This tutorial demonstrates how to transform a window pane frame into a seasonal decorative piece using mesh, ribbons, and faux greenery. The instructor guides viewers through securing a structural base, creating professional bows, and layering botanical accents to achieve a textured, asymmetrical floral arrangement suitable for various holidays.
Here we go. Why do I always have to hit this twice before it works?
Sorry
Hey y'all
All right
We're gonna be doing one of these. Um window panes. It's from stephanie
Let me tell you what the number is
It's um a p
zero
Three six three one zero
so the
Little hanger is actually right here, but these are super easy to move. They're just little screws
I think we're actually going to use it like this
I have several of these and we're going to use them a few times
So I thought i'd show you what i'm going to do on um youtube
and I thought i'd show you kind of what my idea is because
Um
I think it's gonna be really cute. Okay
so
At the dollar tree you can get these little
You know these little like boxes
and my idea was
to take these
And attach them to the window across and then put stuff in them like they're
planters
So i'm gonna do that one on youtube. I don't know if i'm gonna do it this way
Or this way I haven't decided yet probably this way so that I can do maybe like a
Like a little bow or something up here, but I think that's gonna be cute right now. It's housing some of my screws
All right
We are not doing that we are doing something different
We're gonna do
Several years ago. I did
one
at christmas time
Um, so we will do another one of those this year
But
What I want to do
Is kind of corner to corner. So i'm going to decorate this corner and i'm going to decorate this corner
We're going to use
um kind of this
yellow
This one from stephanie's shop
They do have this one at sims as well
This is lx10065
And i'm going to show you the easiest way to do this
I have two different things. I have this
which is
Basically what they put on
The work race you see it's the wire with the ties on it. Okay
So you can use this
And we are going to use that at the top
or
You can use this so this is just a garland
And we're going to use that at the bottom. We'll do the same thing at christmas time. So at christmas time
What I usually do
Is put it up here
Make it cute and have little ornaments hanging from it
you could do um
There's a lot of things you could do you could do butterflies hanging
You could do fruit hanging
Just tons of stuff so it doesn't have to be just christmas
I don't know if any of y'all remember that one
It's been a while
All right, but we're gonna use
about
This much
This is a super inexpensive one
It came from sims. I don't even think I have a tag on it
It's like a couple two three feet
Okay, so we're gonna use
About eight inches of it
So mostly this is just to help have something
to glue into
and something to
Attach
So I want to kind of have it like this
And what I can do is take
And tie it around
that
So the top and the bottom
I'll just tie it around
So mostly this is going to be used just to kind of glue things into
But
And it's a chin. It's a chin. It's a cheap thin one
It's a chin
Y'all
Ignore the coffin. I promise it is better
It just sounds really bad
I don't feel 100% but I feel a whole lot better than I did. I'm gonna actually zip tie the corner
Just to kind of make sure it stays secured
And it'll hide inside here
So you won't see it
Okay
There we go
now
for the top
We're gonna do
this one
Hi mama
I love these because
So, you know, we've done a couple of the um
The ones on um grapevine where we put mesh
This is great for that. Also if you find
Um some frames that don't have the ties on them, but you want to put ties on them. You can get these
The they have these at uh
Craft Outlet
Sometimes they have them at sims
Okay, this is
7-5-2-3-6-0
And you can see there's a lot of it so you can use it on a bunch of different projects
All right
Okay, so you have options for this
What i'm gonna do
Is i'm actually going to put the ties closer together
like this
Because i'm using it in a smaller space so I want to keep it
You know kind of tight so what I did is I just kind of bent this over so this one is here
Okay, listen computer I said not now
It keeps wanting to restart on me it's annoying me so you have choices
Uh, you can zip tie it or you can staple it. Now. These are thicker. Can you see how thick those are?
so I think i'm going to zip tie it because
I do think it would be tough for the staple to kind of get through that
so
I'm gonna zip tie it and it's gonna hide under here
One
See if that's on there tight
Yep. Okay
Okay
So we're actually going to put a little bit of mesh up here
Just because we can
And it's different and I think it'll be fun
Okay, so I have put this on upside down that's just what we do sometimes
I know I almost
Did something fallish?
I was this close. So probably next week we will
Because it is just about time to start fall
I'm just gonna do curls
So we want 10 inches
Okay, there we go
I'm gonna do yellow
I don't think I have any
Navy blue I think I have well, I mean royal blue. I think the only one I have is what we're going to be doing the
other kits I have
This is the leftover from that curly wreath I did
So this will look perfect
So i'm just gonna put
Like a couple in each tie
like this
I think
Two. Yeah
We might put an extra one
in the center here
So we might do two on each
Corner or on each side and then do three in the middle
I think this will be fun because it's different
I like different. So, how are y'all doing tonight?
Y'all doing okay?
