DIY Angel Vine Square Wreath With Peonies and Fern Leaves |Special Guest Cherbear |Hard Working Mom

Okay, oh I hate it when it does this. It's gonna ask me all the stuff. Okay, I don't remember what is that it? No, hold on y'all. All right, let me see if I can tell if I'm on. My computer is being a pain in the rear. Okay, it's on. It's working. Y'all, this computer, like seriously. Okay, I'll put it up here and then I can see what's going on. All right. Hey, sorry y'all. It's I can't remember my password and uh yeah. I don't know. Oh, oh my gosh. That's funny. Okay, is that it? That was it. That was it. Okay. All right, so we're gonna do. Have y'all ever designed on one of these? This is um I think it's oh it's actually the 12 inch. I was thinking it was the 10, so I'm gonna have to go back to fix that, but this is um these are moss cover grease. This one has little vines on it. It's actually like a metal frame back here behind this that you can't see and then it has a little bit of like sticks on it, so I think that's gonna be super cute. Why does it make me do this like 15 times? Okay, there. Hold on y'all. I can't tell. Sorry, it's because of my Facebook and having to redo everything, so I had to change all my passwords and now I'm having trouble remembering them. Okay, what's the password there? Okay. Oh, I see why I missed it now. All right, this way I can just make sure that I can see what I'm doing. Here we go. Now I got it. All right, so how are y'all doing today anyway? Yes, that's me. Yes, it's me. Okay, there it goes. Now we got it. All right, let's get our little canvas doing there. Okay, so these are super cute and I like them because this one is a 12 inch, but it's it's something a little different and what we're going to do is we're going to kind of design down here and then we're going to use a little bit of ribbon to kind of hang it with and I was thinking about, look at these. Aren't these pretty? I was trying to decide if I thought they were too big. I was gonna because I actually, if time allows, I have something else I want to play with. Let's see if it seems too big. It's a little big. Hmm. All right, so let's do this one on the other one and on this one we're going to do these smaller. So these are little green and purple leaves. We have, y'all, I have one and only one of the maiden hair bush left. I did order some though and they're coming in. So they were shipping my stuff out today, thank God, because it was starting to get a little lean around here. So I'm pulling off the smaller ones from the center. Okay, and then maybe a couple of the big ones. All right, let's see. So with this in mind, let's use like a purple. We'll do a purple ribbon. Okay, so how are y'all doing today? So you want to make sure you bend your greenery. I'm going to kind of start down here at the center like that. The two big ones on the end here like this. There. Isn't that pretty? I think I want it to be. Yeah, that's better. Cut these little pieces off. So what y'all up to today? Y'all had a good day? You had to pay Uncle Sam today? Ouch! I haven't even looked at ours yet. When I left, my husband was meeting with Merrill Lynch because, you know, he and his sister inherited his mom's estate and she had it with Merrill Lynch. So I think they're trying to see if they can get him to stay. He's not real happy with them right now, so it'd be real interesting to see how they try to convince him. How it works out? Yeah, because they did not tell his mother that she really needed a beneficiary and so now all of that has to go through probate and the judge is being a butt about the address on the birth certificate was wrong. So he's making them redo it and it's going to take weeks to do it because apparently if you have to get it redone, then it runs into, you know, the dreaded time thing. Oh, this takes eight to ten weeks. Right. Okay, so we got some big grass. I like these because they're really easy to do. So I'm actually going to cut the big grass into two pieces. So one that has a little bit more and one that just has a little tiny bit. I'm just going to put glue on the end because I'm entirely too lazy to, you know, bend it over. Just being honest, just going to tell you, this does not want to go up. I'm trying not to push it off the end. Okay. Oh, that's tiny. So the smaller ones I'll put towards the inside and the larger one I'll put towards the outside and I'm just going in at an angle. Oh, that's cute. We've got these two. Okay, pull these down. These are the little bit larger of the bean grass, bead grass. So this is CS14700. So the little ones we're going to put in front. Hey lady, what you doing? Bow makers. Let me add them to my pile before I forgot again. See how it makes a nice little base to put? I still wonder if I should even just the one. That's so pretty. If it was just a tiny bit smaller. I know, right? I have, see, I keep looking over there thinking I've got something that's going to work. Okay. I want to kind of bend these out. Peonies are usually very large. I know, but sometimes I'll get one kind of put in. That looks like a peony. I know. And I know I have white ones. I was hoping maybe I had a different color. Look how that went in. Oh, those are actually, those are, um, supposed to be ranunculus, but I don't know. Ranunculus. It doesn't look like it does it, but that's what they're supposed to be. These are cute though. I like these. They're kind of like delicate looking. I like. Those are a cross between a ranunculus and a rose. Uh-huh. What will we