11 Methods for Applying Mesh to Create a Wreath Base, How to Make a Wreath

Hi everyone, this is Shawna from Kitabi, and I'm so excited to show you today's video and I have this huge pile of

mesh

in front of me, that's not even a fraction of my stash, but all different types of burlap

mesh

. 21-inch mesh polyethylene. 10 inch mesh, what do we do with it? What are we going to do? So today you know, when I started as a

wreath

make

r, I wasn't sure I knew the difference between the

methods

or I would look at YouTube videos trying it. To find it, I remember seeing something but couldn't find it again, so today what I'm doing is kind of a compilation of all kinds of

methods

for

applying

mesh to the

base

of the crown, from a ruffle to the jackie. weaving, we're going to go over a bunch of methods and I hope you find this helpful and let's get off to a good start, next we're going to work on a ruffle

base

and I'm just using this is a dollar tree. wire frame is 14 inches and this one has cake wipers, there are 16 in total, I have nine on the outside and seven on the inside and I just spaced them every five inches and then our mesh, I cut one mesh into 30 inches long , this is just 10 inches, um, 10 inch decorative mesh, so we're going to do ruffles, um and with this 30 inch piece, so I'm going to place this in front of me, now similar to a ruching where it forms. of rolling the end when I

make

my ruffles I fold it a little under one edge to help with the fraying and then I start so once I spread my hands out I start in the middle and start scrunching all the way to the other side to

create

the ruffle and again when I get here to this side I fold it down a little bit, it just helps keep what it does is keep the raw edge kind of hidden a little bit then we're going to take our ruffle and add it to our first tie, it's okay, okay, you can see how it looks like a butterfly.

I'm going to do one more here, the next one I'll show you what we want. make sure they're next to each other, against each other, like this, not overlapping, okay, now we'll continue that process all the way around. I'm done with that one. I finished all the flyers. around the inside and again there were 16 pipe cleaners and then I did it, I cut 30 inch long 10 inch pieces of mesh to make the ruffles all the way to the end, so this was it for the base of the ruffles, next we're going to work . on a pancake

wreath

or at least the base, so I'm starting with a dollar tree, a wire frame, I think this is the 14 inch frame.

I don't use them very often, but it's useful for a pancake wreath because they are so flat compared to the raised work frames I normally use or other wreath bases, so what I did was and put a pipe cleaner on each of the cross supports on the two outer rings and then I went in and put one in the middle of each section, so let me show you up close here so you can see it, so I have one on the cross bar and then one on the center section, like this I have 12 in total, so six outside. two rings and six to the right inside two okay I cut my mesh I already pre-cut everything and I cut 12 pieces that are 30 inches long and you're going to start with a ruffle take this off so if you place your mesh in front to you and with your hands um flat on the mesh and usually with a ruffle um I like to tuck this edge in a little bit and yet we're going to flatten it out when we put it here So let's try it, so with your hands flat right in the center , you'll want to crunch and take small sections, don't be in a hurry we just want to cross to the end and try to stay in the center and keep working between your fingers, this one is pretty easy, it's colored so I can see where I am in the center, okay, so we've crossed it completely and we have this. um something like the shape of a bow tie and now the difference, so this is just a typical ruffle, right?

The pancake wreath needs to fit between storm doors, between a screen door, so we want it to be as thin as possible, so I'm going to put it on my first pipe cleaner and give it a good twist. Okay, so we would use a typical steering wheel. to our next tie and leave them next to each other to give it that rough effect. However, the pancake wreath you want to overlap you do it on both sides, we're trying to flatten our ruffle to make it as flat as possible, okay, so you're going to overlap here on this side, okay, here we've

create

d it almost looks like a flower, um, when we finished or in the shape of a flat pancake and I lost my pipe cleaner.

Well, I still need to get my pipe cleaner out, so here's my pipe cleaner, now next one and we normally space our pipe cleaners every five inches and we don't do it with a pancake wreath because it takes up a lot. space okay so now we're going to move on to the next one here and we're going to do the same thing and we're going to completely mess it up okay and we're going to put it on our next pipe cleaner now again we're not just trying to get it to overlap on itself , but we also want it to overlap the one next to it, but I'm going to focus on making it overlap this first again.

