Stunning Red, Green, and White Christmas Floral Swag |Mostly Hobby Lobby Supplies |Hard Working Mom

I think it's live, is it? So, we're gonna do swag tonight. So, let me show you some of what I got. Drives me crazy. I don't know why it says that. It's already published. Okay. Alright, so we have a 24 inch swag here. I will make it look longer, but I like this one because it's pretty thick. I'm gonna tell you what this is. This one's from Sims. It's VTD003. So we'll pull all of the little pieces on our swag up here sticking together y'all. I really like these because they're really thick and they have lots of good pieces and pieces are nice and thick. It's just a really nice quality swag. It's not a very long one but you can make it look longer just doing a few little things but you can see it has a really pretty shape. Okay, so this is... Some of our ribbon. So I have, this is Hobby Lobby. I have this green, white, and red. Isn't that pretty? And then this one, red and green. I have some white because I want to get just a little bit of white in there. I have this other white. I don't know if we're going to use it. I'm thinking we're just going to use these three. I have these two little ornament things. Okay, these are CP2532. They come in several different colors. They have them in a lot of colors this year, actually. I got these two sets of berries. I really liked these. Okay, CP2524, and of course these are all 50% off, y'all. I got a little bit of the white little CP1732, and then some of the little bead. CP1907. Okay, and then I have this CFS198. That's really pretty. It has the little glittery stuff on it. These are from Sims. We know these, right? The Glitter Ice Grass CS5005. Pulled some of these out. It's from these eucalyptus picks. They have a lot of really great stuff in it, and I wanted some of these, so I pulled them out. WF622. That's a Sims 1. This is a Sims 1. I apparently don't have the number, but we've used this a lot of times. I'll have to look it up. It's a boxwood with whiteberry on it. This is from Carolina Pottery. This one is GPB20841. What I'm going to do is we're going to start with, oh, the most important part. Look at these. Oh, there's my receipt. I've got hair put over your bra a little bit, y'all. These are little like lights, Christmas lights. Aren't they cute? I know, right? Sparkling stuff. Tape off. There we go. This is also from the Hoblobs. This one is HL9204568, but I love these. Look at these. These are going to be so cute in this. I'm excited. All right, so we're going to I'm going to start with the bow and the bow is going to help us make it look longer. Excuse me, you can also always use some extra, if you have any little bit of garland, you can also add garland in to make it longer. I know we've seen doing swags in to make it longer, but I don't know if I've shown you actually doing a, so this is a swag, but it's one of those like straight ones. It doesn't have a teardrop shape to it, but you can make it look like a teardrop. I'm just adding it in to the end. So if you have trouble finding longer ones, this is VDS001. These are 32 inches, but what you can do is I tend to cut these up and I'll use them in several different things because they're just really handy to have. So I don't really think we're going to need that, but we'll start with our bow. Our bow is going to define everything. This is six three four five six four nine. I love this. I think this is so pretty. So we're gonna need to put it up here. I'm gonna do a couple of these and then we want okay so this let's do like a yard and maybe 10 inches. So like 46 inches. I know that seems long. There's a reason. So we're gonna do I'm going to do like six inches. At least for this back part. So seven inches. It's just slightly shorter than seven, but it's pretty close. Here we go. Let's do three of these. All right, now we're just going to match these two up. Pretty. Look how pretty that is. It's so vibrant and very pretty traditional colors. I want to do I'm going to do, um... a little bit of white just to kind of break it up and to make this pop a little bit. But we are only going to use this to do our little curl things. Okay, so this is going to be, let's do like 10 inch. Okay, a little bit shorter. So right around six inches. We're going to do two of these. Six, there we go. And then this here, uptail these. And we have this beautiful stuff. So about the same, about 10 inches. We'll do six again. There, okay. We're going to get our zip tie, put it under here, get it started, pull it out so we can see our indentions. So we just want to hold it, slide it around, make sure everything's where we want it to be. Then we're going to put another zip tie in the back. Have you started Christmas yet? Ross, can you drop the practice down? Yeah. Okay. I'm going to show you how to fix that. Okay. So we get our zip tie under there. So that little bar is really not meant. for people to hang from it. So what you do is you flip it over like this, take two of the pieces, you bring them up, you match them and you twist them around