call that? A cross between ranunculus. That's so funny. Okay. Right back here. Even something in like a yellow or a green would work. Hmm. I think that would be too something. You have to put your foot on the bottom and then it turns. I know. I don't know what's up with that. Yeah. It's, it's, it's special. It is. It is. It's got a lot of weight. I know. Well, and things like to fall out too. These are pretty. I don't think that would match though. Those are pretty though. What about faux show? I just thought maybe there might be something on here that would work. That would probably work. And it's not huge. Yeah. Three of those. And I could put this kind of in. Let's see if we like that. There's Susan. That's better. Oh, that's cute. Is there one more? I probably need one more. That needed to have one more. Oh, what about this? It's still kind of big. There's these, they have, there's some tiny little ranunculus over here in the purple. Is there? Yeah. Bring it. Let's get it. I like these on the outside though. Look at that. Little daisies. I want to see if this works. It's kind of big, but oh, I kind of like that. Oh, look at that. That's cute. Can we get that over here? Yeah. There's these still tiny ranunculus. Isn't that pretty? What's that white bar? Oh, that would be pretty too. Let's look at that one. See, I liked this one because it had a green in the center. Let's see. I do love this. This is ranunculus. Yes, it is. That needs two. That might be a little better though than one. Maybe even three. Yeah. I'm having trouble locating. There. That's better. I like that. See, look at that. Isn't that cute? So, it's got like a little grouping of three, and then we've got some kind of out at the side, and then we just take our ribbon here. I super love these though. These purple flowers. Those are, yeah. Can you stick that over there? I love those. Anywhere? Yeah. Did you take a pink rotary cutter home? We should. I hope we did. I think we did. I gave you one, right? Did I give you? I gave you all rotary cutter, didn't I? I didn't put any in. Oh, whoops. I think we went back and put stuff in it though. It may have. It's still in the car. I can go check. Have you even looked at it? Dawn didn't look at her until she got home. I mean, I can't say I'm surprised because, you know, it was just a little busy. These are pretty too though. Yeah, those are pretty. I don't know what these are. I can't remember. Ruffle dahlia. Yeah. Well, that's why we like it. It's still a dahlia. Still a dahlia. Okay, then we're just going to take some of our... I think the flowers on the floor over here are multiplying. I know. Well, it was better, and then we were looking for something and everything fell out, so it was like, oh, well, I'll deal with that later. Of course. Thank you for the help. We love it. You know we do. What you'll really love is when we go back to Nashville. I just got to pick a date so we can all... Oh, you can't do September. No, that's right. October is probably crap too. Not in my office. It is usually dead quiet in my office in October. Is it? Yeah, because nobody has any money. Yeah. They don't ever release the budget until January, so... So you have to just sit on your hands. Pretty much. That's when we get caught up on everything we don't get done July, August, or September. I put a little piece of glue on that just to keep it together. Look how cute and easy that is. Yeah. And quick. That's the goal. We're going to do another one too. So I wanted things I could do fairly quick because I wanted to do two of them. Now these can be really any season. They can also be every day, but these are super cute for weddings on the back of chairs. See isn't that cute? Look at that. See it? So cute. See how quick and simple? And it didn't take that much stuff. Now we're going to have fun. Now we're going to have fun. Okay. You want anything? No, I'm good. Thank you. This I've shown y'all before, right? I love square wreaths and they're like impossible to find. So one of the reasons I got this stuff is so I could make any shape I want to. What did I do with the frame? You can actually take a Dollar Tree square frame, wrap it with the angel vine, and then it's going to look like a square grape vine, but it's going to be really still be much cheaper. Okay. I'm going to do a zip tie down here at the corner and then the rest, because I know I'm going to put something in this corner, the rest we're really going to do because I'm out of, I think I'm out of brown zip ties. Pretty sure I am. Oh that one, that looks like it. So what you do is just take some of your bind wire. Oh, I need my, I know I saw my needle. Oh, there it is. So take one of your weaving needles. It's just easier for me to get it through if I have my weaving needle. I'm just going to tie it on in several places and it just blends right in. Put it, so I'm not wasting a bunch. There we go. Have y'all ever done anything with the square ones? I love the square ones. You can do this without the frame. I think it just makes it a little bit easier to deal with. If you just go over to the Dollar Tree, grab a square frame and just throw it together. It just kind of gives it some structure to hold on to. See if I can get it. Yeah, I can get it. I thought about cutting it, but I don't really want those loose edges. Let's put the brown zip tie up here. See if we can hide it. Yeah, that's pretty good. Where's that? See and this is much wider than some of the other ones that I've worked with in the past. So that's why I like it because