I'm just spreading it as thin as I can, okay, and again. I want to make sure it overlaps the one next to it normally. We want them to be facing each other, but in this one we want them right on top. Okay, now I'm going to continue with that in every way. so we've gone through the whole bottom section and there's one thing I'm going to point out that I didn't mention earlier is when you're doing this and you're flattening them out and they want to curve up towards you, um, you want to like, I have one here that does it. is doing so this one here wants to curve and you want to fold it so that the curly edge is pointing down otherwise you're going to have too much volume so any of those you just want to tuck them under push it in the opposite direction and make sure they all are as flat as possible, so now that we've done those, we did all six of them. the path now we're going to go back and we're going to do the same thing with this one that we did in the middle of the crossbars okay so we're going to do the same thing I'm done with that row um and I'll give you a close up here, but I want to point this out, you know, the purpose of the pancake wreath is to be very thin, to fit between the storm doors, so this here, this base, let me understand. my met or my um ruler real quick I can't find it right so this base um is maybe two and a half inches wide let me zoom in here um so you know, I would say about two and a half to three inches wide um here So a lot of my bases, when I do well with any other method, actually my bases usually end up being about seven inches thick, sometimes eight, usually around seven inches.

Now this is not very popular. I live in Southern California, so here in California, we obviously don't have storm doors, so it's not really a big seller for me here, but in areas where they have storm doors, the pancake race is very popular. and for anyone who really wants that, you know, condensed, low profile. pancake wreath is the way to go so again this was just using a dollar tree frame we used 12 pipe cleaners a roll of mesh I cut 12 pieces 30 inches long and that's what created our pancakes , here is our finished pancake and me. We'll see them in the next one, then we'll do um curls with this method.

This again, I'm using a 14 inch dollar tree frame and added pipe cleaners. I have 16 pipe cleaners here and I'm using three different ten inch meshes, so ten inches of each mesh, and I made sixteen, so I just laid the three of them on top of each other, spread them out and cut them nice, so four curls , and many times I make curls. I could add it, so maybe I made wrinkles or I did something else and I want to add just a little bit of texture, so I'm going to make curls in that case, so I'm going to grab my clip here real quick so I don't have to hold it, so all I I did was let it out and you always want when you're curling this, you're going to curl it with the cut edge facing in and that's probably the diameter of a quarter I would say. and I'm just going to have my clip on hold, I'm going to do the next one, okay, same thing, I really just wanted to hold it for me, my ombre and then I'll take the three so you have glam and any patterns. you want you're going to take and right in the center you're going to go to your first loop and you're going to place it nice and you always want to try to make the cut side of your mesh facing in, more on the bottom so that you're without fraying or having as much freedom to just recap on the outside, we had nine loops on the inside, seven loops, so a total of sixteen and I had three loops on each loop, one of each color, and they were cut to 10 inches, so this is what they would look like the curls now if we wanted to finish the crown and we had a ribbon also where our pipe cleaners are, however, for me, number one, this is a value mesh, so it's a little bit a little bit more transparent than what you know using a different type of mesh, but the curls that do just curls are I have visible gaps if you could see it, so for me my preference would not be to do just curls and like I said, even once.

I've added ribbons or things like that, you're going to cover a lot, but for me I would use curls on top of another base or another method, so if I had ruffles and then I added a curl or if I had poop and then I added a curl, something to fill, fill the spaces, but only one curl, not my preference, but I know everyone is different, so anyway, here is the finished base of three curls. See you soon in the next one, the next one. We'll be working on a gather and then we'll add some frayed mesh and see what happens, no really, this is one of my favorite wreath bases to use.

I love this one, it's oval shaped and flat with the twig ties and this one comes from Sims Pottery um and I love this joke. This is by far one of my favorite frameworks to work with, so let's get started, so I'm going to use this framework that we're going to use. two different types of mesh and we are going to make our first layer, I am using this one, it is chocolate brown with the natural jute stripe and I have cut 18 pieces that are 20 inches long, which is most of my truffles, so we are going to do a gather first and when I make this frame I do something specific with the gather, so let me show you, like a normal gather, let me get something to hold this side down, so if you place your mesh piece in front of you, with Curly side up and starting on one side, you just want to naturally follow the curl and let it bend once or twice enough to get it under those edges.