each other. It's that simple. You can also take some of your nice thick rustic wire Rustic wire and and you can put it through that hanger and make a hanger as well. So either way you wanna do it, either way works, but you see, like to just make some from the pieces itself but you can do it either way. So either way you feel more comfortable. If it's not real thick and it doesn't have a lot in it just use your thicker rustic wire. So now that we've got it, just fluff it out. So I'm just gonna hold everything in the back, start our fluffing. Make sure you're getting those little pieces pulled out. See how nice and bright this This is against that white. So we'll trim this off. The trick to doing the bows at the top is to pull like one piece on each side and put your zip tie right below that so then your bow will not want to fall off again but it will be. I do push my zip tie to be not on the back part. Now what I want to do I'm going to re-fluff a little bit. We're going to start, we're going to have one piece right here so it'll almost look like a loop. I'm just going to tie it with a stem right there, come down, how long is this, about eight inches, okay, and we're going to do it again, and then one more time to the bottom, and then we're going to let that kind of hang down. We'll put one more little bow down here at the bottom. This is going to help elongate it. Okay, let's do the other side. So you can see kind of where I have it going, kind of down the side. Now you can do the same thing over here. You can do the side. You can do more towards the middle if you want. It really is not going to make any difference. It's going to look good either way. I like this a lot because what it does is it gives the swag basically more appearance. It makes it look larger. Okay, and we're going to put one bow here, okay? Isn't that pretty? Look how pretty that is. So for the bow for the bottom, I want to use these two. It's going to be a smaller bow with small tails, so 6-7 inch tail. And then, let's see, I'm thinking like a 5 inch loop. This is going to tie this ribbon to the bottom and this ribbon to the bottom. Two loops of this and one loop of this. You should have enough of this ribbon to do two of these two swags if you do it some yeah maybe i don't know about that one but for sure it read there we go so just one loop just like that it's just because i'm used to it that's all that's all it is i understand but once you do it and then it'll just become you know natural for you to do the same thing again and again and then it won't be complicated just that first time How things going in your shop everything's going well in your shop oh it's not okay This looks like it. I just posted a whole bunch of Christmas sign of ribbon sets. I have one more I have to work on and then probably another I'm going to add these to kind of go side like that. Okay, so I'm going to zip tie it down here at the bottom. See how it all ties in together. Pretty. Now we get to do all the fun stuff. I want to put some of these out. So these come in like groups of six. So you can see I want to add some of these in and so I'm going to start kind of with these. I'm just going to start adding it in to right into greenery. So this will help just kind of add a little bit more color you know different color green just helps kind of make the swag look even better when you just add things like this in. Make sure you're hitting that those pine So it'll hold it. I have, you know, a pretty decent amount of glue on it. I'm going to make sure it's hitting it. You know, they already have 50% off of everything at Hobby Lobby for Christmas. I'm so sorry to hear that. Do you have a recruiter? Maybe you need a recruiter if you don't already have one. Sometimes that really helps. I love this because it has all the, you know, looks like snow on it. Some of these longer pieces we'll kind of put in the center here. How pretty is that? So we can cut this up. I'm basically cutting it into two. So I do want the pieces to be coming out but I don't want them to, you It won't be too long, so... It works to cut them in half. See how I'm just kind of getting some in here on the sides. Just kind of want to put it all around okay. Okay I want to keep my line here. I don't really want to go beyond that where I've already put my ribbon and where I've kind of established my line. So I really just want to stay within that. So I'll just kind of tuck them back in there a little where you can see them coming out but they're not going beyond I love, love, love this one a little bit up here. So for the higher pieces where, you know, they need to come out a little bit, I just glue it a little bit closer to the end and then take care of that. I put a little bit, same on the other side. I'm going to put a little down here, underneath that, tuck it up in there. There we go. So it'll just kind of do a peek-a-boo, see how pretty that is? So all we're gonna do is just kind of layer things in. I like things like this because they can help you get some of the longer pieces that you need to get in, like