I can’t believe the negative comments. Your arrangement was lovely and I learned so much. No wonder florist charge so much. Their art is time consuming and expensive 🌹❤️
Thanks you so much for your sweet words. My hearts intent is to show others that they themselves can create something beautiful :)
Love your arrangement. One of the prettiest I've seen plus excellent tutorial. No gab and blab with distracting hellos to everyone and their brother. Great teacher. Very creative style.
I like the camera angle because we can see what you are actually doing. Thanks for telling where u got the items and prices that is very helpful. Very pretty
This is gorgeous. I love the different greens. It really makes it look natural.
Thank you Marilyn😊
What I do to help with turning around the piece as I work I place my saddle on a large lazy Susan. This makes it so much easier to turn around so you can see all sides when needed.
This is pretty but I would want more flowers in it for my taste and a little less greens. You do explain things well. Thanks for sharing this.
Thanks Lisa. That’s what I love about creating - everyone’s taste is different so it is so much fun to be able to make it to fit your own style and color scheme
I love the way you mixed lots of different types of greenery. It looks very natural and not so structured like a lot I’ve seen. I learned lots of new tips. I love the soft fern over the rose. 💐
Thank you! Hope to continue to inspire
That is absolutely gorgeous. The peachy cream roses look perfect. I am making one for my son’s grave and I know how long it takes to make a really nice one. I like the extra wide width of that saddle. I could only find the narrower one but it does the job.
Cheryl, thank you so much for your sweet comments, I’m so sorry about the loss of your son. I’d love to see a photo of your piece when it’s complete. God bless - Kathy
In England we don’t have these cemetery saddles, I love it, my dad hasn’t got his headstone yet, but as soon as he is all settled I am definitely going to make him one of these. It’s beautiful.
Debbie, I’m so sorry for your lost but I’m so glad that you feel you found a beautiful way to honor him.
This is such a lovely feminine saddle. I really like the use of different greens ... it gives the piece an airy feel with dimension. Thank you for sharing -- I have been looking for a saddle tutorial for ages :)
It's so beautiful! Thanks so much for sharing this.
Thanks Yoong, :)
I've found if you spray scotch guard on your arrangements they won't fade and they will turn water. Arrangement is very beautiful.
Thanks Marsha for this great tip!!
I absolutely love you! You answer all of my questions. thank you!!!!!!!!!
Gladys, I’m so glad you found the video helpful 😊
This is so pretty!!! Thank you for the tutorial it is great!!
LOVE IT... Thank you so much for this. Now I can go ahead and make one like I wanted for my best friend/ soul mate that past... A year ago.. I always clean and make sure his grave is always best and well taken care of.. Thank you again.🙏🏻😉
Oh Ericka, I'm sorry to hear that you lost someone so treasured by you but I'm glad that I had an opportunity to share my creative design with you so that you in turn can make something special for someone you loved.
Very beautiful! I would call it your "Dream Collection", just thinking.
Oh Diane, I LOVE that idea - thanks for sharing it with me!!
I want to make one of these for my mother's grave. She loved roses.
Hello Rita, if you create one please share a pic😉
Beautiful arrangement. Thank you for the demonstration. Have a great day!
Thanks Cheryl, I’m glad you enjoyed the video. Enjoy your day!!
Very beautiful arrangement, also like the way everything is explained. Thanks!
Thank you so much. I truly desire to express the ease of pulling pieces together - step by step.
So elegant! ❤️
Absolutely gorgeous!!!
Thank you Wanda. I wanted to make something so special as a remembrance for a love one that is dearly missed.
Best to show making the bow.

When do u know u need to add the pick to the green pieces?
Thank you! My father and husband are side by side at our cemetery... Never knew what these grave toppers were called.
I would like to make a matching set for both of their monuments
May I ask if there is any chance of damage or discoloration to the monument?
Question #2 It is extremely windy and I was wondering if they would stay secure?
Thank you and your creation is lovely. Thank you for taking the time to walk us through step by step. God bless you 🙂
Mimi’s MEGA LIFE - thank you so very much for your sweet kind words.No damage or discoloration to the monument. As far as the wind goes there are weights that are sold to hold the saddle to the monument w/out damage as well. I will find the link and leave it in a follow up comment here for you as well. God bless you as well😊
What size is the foam that you used on your saddle.
Beautiful saddle! Thanks!!
So glad you like its design. If you decide to amke one I'd love to see a pic:) Have a great day and KEEP CREATING!!