Now with a gather, the goal is to keep the edges frayed. um inside to help keep it from fraying and it also adds a nice texture, but then we'll turn it over and do the same thing on the other end once or twice and then with our hands inside. in front of us holding our um curl we're just going to meet right in the middle until we get to the other side and you're done with this okay now the real wrinkle of the forest ridge is you use 30 inches long however to me, I usually always do mine at 20. um, I rarely do a full 30, but that's up to you, but let me show you what we're going to do, so starting with my first tie, I'm going to add this one and normally when we would place ourselves on a wreath, we would leave it in a butterfly shape, however, when I do this, I turn mine, I will turn it this way so that part of my curl and ruffle sticks towards the bottom and the part towards the inside of the wreath, okay, I will continue this process in every way and then we will move on to the next step.

I'm done with that round of mesh, so again it was 18 pieces cut to 20 inches. long and I made a gather, this is what I do with these, so a lot of times once I put on my first round of netting, I'll go back and add a second netting to a gather, but instead of pulling it up. and down, um, what's that horizontal? I can't think that I would turn it the other way, so vertical, yeah, verizon vertical and I would turn it the other way, so let me show you now this one. I know this is totally counterintuitive, but I'm actually using frayed tinsel and a lot of times we use this, you know, in the fall for scarecrow wreaths, things like that, I've used my pumpkins, so with this because what I'm into working is actually Easter. for a bunny so with this piece of frayed mesh, again I cut this 20 inches long and now I'm just going to make a ruffle so what I'm going to do is I'm going to place this now instead of it being with the curly side up for the gathering, I'm going to put the curly side down, that's fine and I don't really care about fraying on this one, obviously it's a frayed edge mesh, so I'm just going to pull it all the way together to create a ruffle with my um frayed. mesh and now I'm going to start adding these to each of my ties, so I just untwist them, add that one, okay now and I'm going to continue with that, this really just adds, um, the frayed mesh just adds this texture to it .

It's very cute, so with mebunny I thought it would be perfect now, when I add this frayed mesh ruffle, I'm not going to twist it, I'm just putting it in, you know, in a butterfly or bow tie shape and then kind of spread this out, okay, so I'll just keep adding those to my center, so I went back and added my frayed mesh all over, so let me dartechicos, kind of a close up so you can see it, so this one was going to be because I have a rustic Easter bunny, so the reason why The one I really like this frame is because one with an oval shape when I'm making something like the big Easter bunny.

I have a lot of support here to hold anything I'm going to put on it and it just creates that really super full base that you can't see through this base when you're looking. You can't see anything here and it's quite narrow, let's see how thick it is. This measures about four and a half inches wide and four and a half inches, compared to all my raised frames, which can be seven. or eight inches um, this one is pretty thin um, but anyway, that's like that again, I had a ruffle on the bottom and then I came back with a ruffle on this frayed mesh on the top um, okay, I'll see you the next one next we're going to be working on a um kind of a different method um this one I've seen called two different things it's a mermaid scale or like a folded frill um so where am I?

For this one I'm going to use this one here it's like an ombre mesh um and then kind of a soft gold foil mesh and then this square wire frame um this one here came from the dollar tree, I think that's where I got this one, like this which I have some pre-cut mesh that's 15 inches long and then I have a bunch of pipe cleaners that I just cut in half, so let's start this here, so what are we going to do? I'm going to take one so when I do this I'm going to alternate between my gold foil and my ombre mesh and this ombre mesh is pretty light so we'll see how this goes and I'm going to put my mesh on. in front of me and I'm going to put this together like a normal steering wheel, okay, and I'll say it, the ones I've seen usually come in 10 inches, I decided to cut it into 15 inches to give me a little bit. extra on the edges to get it underneath to hopefully reduce fraying and when I made a 10 inch one I noticed a lot of the edges stick out so we're going to try it this way so once I have that kind of shape of bow tie, then I'm going to take my pipe planner right in the center and I'm going to pull that forward and give my pipe cleaner a good twist and now I'm going to take one of my sections. and I'm going to flip it over to put it on top of the other one so you can see up close what I'm doing, so I'm going to put it on top, okay, so I have both of them pointing in the same direction and now I'm going to start here in this type of center section.

I'm going to take my pipe cleaner and just take it back and wrap it up. I probably could have cut these pipe cleaners into thirds, but that's okay now I'm going to do the same thing with the gold gather in the middle and then I'm going to take my pipe cleaner and I'm going to roll it up and pull it forward and give it a nice twist. I'm going to flip one of them. up so they're both pointing in the same direction, okay, and now I'm going to place that right on top of the ombre mesh.