All I really want to do is get some color in here
We are going to put ribbon up at the top, but it's going to be smaller
So much smaller ribbon
This is actually what i'm going to do so I don't want to have
um
Too much ribbon up here
Okay, so i'm going to take these
Hold on this is going to keep doing this
All right, it keeps wanting to
Update and I don't want it to do it in the middle of while we are
On here because then I can't see anything. I mean it won't affect the live but
All right. So i'm just taking these and tucking them in
Like this. Okay, that way I have a nice place to glue, too
Okay
Next we're going to take this and we're going to make a cute little bow
Let's do
Let's see, okay, so like a 10 inch tail i'm gonna do like a 10 inch tail
So this is really good for leftovers
And I really want that mesh up there because it's going to help hold everything in
And bring the color up that I want
Okay, so let's do
Five inch
So generally when I do one ribbon i'm gonna do
either seven or nine loops
It just seems to work out really well that way
five
So just an odd number you could do five seven nine
eleven
odd number of loops
Six
Let's do seven
We're going to put a little bit this on the bottom too, so i'm just going to kind of set it aside
And then
I am going to put a zip tie in the back of this
And i'm gonna make sure i'm in the
indention that the bow maker made
Okay, and then i'm just gonna pull
my loops apart
like that
See how great it is when you have like an odd number
It just spreads out really nice
It's just like perfect
All right
now
I'm gonna put this on kind of in the middle
Right in here
Okay, so i'm gonna zip tie this around
And then we're gonna put some cute stuff around it
Oh, yeah, I know
Poor Z. She's got she's got something going on
There
I've got my
Ties kind of hanging down
Got my loops
kind of
Going around like that
I just want to
Get them to curl a little bit
What else is really cute is to do several tails and have them coming up in different areas
That's super cute, too
For the top
I want to do
So I have this
This is just like a little thing of yellow roses
Right, so that matches this little ribbon
I'm gonna put
a few up top
I hate these little cheapy leaf things. They're terrible
this came from
um
I think this came from
Carolina Pottery
It's a rose ranunculus
It's 6 3 3 2 4
w
or yw
No, I take it back. I think it came from craft outlet
It did it came from craft outlet that's where it came from let's do four and then the rest
Will go on. Okay
See how many do we have for the bottom? Let's just see
We may do half and half. Let me just see
When it has these little like geeky leaves, I just don't even use those
You don't need it
And they they don't look real. They just
They're not helpful
Although they are really good for making
Candy bouquets so you can keep them for something else. I have to show y'all how to do those
You can do candy roses
using
These leaves with candy
So we'll save that
All right
So I wanted this because it's
like kind of a whitish
It's very airy
I love these these come from sims
This is a bead bush is what it's called
So pretty
See how much I have
I have one
two
Cut this one
Three four
Five we have five
See how pretty that is and see that's gonna look really cute up here against all this yellow
So one two
three four
Five and we may cut one down
All right, so we have one two
Three four five six seven eight
Let's do maybe
Six on the bottom and six on the top
I also have some of this
white
eucalyptus leaves
This is 27036
I believe this was from
craft outlet
Sims carries these but they didn't have the white
So I really wanted the white
I have two of these
but it's gonna
Cut up into several
I also have some of our wonderful
Big grass
I don't want these to be long though. So i'm gonna push them straight up
Whoops, not straight off
No, I'm so bad. I do that every time
I get overly aggressive and I just push them right off
Where's the little piece it's okay I can put glue on it. Oh, here it is
Where's the little piece?
So that way we have a little bit of greenery
Don't do what I did
Don't just push it straight off
Now what I want to do is kind of
You know kind of glue it in here
Start with kind of the greenery
And i'm going to be gluing it to this evergreen
Okay
So that's one of the reasons why we put that in there
Because it makes it easier
to glue to
And I made a little
Hole in it
So it makes it easy to kind of put things in there
And it makes it easier for them to grip onto that because that's what they're going to glue to
There we go
And we'll straighten our bow towards the end
Not gonna worry about it too much right now one more
Maybe two more. Okay. So this one I kind of glued underneath the bow
Hey, at least i'm knocking it down this way and not that way
Because that would be bad
one more
now kind of
Just make sure they're in there good
So see that kind of frames it out and then I can take
Some of this
And kind of put it
in here
Oh, that's so cute
So you can always use things different than their purpose
And you can always decorate things up
So they don't look as much as their purpose because that makes it fun and unexpected
You could put things in the windows
See how cute that is with a little bit of the beads
I'm gonna kind of cut them up
So there's less put kind of on the sides here
this
And the great thing about having
Something like this is that you can
Thin it out and spread it out. Let's see if we want to put some of this
So I don't want to go very far out
So that's why i'm being kind of
Careful where I put things
So I only want it to go out about, you know, three or four inches
What are you making?