it's wide enough to cover this whole frame. This is just how you take something from the Dollar Tree and really elevate it. Look how cool. Is that just like a? It's a Dollar Tree square frame with angel ribbon. It's actually angel ribbon, angel vine ribbon. This is the stuff they make those angel vine wreaths with. It's all the stuff they make the bird nest with. I've never seen it in a rope. Well, they call it ribbon, but that's what it really is. It's a rope. A rope of it. It's kind of cool. I just like it because I can do whatever I want with it. This is much easier than making that little heart. That heart was kind of a pain. If I did that heart again, I wouldn't use wire hangers. This is the hard part getting it around that corner. So I did not have a rotary cutter in my bag, but I did have a candle and I was wondering why my car was smelling really good the last few days. I thought we put a dang. We should have. Well, there's purple one out there. Just go get one. They're purple with white like this. Isn't that nice? I know you love purple because we have the same favorite. Isn't that cute? I don't know if she's listed that or not. Oh, that was weird. Okay. Not nearly as bad as making your. Oh, here you go. How many of you have ever made your own grapevine? Have you ever made your own grapevine? I have done it. And let me just tell you, it's worth the money for them to do it. Yay. I'm so glad you like your new rotary cutter. They had yellow too, but I wasn't sure about yellow. So I just got the black, the pink and the purple. Just a couple other places down on the inside. All right. I moved my little thing and I don't know where it went. Oh, it went on the floor. No wonder I couldn't see it. I'm telling you. And what I'll do around these corners is I'll spread it out like this and then I'll get those two little spots and that'll fix it from showing the frame. It's messy, but it's really fun. Everything we do is messy, but fun. Right? Isn't that the truth? And we'll have plenty left too. So on the corner, the trick is to kind of bend it over. There we go. So that you have a little excess to kind of play with. If you don't have a little excess, it's hard to get it to cover the frame. I was about to nose dive into my apron. I'm telling you. See how you can kind of spread it apart like this? Then you just kind of bunch it up a little bit. It might help if I get under the frame. Okay. I tell you, if it wasn't so hard to find the square ones, but it is impossible to find them. They are really expensive. I know because I got some and I was kind of a little shell shocked. So you've got a good amount left. Even after you get all the way around, not as bad. There we go. Could I get you some what? Twig vines for group. It comes like this stuff. Oh, you're talking about the angel vine? Are you talking about this stuff? I have this. I'll send you some. I have tons of it actually. Yeah, I have a lots of it. I'll send it to you. I have some angel vine wreaths too. I can send you those too. See, and I just kind of made it so that it covers where we started. It wasn't bad. See, that didn't take too long. And you really only have to tie it occasionally. You just want to kind of tie it occasionally just to make sure it's going to stay down with the frame. And it's easy just to tuck it right back in. And it's easy to use your weaving needle works really well. It's more like grape vine material. It's this stuff. It's the same stuff. Like I got to go to Carolina Pottery this weekend. I can see if I can see what she's talking about. I'm not sure what she's talking about. I mean the only thing I've ever seen at Carolina Pottery is grape vines and then this stuff. And this is how they make them. I've seen them back there in their little thing whipping crap out. See how cool? Look, see doesn't that look like a square grape vine? I'll probably come around later and fix these other spots because I want to have enough time to decorate it. I do want to fix this though. We will investigate. I will investigate Susan because I got to go this weekend. Hey hey Miss Dawn are you feeling better? No it was different. I don't know. What did it look like? Was it like a wreath? Inquiring minds need to know. What did it look like? It may require a trip and a call. Like a faced up call. Oh no. Is it still the cold stuff? That stinks. There. All I have to do now is fix this corner. Well actually messy messy messy. Holy cannoli. This is like when you clean out a grape vine. Okay now now we're going to decorate. This one once I get it all fixed is perfect. This one's perfect. This one's going to be perfect. I think I want to do this corner. This one has a little bit of see-through in it and maybe this corner. What I do is pick the corners that I think are going to be the hardest to kind of make sure you can't see and that's the ones I decorate because that works. Whoops did I just toss one over there? You sure did. Well we may not need it. All right this one what we're going to do is we're going to do top and bottom like this. So you can either do it this way or this way. This one will do those pretty peonies. I wonder if we have any ribbon that kind of looks like this. Probably should have done that. Looks like like that. Got me one of them. What to do what to do. What do we got? What's we got? Hey Cece. Did you see the video of Cece putting Susan's mascara on? Yes. That was pretty good. Look at that. It's like it's cut off in the center. It's weird. Very weird. Oh you know what? Go up where they cut the stuff