I'm going to get this going in the right direction. Here I'm going to put my pipe. Clean up and wrap it around the back and again we just want to make sure that our ombre overlaps and everything is pointing in the right direction, so I'm going to keep doing that on each section. I'm going to continue layering alternating. between ombre and gold so I'm done adding the mermaid scales and I think in total I used 36 pieces that were cut 15 inches long so it would have been 18 of each color and I did both colors. ombre and the light gold so 36 pieces in total and what I like I actually still see that this is a square frame, sometimes when you mesh it into a square frame when you're done it almost still looks round so I like it that.

This is still square, however, I want to say that this is a time-consuming method. I think this took almost an hour to make all the ruffles and then, you know, turn them around, so for me and that didn't even include cutting. For me, that's a little bit, um, I'm not a little bit, it's a very time-consuming project, especially if I have several crowns that need to be made, you know, spending an hour just on mesh probably isn't feasible, but if you just I'm doing this for a, you know, a wreath and that one is, it's very pretty, so let me show you a close up of the mesh, so all the mesh goes in one direction, and it's very pretty.

It gives a nice effect, um, and even though I use those layers of blue pipe paint, you can't, you can't see them, um, however, now, if I turn this around, so this is one, obviously, if you use a pipe cleaners of different colors. Okay, cool, but this is one I would need to cover the back if I were selling it to a customer. I would like to cover the back. And to do that, you would get a square placemat or a piece of felt. Attach it in a square shape, but I would also cut out the center so you can still see through, so you're basically just covering the crossbar section.

That's right, if I were going to sell it to a customer, I'd go through that. but otherwise, this is a really nice base, okay, that's it for this one, see you in the next one, this one here, we're going to do a um, uh, burlap, uh, uh, pull through, ruffle and so this. here's just one roll of burlap, pull this out here, so I have two rolls of burlap and a 14 inch dollar tree frame. Okay, we've got our burlap and I'm also going to use these just six inch zip ties. They're pretty small, if I had orange I'd use them, but okay, so I'll grab our burlap, set this aside and get started.

I'm right here on the raw edge. and I'm going to gather this up here and I'm going to take one of my zip ties and I'm going to put it through my burlap, like I'm working there, okay, and then I'm going to tie it. Actually, when I get this crossbar, hold on tight, so we just want to secure it, so I'm going to cross, we'll call this ring one, two, three, and four, so I'm going to move on to ring two and then one on my crossbars. and then we'll tighten this so we have it secured there to begin with and I'm going to cut off the excess zip tie and just push it down so I don't get my finger in it.

In that now, taking out is exactly we're going to lift up the burlap between two of our or one of our rings and then you're going to grab one side of the mash here or the burlap that I've been working on. with mesh all day, that's all I can think of, so we're going to lift this up and you want them to be pretty even and we're going to keep lifting it and bringing it back together, I want it to be that way. try to be perfect, but we're going to keep tightening this as we go and keep fluffing, you want to make sure it's nice and tight in each of your sections, so in this 14 inch frame, um there.

There are six sections, yeah, six accent sections, um, so in each of those sections you want it to be pretty tight there, you don't want it to move around once you've tightened it as much as you think you want it, um. secure it with an extra zip tie um some people don't um I do just want to make sure it doesn't go anywhere okay, okay, I think we can secure it here, I think we're good, yeah, okay, so I'm going to take another bridle now, this time I'm going to go down a little bit, I'm going to go through my mesh and I'm going to tie the bridle down, so by that I mean I'm going to turn it over in the tie it again and here you can see this is where our mesh is along that bar that's all together, we're going to take this tight clip out of the excess and now I'm going to go to the next section and Just repeat the same process, so I did it all around and tied the last one zipped and I cut off the excess so now you just want to go through and you don't want to see that center wire so just type. of fluff as you twist and pull these a little bit so this makes a very simple little ruffled burlap wreath and then you could add like a simple bow or you could take the next step, so anyway that's it. this one for a burlap removal method using six inch burlap and just a dollar tree wire frame, okay, see you soon.