Awesome 👍
Thank you😊
How do you know where to place the greenery? How to know where to stagger them.
Such a great question - you want to do your best to cover the majority of your base. I would do a rough layout of where I thought my florals would go. If you have holes once you are done you can always go back and fill in. Hope this helps. Thanks for watching and leaving a comment.
Where do you get the "picks"?
Hi there Liz, by "picks" are you referring to the ones used with the stemming pic machine: www.hobbylobby.com/Floral-Wedding/Floral-Supplies/Wire-Tools/Steel-Floral-Picks/p/5231
Or are you referring to a wooden pick that you can use to extend your florals and help attach something to your piece if so, here is an example, most craft stores and even dollar tree typically sell these. I know Amazon carries them as well: www.michaels.com/6in-wired-wood-picks-by-ashland/10302745.html
I hope this answered your question ~ if not, let me know. Thanks for watching and for asking the question as I am sure there are others wondering the very same thing ~ if you give this a try let me know, I'd love to see your creation :)
This is great! But do you also have a video showing how to make the bow? I have my arrangement finished but I don't know how to make a bow.
Hi there. I’m so glad you gave this a try!! I just created a really quick video that explains the bow making process, I will try to upload it to you.
I watched a few other videos and I winged it. It didn't turn out too bad.
@@katlady8 I’d love to see a photo if you feel led to share 😊
@@petalsandpaintdesigns I couldn't add it here so I messaged it to you on Instagram.
This is beautiful. Do you think that a saddle can be used to create and arch arrangement to attache to a wedding octagon a wooden on thank you
Dorothy, I would imagine that it could most definetly work if stablized properly. I have reworked the "saddle frame" to fit some of my other desired floral needs.
What is the tool on the side shelf that you press on each stem in before you add it.
It’s a pic machine
How is the saddle attached to the headstone? Very beautiful arrangement!!
Hello Louise the saddle itself has ribbed attachments on it but if you are looking for a more permanent solution Graveside Flowers sells a product that will anchor your flowers to a headstone in a way that is completely hidden from view, won't damage the stone, will hold up to a strong wind, is made from aluminum, so it won't rust...and doesn't cost that much more than a roll of duct tape. This innovative headstone flower arrangement anchor (pictured to the right) retails for $14.99 and makes a perfect, and permanent, solution to the problem of securing flowers on top of a grave marker. It can be found here: www.gravesideflowers.com/products/headstone-anchor
Beautiful! Thanks for sharing, I would imagine they would only last one season, how would you keep them from fading in the sun, fabric UV spray?
Yes Nicole I would definitely recommend protecting them w a UV spray. Thanks for watching 😊
@@petalsandpaintdesigns Thanks for the response, have you used UV sprays before and if so is there one you would recommend, there are many out there, would love some suggestions?
Keep on working and you’ll get it.
Awww thank you Ruby❤️
What is the tool that you put the greenery to have a pick called?
Hi Lorraine, it’s called a greenery pic machine - here is an example: www.walmart.com/ip/Burton-Burton-Green-Iron-Stemming-Machine/421108014?wmlspartner=wlpa&selectedSellerId=876&&adid=22222222227084152625&wl0=&wl1=g&wl2=c&wl3=315951881902&wl4=aud-430887228898:pla-314690014210&wl5=9002456&wl6=&wl7=&wl8=&wl9=pla&wl10=112561772&wl11=online&wl12=421108014&veh=sem&gclid=CjwKCAiAjeSABhAPEiwAqfxURYy9IVwMPa76Zfzq6VGIihne8oVol9VgTdjmt40nw5PBdk7XNlBrSxoCo6cQAvD_BwE
How much would u sell this for?
I really wish you had shown how to make the now 😕
Lisa, did you mean bow? I’d be happy to make a follow up bow video if you’d like me to
Thanks
You are so welcome
You need the camera in front of you instead of behind you
Carolyn, thanks so much for your input, I really appreciate it! I’m trying to work on my setup, I keep trying different angles and agree w you 100%. I never realized how much goes in to filming a tutorial. I’m bound and determined to tackle it and get it right😉
Actually this us useless for the average person because we don’t have a pick machine
Janice you can very easily use wooden pics wired to the stems instead.
With it being outside, how does the ribbon hold up under wind and rain?
Great question!! Try to pick a durable weather resistant ribbon and of course you want to make sure that you anchor all your ribbon very well.