because I think we have something that color in a 50 yard roll. Even one I think we might have gotten from Sam's. It's like almost like a peachy pink like a coral color. Yeah. Okie dokie. Cece look it's the square Dollar Tree frame. We've been talking about this when she was here. All right a little bit of this a little bit of that. Oh my gosh I wish I could have seen it too. I bet it was hilarious. I don't know why y'all didn't just do fake lashes. That seems like it would have been a better solution. I like this one because it kind of spreads out. Isn't that cute? See how it mimics. Want some in front some behind. Okay top. You want them to have the same. It doesn't have to be exactly the same but it needs to at least be kind of you know matching. Not doesn't have to be exactly the same. Did you find something? Yeah that's what I was thinking of. It was a solid. I can't think of any others I have. That is a perfect match. Like it really don't get any closer than that. Oh that's pretty. Then I can just take a few of these off. I have a few in the front. This angel vine is a lot more forgiving than grapevine is. It's one of the reasons I like it. Oh my gosh so pretty. Okay in here that's pretty. I wonder if I should put I think I want to put one here and then have the ribbon tails coming down. Yeah. Hey there. I think what we're gonna do. Look how pretty that is. We could even put let's just see if we want to get our tails in there. I don't know if I like that or not. I'm trying to decide if I want a third. I don't know why I'm liking the three thing today. Mine I don't like that. Two is much better. All right so for this down here we're just gonna do loopy loops. Let's do like these are what like six inches? Yep maybe five. When I'm doing these I am not twisting. I'm just kind of pulling over. Bella really? You think? Because holy cannoli girl. Okay Bella's providing us with a little extra fragrance in the back. Her own air freshener. I don't know where it went. Oh there's enough for one more. So I'm gonna put one more in the back. I'm gonna put this through the I want to control where it goes so I'm gonna I don't even know if I'm gonna need it though because the flower's gonna cover it. The only thing I gotta get rid of is this piece. Right in through the top. Very simple. Now we can do our little curlies. Then if you want you can put a sign right across the middle. I had I was looking through my signs but I couldn't find one I really like but let me show you what I mean. Like this. You just kind of nestle it in there like that. Okay that kind of looks cute. Kind of works. It does. It does work and it fits the size great. Yeah it's kind of almost perfect. All right let's put these in. Yeah so see in an hour we did two. So it shows you that you don't always have to have a whole lot and we use the same supplies on both one. Both of them. I just took out my thing but that's okay. That's funny. But the point being that some people like really simple. Some people like over the top. So today we just kind of did a couple simple. I like the simple though. Sometimes less is more. Here we'll see. Here we go. There's that one. Now that is stinky cute. I would detach it but Bella will have a fit if I hit that staple gun. Oh yeah you heard your name didn't you? And then here's the other one. Look how cute. That's so cute. Let's see this would be cute too with your Christmas florals and a cardinal. Oh it would be cute with a cardinal. You could also put like a little nest down in there. I like with the branches. The branches are what make it. Yeah I've been stuck on angelvine. Look at all this angelvine. We will not do angelvine next week. I just realized how much angelvine I've done. Do y'all get stuck on things? I get stuck on things sometimes. Well now you know what to do with them. Now you know what the rodeo. What'd you say? Oh yeah share bear's gonna come and do a lot for us. All right y'all. Awesome. Oh I didn't even put in the baby's breath. See we had these left from the retreat. So gosh when I'm gonna do something I pull out like everything I have because I don't plan. Have y'all figured that out yet? I'm not a planner. I kind of figure it out as I'm going along. I don't think any of us are planners. No creatives are not planners. That's why we take like 15 million billion supplies. Then we get there and we say I don't like that. Oh I really like that. Well maybe I need. And then we're out looking for something else. Okay. Yeah so by the time we're done getting supplies for one week we have enough supplies. I knew I had some. See look. I told them I knew I had some. Ficus. All right y'all. Well I will see you guys for sure next week. We're gonna get you a box together Susan. Wait till our new stuff comes in because if I had to pick from what we have right now. Well we did get a whole bunch of new floral stuff in from Sims today. So we do have that. But oh and we got some of those. The small evergreens and what else did we get? Oh the small grapevines. A little 14 inch and the small evergreen frames. So maybe we'll send you a couple of those. Awesome. All right y'all. I guess I better get ready for the next one. I'll see y'all in a few. Bye y'all. Hey at least everything worked on the live now. If I were to use mesh. So I would probably do. If I was going to do mesh on it I would do ruffles. Kind of small compact ruffles. That's what I would do. Or I would do curls. I would probably do ruffles though. I feel like with ruffles you could probably keep the square shape. Yeah.