In this one we are going to work on a bubble wreath and we will only use 10 inch mesh normally. I mean a ball race, you can make 21 or 10 inch meshes. I'm actually just doing it with a 10 inch mask to show you the general process, so I have a bunch of pipe cleaners here, I just cut them in half and a zip tie, so with my 10 inch mesh I'm just going to put the end together here, okay, and right here on my crossbar, I'm going to tie my mesh, run my chubby fingers through there, there we go, okay, so that's really just to hold it up while we get started, let me cut my zip tie and I just fold it over, push that flange down and be careful not to touch it with your finger, so everything is a bubble and I try to keep it raw. edge of your mesh tucked underneath, so if you measure 10 inches and you bring it back, you're creating this little bubble, okay, we're going to use one of our zip ties, I mean our pipe cleaners here and I'm going Stop, I'm using the second bar to wrap and I'm just going to pull my pipe cleaner down and give it a good twist, okay, now I'm going to do the next one again, I'm just going to pull it out 10 inches let's make sure the edges are on the right side, wait, this one mesh likes to stick to itself so go out 10 inches and go back and get our pipe cleaner again, I'm actually going to use that one next to it to wrap up and down, twist and then while you're working and you have your little bubble here, you're going to keep bringing them together, okay, to create your bubbles, so we're going to continue again ten inches and keep going. back and then I'm going to give this a twist, push it up, you can see we're like open like a fan, it comes back out 10 inches, usually I can use this pipe cleaner that we made before once or twice you can use it instead of getting a new cake cleaner, okay, you're going to push that back, so you're going to keep doing that to fill out each section so you can see it's creating our little bubbles here.

I'm going to keep doing that all the way around the bubble braid so you can see what it looks like. This is just using a value mesh, a basic yellow value mesh, um, I'll tell you though. when you haven't, I haven't made a bowl wreath in a long time, I'm by no means an expert at that, nothing, um, and when you haven't made them in a long time, um, and you do it again, remember? because? you don't make that kind of wreath, a bubble wreath, there's a couple of things, it's very hard on arthritis to try when you have to manipulate those pipe cleaners on the back and repetitively, over and over and over again, and try.

Fishing for them is very hard on the fingers and the arthritis in my hands is killing me right now, on top of that it takes a long time, we're at 47 minutes, I think it took me to do this, and I'm not slow. I mean, I am when I talk, but it takes a long time and thirdly, this type of crown now, if this is just a hobby for you and you even enjoy it and you don't have any arthritis problems, then it's probably perfect. For you, however, for me, this type of wreath is not going to make me money, they are pretty and there are a lot of things you can do to them, that kind of thing, but it is not my preference, I would say mainly my hands. they're just throbbing right now they're killing me um but anyway we did it for the purpose of this video series um so here's the full bubble wreath and that's it for this one and see you in the next.

We'll see what it will be after my hands take a break for this one. We are going to make a double pouf. I'm using a 21 inch mesh and I'm making these two together, they both look pretty. through um and then just do a poop with just one um I didn't think that was enough so we're going to do a double poop so I'm going to pull my mesh and I'm using a 15 inch job. raised wreath farm shape and two 21 inch meshes so I'm going to put my mesh together at the same time and I just have them rolling on my table so it's better with me standing.

I'm going to bring the end together here and to the right. Before my first tie, I'm going to sew the tie and then I'm going to cut off the excess tie here and I'm going to turn it around so it's not touching it. With my mesh, especially the ends here, we're just going to cut off not much, but that's okay, so I'm going to take both sets of mesh in my hands now, normally when I poof and go out, I skip a tie. and I go out to my next tie as a measure and then I bring it back to this tie okay so tie it so again take my hands and I'm going to take it to my next tie or I'm going to to jump one to my next maximum and then I'm going to bring my hand back if you feel the need to measure, you can measure about 10 inches, okay, make sure your poop is spread out a little bit, and I'll move on. all the way there okay, so I made it all the way back to the bottom section, um, so let's jump to the top andto do that, all you need to do, um, it's called bridging, is just bring the mesh together in your hands. and bring it and usually I'll tie it to the first one, keep repeating the poufs, so again I'll gather it in my hands and bring it.