especially towards the top, and you can pull them apart. All good. Yeah. So see, we can put some in here to kind of start to fill in some of this. Okay, so let's down a little. Put that in there. A little of that. So you want to do it on each side, doesn't have to be in the same spot, Just on each side. That way it'll be balanced, but you know it might need to go on one place on one side and somewhere else on the other side, so it's still going to look good as long as you have it on each side. I usually just kind of go back and forth, then it's not so hard. Try to make sure I'm going, you know, to get balance. I like putting some up behind the bow. That kind of helps, you know, with that. One kind of in there towards the bottom. This side. These are so pretty here. See if they pull apart. Yeah. I mean, usually these are just separate pieces that they, you know, wrap together. It's usually fairly easy to get them apart. You could also just cut them because we're going to have to end up cutting them anyways. Okay. I want to get some white in here, here. I like adding the white in because it's going to help kind of brighten everything up. And it also helps these other colors pop a little bit better. Let's see. Do I want to pull these? I think I am going to. I'm going to pull these apart. These little glittery balls are so cute. Tucked in. On the side. A little bit on the side. I didn't need to clean out my glue. I've got stuff in it. Put one here. Looks like it's little pieces of leaves. The crazy stuff that gets in your glue. I want to put some of the red berries in. Red in there. Kind of a little bit on the sides here. Make sure it's grabbing it. That side a little bit here. oh my gosh How cute is this. I want to put some of the pink in. oh I know here let's try this. so it does have a little place you can tie. oh actually I could do could do a stick on it. we're gonna tie the stick around fine wire. that way we can get it kind of coming up. get it to work like I want it to. I don't know that we need the stick. We may just be able to glue it in. Yeah, that works pretty good. I love these. Think, hmm, this here. Maybe one over here. I think, trying to see if I can find a place. Right there. There we go. So here we gonna need, I might use the rest of this, but I don't think we need, we don't need this, and we don't need that, or these. Yeah, I think this is plenty. Save that for our next project. Okay, twist this in and then touch. Just trying to see where I need to put some. I think it's good. All right, put one in here. So what I'm doing is kind of looking where there's a lot of green and red and I'll just kind of place it in there to kind of break up that color a little. I'm going to put one down here. I do like to put things under the bow just because you're going to be able to see some of that. I think that kind of makes it better, you know what See how it looks. I do have like three of these. So I want to just make sure that I don't have like places that I need to put it. Look how pretty that is. Yep. See then there's your hanger right there. One thing you can do too is kind of move your ribbons around a little. They don't all have to be kind of in the traditional place that you would put them. Pretty look. See how much longer it looks I keep wanting to look up. Isn't that pretty? Right here, I need one of those little, let's see, maybe a lime green. So when you lift things up and start moving it around that's when you can kind of see. No sign necessary. You don't even need something large because we just kind of spread it all throughout. And then next week we're gonna do a swag too, but we're gonna do the The Halloween swag with the black and white with that ghost. That reminds me, I need to check my app to see if they have any more of those ghosts. All right, y'all have any questions? This is sassy. It's hard. But we'll find another one when we're ready. But it isn't going to be a young dog, I'll tell you that. And it's not going to be a terrier. I was going to tell you this earlier. . Apparently, I'm highly allergic to terriers. . . . So, it's fine. . . . Look how fun this ribbon is, how it kind of goes like this, . . . and then like that, and then . . swoops down. . . I really like doing that with the ribbons because . . . then it really gives the whole piece a lot of . . . character. So and we just have splashes of the white here and there. . . . . . That breaks it up and helps . really pop those other colors. . . So awesome. Hopefully y'all enjoyed that. Right if I wish I had printed up. I printed out some of my new signs but I have not pressed them yet. So hopefully I'll have some of them pressed when I go live tomorrow night. I can show y'all. I made a whole bunch. Yesterday? Was it yesterday? It was yesterday. And today. Yesterday and today. I think all my days run together. I have to get up, look at the calendar, see what day it is. All right. I hope y'all have a great one. And I will see you guys tomorrow. And then, of course, next week. Okay? Good luck, Debra. Let me know how it's going. See you soon.
