Oh, no! I'm not sure what you mean. I just watched the video to the end and it looks like I showed how to fully finish the project, even cutting the final piece of the cording. Maybe I didn't hold the camera close enough? I'm not sure what was missing. :( Hopefully you're able to finish your project.

Oh, thanks! Sorry you lost your pen! Hopefully you'll love the Staedtler!

I bought it at JoAnn's but it looks like it's also available on Amazon.

Hi - I never bought the original Remarkable pen. I thought it was too expensive. There are a number of people that did buy it so there should be videos out there describing it's performance. :)

Dear Blogger Jenya Rose, We are delighted to see that you are using the Remarkable 2. We would like to discuss further collaboration with you, such as creating a product video for our brand's Remarkable 2 Pen replacement stylus. We look forward to your response. Best regards,

@@VitoCorleone-s2g I don't have a Remarkable 2 brand pen. Thanks for the offer though.

It's not better long-term, per se, but it's faster. With normal fabric glue like Ailene's, which I love, you'd have to hold it for a long time until it's fully set. Would hate for it to move slightly as you're going around the circle and have it be wonky. I just trust hot glue since once it's done it's done and you know it's not going to come apart as you move around the item.

So glad it helped! Yeah, the thread sometimes has a mind of its own - LOL. :)

So, the DMC that has sizes is the Perle Cotton DMC (kind of a textured rope of floss). That's not what I use for this. The one I use is just the standard DMC - it's a smooth floss and doesn't come in various sizes - just a ton of colors. If you want to share a link of where you're ordering it from I can look and tell you if it's the right stuff. It should be about 60 cents per skein if you're in the US.

@@jenyarose4411 I live in California and get DMC Cotton Pearl in person at my local Joanns or Michaels and pay about $1.25/each. Are you using regular floss which has about five strands per string and can be separated????

@@marypayne3715 yes! It's the regular floss with 6 strands. They should have all the colors at Joann's- it's the display that takes up about half the aisle. :)

Thanks! It's not a perfect video, but hopefully it will help people that are wondering how to do their own finishing. :)

Interesting. I've bought dollhouse items that were hot glued in the 90s and are still held together, but I have heard that if the hot glue gets really hot again it could turn from a solid to a liquid, so I would just make sure that the ornament doesn't sit in a hot car in summer or a window where the sun is really coming in and heating it up. I think they'll be just fine for the long haul. :)

OMG! That's a lot for an ornament. There are people that do them for $50 or $60, so that's really on the high end, but you'll be surprised at how easy it is!

Hi Jen - the cup hook is not a drill attachment. It's just a cup hook that you buy in a package at a shop like Target, Walmart, probably a hardware store...You might be able to grab them on Amazon.

Oh, yay! Glad it was helpful. :)

Sarah - so glad the video was helpful! I've never made one like you're describing, but our local bagmaker says she doubles up on standard interfacing (I'm assuming she means medium), and she quilts them, and her bags stand up nicely. I would worry a tad about the sewability of two layers of heavyweight, but you could sew a swatch and see how it goes. Good luck with your project! :)

Yeah, the Bosal wasn't too hard to work with. I've never used Header Foam. I love these baskets though. I use them for crafts, kind of like project bags, but for dolls. I make a lot of things with stuffing and they're unwieldy to try to keep in flat bags. :)

Thanks! Yes, it's a full skein of each color. I've seen people do them with 3 cords, but haven't tried it. I think the theory is the same - you just have an extra cord to twist before you twist them all together. :)

Hi Mary - I used kitchen scissors for these - they're Cutco and can cut almost anything. However, after I filmed this I ended up ordering a circle cutting tool on Amazon that has been a dream. The name of it is: NT Cutter Aluminum Die-Cast Body Heavy-Duty Circle Cutter, 1-3/16 Inches 10-1/4 Inches Diameter, 1 Cutter (C-3000GP)

You're welcome! :)

I did a stand up needlepoint figure and the most helpful thing was searching in RUclips for Stand Up Cross Stitch finishing. The matboard on the bottom is really important and the video I watched really broke it down so mine came out great. It was a few years ago so I don't remember the exact one I watched. It was a lady and it was something like 50 minutes long.

Oh, I'm so glad! Thanks for watching. :)

I love it. It doesn't always stand perfectly, but if you keep the extension cord nearby so there's no pulling it usually stays up well. :)

OMG. I'm so sorry. I can hear it well on my setup, but maybe I need to put the mic closer to me. I hope it was still helpful. :)

Yes, Great instruction on how to finish a needlepoint canvas into a self-finishing tray!!!! I look forward to other helpful videos from you :)

Hi Terril - so just get your drill key, or whatever you use to open the nose of the drill so you can change it out to another bit. And then when it's open, instead of putting in another bit you're putting in the threaded part of the cup hook (the part that you would be screwing into the wall if you were doing that). If you take it to your local hardware store they can prob help you. :)

@@jenyarose4411 Will try that. Thanks again.

Yay! So glad. :)

LOL! Thanks, Pat. The needless chatter is the worst! I said if I ever made a RUclips video I would get right to the point. Thanks for your sweet words. :)

Thank you for your suggestion. These sweet hamsters lived a happy life and died of old age 2 years ago, but I keep the video up because it might be useful for other hamster owners. :)

Thank you for your suggestion. These sweet hamsters were sisters, lived a peaceful life and died of old age 2 years ago, but I keep the video up because it might be useful for other hamster owners. :)

@@jenyarose4411 you are kinda providing wrong info tho, they still need larger sand baths

@@jenyarose4411 Maybe you were lucky that both were submissive and did not attack each other, but it is not always like that, almost always one kills the other. do not give wrong information.

Right?! It can really add up if you stitch a lot of ornaments. So glad it helped you. :)

Hi Donna - here is a link to the PDF digital book on Etsy. If you want the printed book they carry it at Twisted Stitches in Albuquerque. www.etsy.com/listing/743441111/the-needlepoint-ornament-finishing-book

Cindy, I'm so glad!! It was such a mystery to me before I found that book! I'd love to follow you on Instagram and see some pics! Let me know if you're on there. It's a great platform for needlepointers! I'm @jenyaroseneedlepoint on Instagram. Otherwise, I'm so happy you completed your projects. The amount of money we're saving by not having these professionally finished is astounding. I just talked to someone that was paying $100 per ornament for finishing. I'm sure it's beautiful work, but that adds up fast! I'd rather spend my money on gorgeous threads and canvases.

OMG! Thank you so much, Caroline! :)

Oh, I don't but it's really easy. You just nip the corners and fold. Maybe I'll make a video on the next square one that I do. :)

Hi Cindy- I just added matboard info to the description.

@@jenyarose4411 Thank you! Just about to complete a 4" ornament for which I drew a simple design and did simple stitch. Will work with this one to do a finish on it as practice. Your videos are very helpful! Thanks for taking the time!

Thanks! :)

Thanks, Cilly! :)

It shouldn't be too hard. The glue and proper matboard (link in description) makes everything pretty easy.

OMG. Thank you so much! I'm so glad it was helpful. Trying to figure this stuff out without tutorials is no fun. LOL.

I'm so glad! Thank you! :)

Jenya Rose hello again! Where did you find the canson mat board? I’m having a hard time finding it in craft stores :(

@@jacksparrowarrrr OMG! So sorry I didn't see this message. The mat board is called Canson Mi Tientes Mat Board 16x20. I've had a hard time finding it before, but you can either get it in Hobby Lobby (in store, not on their website for some reason) and if you search it there is an online art supply store called Mister Art where you can order the mat board. Just type the whole name into the site search.

My pleasure! :)