I'll skip one tie, move on to the next one and then bring it back and then open my pouf. I'm going to keep doing that until the end, so I've gone back to where I put the bridge. from the bottom row to the top row, I've cut my mesh, so I'm going to open that tie and I'm going to carefully lift that row of mesh and tuck this under so you don't see my frayed edges and I'm going to twist that closed again and open up my bean bag and there we have it, so this bean bag is making a uh, I use two 21 inch meshes, one on top of the other to do this because this one was This mesh was kind of see-through, um, so I double layered it. to poop around um, so you can see, I mean, it's pretty full this way, I have some kind of spaces, um, if you can see like here, um. and sometimes, so what do I do on my frames when I'm tying?

Once I added all the ribbon, my ribbon and all that, I pull, I put this one underneath and I tie it to the top and I do the The same thing goes for the bottom or top to bottom, so it brings it together a little bit, like this which I'm not too worried about there being a little gap there and tape and mesh and things like that, but it's not what it is. It's not as solid, I guess you would say, like the previous one we did with the pouf and the curl, and you could, and a lot of times I do, this is where I'll go back and add a curl or a ruffle in the middle.

We kind of filled in some of that void and added another layer of texture, um, but for this video, for the purpose of this video, we're just making a bean bag so you can see what it looks like. Alright guys, I'll be back soon with another one. See you so, this one we're going to work on is the Jackie fabric and we're going to use a 21 inch mesh and I precut 18 10 inch wide pieces to create our fabric so let's go. I'm going to show you what we're going to do, so first you're going to start with the first cut piece that's 10 inches wide and you're going to give it a curl and then you're going to fold it in half and make sure it's cut. edge or your raw edge that's straight, there's um inside the curl um and then we're going to measure from the tail, we're going to measure 5 inches, so we want to make sure that the part that's sticking out is five inches long and then we're going to put that on our first tie, okay, so you have this on what looks like a ribbon, okay, and my whole mesh is scanned up here, let's grab the next one, roll it up the same way, now this time we're going to go over one end through the loop and again you want to keep the cut edge in and fold it in half again and we want to go five inches and then tie it to our tie, okay, now you have two loops that are kind. inside interlaced interlaced like this um and then your tail sticking out now we're going to take another one and create another ribbon so turn it around and then fold it in half and then we're going five inches okay so let's go with this one to place it right on top of the which we just did and we'll make sure our queues alternate there.

Now I'm going to weave it back into this loop here, pull it through, and then fold it over. down the middle, okay, and then we want five inches on the end, okay, so again our two loops interlocked into our tails, so I'm going to continue that process all the way around, okay, so I finished the bottom section, so now I go. to jump to the top and do the exact same thing, uh, it's all done with that one, so we went through and did the top row, as well as interlacing the rolls, and then we added a ribbon as we went, so this is what jackie weave seems to be complete um and I really like the fullness of this and how they're braided together so that's it for this one and I'll see you guys in the next one we have this very strong ah this is about the only color frame that I was able to find it close enough to what I was doing, so we're going to make it work, so we're going to do this one, it's called again a couple of different things, I've seen it called double tape awareness tape um, a double lube, I think, um, so this one, um, so I'm using a 15 inch raised work frame on this one, I'm using two 21 inch meshes, um, you can use the saying, um, you can use, you know. two different coordinating tights, it's really up to you, but I'm cutting it.

I had already cut 36 pieces that were 10 inches wide, so you could use a full roll and just cut the entire roll at 10 inches each or you would use. like half a roll of two rolls, okay, so what we're going to do is let me grow a clip here, so I've already pre-cut it and I have a piece of both, so on the first one I'm going to take and how. It's rolled up, we're going to make a pretty tight little curl here, like this, then we're going to fold it in half, this is similar to the jackie weave that we did before and you want to make sure that the cut side is down or So now I'm just going to cut this out, I'm not going to put it on my wreath yet, so I'm going to cut it out and then on my second piece I'm going to do the exact same thing, roll it up and fold it. in half, cut the side in and hide the raw edges as much as possible to prevent them from fraying, okay, now we have two of this shape of ribbon, so what we're going to do is reverse one of them so that it has a loop and tails on both. sides right and then we're going to put that on our tie so what I'm going to do is alternate which one is face up so we're going to put this right now take another one and I'm going to alternate that Same thing, pretty tight curl, fold it down the half, I'm just going to pinch it for now, grab the other one, fold it in half, now this one, I'm going to put it on top this time and it's going to go right next to me, flip it over and like that.

