon but not completely. It's not as stiff as jelly ribbon but it has kind of a little bit of a similar feel to it. So if I equate it to something that's what I would say. Let's do maybe like a, did I say that was 20 inches? This is there's a yard. Okay. So 46 inches. I'm just going to make a little center loop. I never do that so let's do that. Okay. So I just make the little loop and have the tails go down. Alright. Get my zip tie around it. It's a monster bow. So there's our indention. So we'll slide it around. So see how this will go in the center. There. Alright. Let's do a let's put our back here. Alright. See I like to spread them so they're kind of odd even kind of thing. Like that. And then on the other side I'll do the opposite. So like that. It makes it look rounder. That's why I like to do the 2-2-2. Because I can kind of you know alternate them and make it look a little bit larger. Alright. Let's fluff it. There we go. Had to find my ends. Our little pieces are stuck. Remember if you struggle with bows do one side and then the other. Still not sure if I like that pink. Looks a little out of place. Let's get the tables ready here. This is really pretty though. I like the green and the red and black polka dots. Curl them up. Really see what I'm doing. If I had picked this I would not have picked the pink. But I did. We can make it work. I can make it work even if somebody sends me something that's not quite right. I can still make it work. Alright. Let's look at our bow. See now what you could do right. If you didn't want to use the sign you could do the bow instead of the sign. Let's see how that looks. See now if we try to do a bow on here it would just look ridiculous. It just wouldn't work. But we've got the wreath. See how pretty that looks with all that width on the side. And then of course the sign looks right because we made the other side bigger. It's fun. It's a fun way to use the mesh even though you're not doing a mesh wreath. And I think you know sometimes we get tired of making everything on a wreath frame. Sometimes it's fun to make it on a on a grapevine. Yeah. Awesome. Alright y'all. Well I'm going to save the rest of this and we'll use it again. So and I didn't even use this. So I think this would look really cute in the middle of the mesh but I don't really want to put it in this because I just don't think it would detract from the cute little flowers. So I won't do that. I'm going to unplug my thing real quick. There we go. There. Alright y'all. Okay so I'm going to keep the Monday schedule. It's so much easier for me and I don't have to worry about something going wrong at the end of the week. So I hope y'all like the schedule. Alright. So I will see you guys. I haven't got tags in my pocket. I'll see you guys either tomorrow or Wednesday. I'm going to try to do tomorrow. Last week was a disaster. But you know knock on wood. No one's sick. No one has doctor's appointments until Thursday. So hoping that's going to stay that way. Oh I'm going to be listing this probably tonight. I finally got all the ribbon in. So I'm excited about that one. Alright. I hope y'all have an awesome night and I will see you guys hopefully tomorrow. Although it may be like in the afternoon because once everybody gets home and the house gets busy it gets harder. Alright. Well y'all have a good one and hopefully I'll see y'all tomorrow.