Are you making spaghetti?
We make I make baked spaghetti. Do y'all make baked spaghetti? Oh my gosh. We love that stuff. It's so good
This is all about just kind of
building on top of each other
I think I want to put
One in this corner right now
I want to start putting in some of the flowers
And I want to put the flowers
like right up against
that greenery
So it's gonna hide it
Can you see?
So I can kind of hook it
and then
Get it into there
So I can
Cover up that little tie
Perfect
You will have to kind of fiddle with the
ribbon a little bit
As you're kind of going along. We're gonna put a little bit in the bow here in a minute
Get some of these flowers in here
Make sure i'm getting it in there
There we go
this one
I'm gonna put in the bow
Come on down in here
there
All right, and then I want to put some of this in the bow
This side a little there we go
Oh, isn't that so cute look how cute that is
That is so cute
All right now we're gonna do the bottom
All right, so you can see
What looks like it's all just kind of coming around the side
Now on the bottom
That is so cute
You could do just one you can do both like i'm doing
It's really kind of
Up to you how you want to
Make it look
Y'all this is the worst mesh
But it works fine for this because you're not gonna see it
All right. Let's start with
our bow
And then we're gonna build around the bow
So this time we're gonna put this ribbon that has the
Roses in it. Let's do
Like a 20 inch tail on this one
About right there. Okay. This ribbon is so pretty because it is the double-sided ribbon
Do you love it mom cool, okay, so six inch
and six inch
Let's do
um
Six and six
I don't want to make it too big
just because
This is a small area, okay, so we're going to do two loops
And I am dovetailing them
Even with this thicker ribbon you can dovetail it. You do not have to do that fold over method
It will cut and do a dovetail
All right, then we're going to bring our little yellow ribbon in
We're gonna cut
about a 20 inch piece
Put in
Kind of equal
Right in the center
All right, then
We're gonna measure
our 20 inches out
One
This one
Now
I'm gonna do another one. Hopefully we have enough
We're gonna go smaller
so like
four or five inches
I'll just make sure these match
I'm going to do three loops
As small as it does
I'll make two of them
So underneath just get it started
Yep
There's our indention
So we want to run them around
Keep it in the indention
Put our
other zip tie in the back
And then tighten it
Spread these out
I know this one seems short
I must not have put it right
There we go. Okay
The three are gonna go kind of those two in the middle there
All right. Now let's fluff this out
So get those little pieces out
Or else it won't fluff nicely
So you see what I mean how it's like folded over in there. That's what you want to get out
You want to pull that sucker out of there?
Because
That's what keeps it from fluffing out really nice
Is that little twisted piece?
That little twisted piece doesn't want to go in there
We want it to
All right
We've got all our little
Tails here. We've got some long ones
We've got a short one
See how cute that is
Whoops
I didn't mean to pull that
Yeah, don't pull too hard
It will pull it
So we're going to use our zip tie again
I'm going to tie it in the corner
I want to move these
Like this so I can tie it in the corner
And not kind of cover up my evergreen because that's what we're going to be putting everything into
All right, and make sure you're putting
The part that you tie kind of underneath your bow
So it won't scratch a door
And of course so you can get to it
And hide it
So see once you get it on here, you don't really see the greenery
That's mainly just for putting all your stuff in
but it really is
Super helpful when you're doing a project like this to have that
All right now on the bottom I want to curl up
these
this
I'm going to show you what we're going to do with the little ones here
There this I just want
to cascade
So I just run my hands under it
It's pretty to do different layers too. So if you want to do
like
Lengths of this it's really pretty
So it doesn't have to all be the same length that can be different lengths and this I want to run
Over to the side like this now we'll probably cut these off
Let's see. I think we're just going to cut like
Maybe an inch or two
There like that
So I kind of want these coming out like that you can do as many of these as you want you can do some coming this
way this way
No rules. All right now
Make sure my bow is straight
Now we're going to start putting stuff in so we have all this nice greenery
Put our stuff in
Yeah, yeah, we're we're semi crud free
Yeah
Ross is a lot better
I'm a lot better. It's just it sounds really bad. Okay, so I love these
These actually came from Timu
So
I think this will be cute to kind of put in
like this
See how it really kind of spreads out and gives a nice base
This is just a firm
I'm gonna kind of glue it in there. You just want to make sure you're hitting the
The evergreen and it should stay fine
but i'll kind of
Stick it right in the middle
See how pretty that is. Look at that. That's pretty
I have two
So I figured I'd do you know one on
each side
Kind of cutting it like in half almost
Spread it out
Pop it in. There you go
These I got from
Yep carolina pottery. They're like yellow
Look at that
Isn't that fun?