What I'm doing is here where I have my loop. I'm kind of fitting that in between my queues from the previous one just to help fill in some space so you can see what's going on. Okay, so I'll keep repeating. That in every way I did around the bottom section, so you can see how they overlap each other, very similar to jackieweed, they just aren't connected to each other, so now I'm going to continue that process on the inner ring, all done with that one, I made it around the top row adding our double ribbons or consciousness, mesh, so just as a refresher, I made 36 pieces, 18 of each color. um cut 10 inches and then rolled it or curled it and then created the ribbon effect and then had two overlays on each um on each tie so you can get a closer look at it, other than my bright orange tie sticking out, which when I was done , you won't see it, but now I see all the details, the only thing I would say, this version compared to the jackie wave, I think the jackie weave is a little full, not necessarily fuller, but it covers the spaces more um this one here like if I had to maneuver it um kind of work to make sure everything is covered and obviously once you have the ribbon tails and the bow and everything, you're going to cover a lot too and I made this very light colored mesh, which is nice because once it's rolled up and all you really can't see through the mesh, it's the holes between the mesh that have to work to cover them, so that was it for that. one and I'll see you in the next one, next we're going to work on the poof and curl method.

I am using a 21 inch mesh and have a raised work frame. This one is 15 inches. It's 18. it's tied and then I'm using 21 inch mesh and I've precut 18 pieces that are 15 inches wide. I'm still going to remove this one and what we're going to do is with our it's 15 inches wide and we're going to let it curl naturally to create a curl, okay, and we're going to go five inches from this end, okay, so five inches right here, I'll put it on my first tie and you. I want the cut side or the raw edge of the mesh inward at the bottom and again now we're going to go five inches from this side, okay, and now you've got your two curls on the end and then in the middle. we want our bean bag, so we're going to open this up, extend it outwards, we're doing okay, so we're going to do the same thing on the next one and again five inches and I suggest measuring it that way each one. of your curls at the end are the same now with this one because it is a three-color mesh.

I'm paying attention to what mesh I'm overlaying and if you have stripes or something, then just be careful. your boss, okay, open our bean bag, this would be a little cranky this morning, she keeps wanting to snuggle again, okay, here we go, okay, so we'll continue that process in every way, I'm just overlapping them as we go. so I finished the bottom row of the poof and curl and now I'm going to move on to my inner ring that I have, I had 10 on the bottom, I have 8 on the inside, I'm just going to do the same thing over and over again. paying attention to the direction of the color on this because it's a tricolor mesh, so on five inches on both sides we're going to do five inches from this end and then our hoof in the middle we're going to open that up and then we're going to continue with that on every way, so I did the top layer and you could leave it at this point.

This is a total of 18 pieces, one on each tie, however what I usually do is go back and add one. on the top layer to help fill in the spaces and push down, so I'm going to do that. I'm just going to add an extra one to the top row and let me show you that this one will actually flip to the other side. and I'm just going to overlay what's there, cross my colors, okay and then open my pouf again, just spread this out, open it up so now you have your posts and curls that really fill that void here, so I'm going to do that a again around the top so I added the extra piece on top in the top section and this base, I use it occasionally when I have a lot of leftover 21 inch mesh that needs to be used and I can make multiple colors and that way use what I have, but it also covers very well, so depending on the mesh you are using and how well it covers, you may only need all 18 pieces or you may need the full 26. it depends on the mesh, um, so this one, I mean see how colorful it is and it's very full, I mean, this combination is kind of sheer, but um, it makes a very pretty base, so this was the pouf and the curl with the 21 inch um, so that's it for this one, okay guys, uh, that's all I have to show you today, um, but I want to point out a few things even though I could have shown you, you know, a technique for a curl.

Don't forget you can add that to so many different types of bases, same with a steering wheel. You know, a ruffle can be added with a 21 or 10 inch mesh. It can be made of 21 inch mesh just because I've shown you. The basic technique can be applied in many different ways and hopefully, if anything, maybe you learned something new today or maybe you got an idea for the next project you want to try. If you have any questions, don't hesitate to leave them. in the comments and I'll get back to you as soon as I can um for now I'm going to give my hands a rest my hands are really tired um they're a little beat up today um and thank you all for staying Come out with me and see you next time.

I hope you have a wonderful and blessed day.