All right. The number on this is
Hold on. I gotta take their tag off
it is
one three two
six nine cm
And it's plastic v grass bush
Let's look I think this would be really cute in like a
centerpiece too
So we'll have to save some
So i'm gonna cut it
So it's not too long
Oh, that's so cute
And then these little ones i'll kind of put in as well i'm just gonna kind of
Do the same kind of thing just kind of spread it out around this area
This is just fun stuff
It's super fun
Airy and yeah, it's fun. I was thinking
It would look really cute to have a long piece
Kind of under in here
Really spread it out though. See if you can
It kind of wants to
Stick together a little bit. I think when they
Put it together. It might kind of glue together a little bit
That's kind of what it feels like I think i'll cut it in a little i'm gonna put it
kind of
Under my bow there
that
Let's put a little bit
on this side
over here
a little bit more
So we used
Like half of it not quite half of it
But wouldn't this be oh, no, we didn't even use half of it because there's another piece
Wouldn't this be so cute in like an arrangement where it was kind of coming up
Like it would
Okay
Just kind of breaking it up a little bit
there
And here
Okay, see how cute that is
Getting blue strings all over me
A money plant would look really cute in this. I don't think i'm going to put this in
Um, you can get these from stephanie. These are really cute. They have kind of a frosted look
but I think they're
and they actually have a blue tone, but I
I think they're two different than the green I have in here now
It is good to have different colors of green
But I want to put a little bit
this in
Here
I love this. This is just
eucalyptus
They're like foam leaves
But they're really pretty
I like them
I found them in several different colors
They're kind of fun
That's longer than I want. Let's kind of cut those off
So I don't want it to cover up
The cute stuff that's going on behind it
So i'm just going to shorten them up
This is just kind of brightens it up a little
Make sure that it is okay
So I have just you know, like maybe an inch
To actually tie it in or glue it in
I guess I should have said
So not a whole lot
Because I don't want it to be real long. I want it to be shorter, but it's going to help tie in the top
So is this yellow ribbon
So the yellow ribbon is going to help tie it in and so is some of this and the flowers
The flowers will help tie it in as well
Y'all I am constantly talking
Yep, that's what I do
Before they go
Okay, I want to put some of these in I wonder if I cut these too short
Okay, I want kind of sticking out right there
All right
This one in here
Okay, so you'll see the little flower right there
Okay, and let's see what we got here
Oh, here's a good one
There we go, this is not as long as I want so
You can fix that by just
Taking one of these pieces
Transfer it
over to the longer piece
So it's a good idea just to keep some of these in case you ever need them
As it happens
But you might need them
Because when you do need one
That's longer and you cut them shorter
You can still fix it pretty easily. You just have to have
some of these left
So let's do that with this one
It's very handy to have some of those
Kind of glue it in there
There I want to change this one
I think that's gonna be good
Have y'all ever done one of these little windows?
They're so much fun
Let's see where I want to put it. I want to put it
Let's put it down there. There perfect. All right, let's take a look at it
See if we need to fix it
Oh my gosh, how pretty is that
Isn't that pretty?
Look how pretty that is
I do think
Just pull up
A little bit on each side like that. That's good
That's good
See our cute little tails out here
You can also put tails in in here if you want
We've got that one little bit kind of coming behind the bow
You could put some of the greenery behind that bow if you wanted
Let's see how cute it is. We have
Like two different designs, but both coordinate with each other
and now on the back
You know, it looks pretty neat and tidy if you wanted to cover these
It'd be pretty easy and then all i'll do is move this to here
Because it's just little screws
Isn't that cute
I love this. This is so much fun
Next time we do it. We'll do something different because I think these are fun. These are a lot of fun
Is Teresa on?
Me too. Thank you
Okay, Teresa if you watch this later i'm going to try to do one of your um lady
Or your ladybug this week. I think I'm going to try to do ladybug this week
If everything works out and I keep my voice
The first like three days I had like no voice at all I was the only one who did the voice thing
Go figure
All right, that was fun
I hope y'all liked it
Very cool
So i'm also going to be doing um, I have a cherry I want to do for um
A wreath attachment so i'm hoping to get to that this week
If not, it'll probably be next week, but i'll upload that one and then the pattern will be in
the um
I'll share the pattern with y'all for sure
But I have that
um cherry
Cider ribbon set and I want to made a couple of cherries to go with it and we're gonna use
No
We're gonna use um red felt and we're gonna use the really thick um
Ties the you know
Like these kind of ties, but they're super thick
They're like thick and chunky like chunky ties
So that's going to be our stem. I think that'll look super cute
And then we'll do like a couple of leaves on it
And I think it'll be like a super simple fun one to start with
You know for
Making the wreath attachments. So I thought that would be an easy fun one to start with
so
All right, y'all
I hope y'all have a good night. You can see my my baby laying on her on her blanket pile lord
