@June Metcalfe Hi June 💓 I think I used about a roll and a half (Dollar Tree burlap) or so, but you can use anything you have on hand to cover the wire form 🎄🎅 as long as the hot glue will attach to it. 🌞
Beautiful pine cone wreath. I live surrounded by forest, so I'm sure I can get some pine cones collected for this. I like things natural, so I think I'll leave them natural, but with a dusting of white to look like snow. Heck, may do one colored and one plain. Free material,so why not? Both are so beautiful. Thanks for sharing.
Thank you so much, Crystal! 🤗 I love using free supplies and natural products to make my wreaths. I also made a natural pine cone bird feeder and a Valentines' wreath ~ I'll link them in case you want to make those too ~ Happy Crafting! ruclips.net/video/_AO0_l9TtQ8/видео.html ruclips.net/video/rVe40bsDogI/видео.html
Just ran across your page, Lori I love your work!… very neat and all your work looks high end! Clear step by step and got me motivated to dig out all my craft stash.
I love the way you give instructions. Your voice is nice and not overwhelming. Your instructions were easy to understand and you didn’t move too quickly for me to keep up. Thanks for the video
Thank you so much, Sandra 💓 You are the sweetest and I am so happy you enjoyed my wreaths ~ I sometimes wonder if I talk too much during the video, so thank you for such a kind comment and you definitely made my day! 😍 I hope you have an amazing day and Happy Crafting, Friend! 🎄🎅🎄
Yeah Lori I really love that pine cone you did a really beautiful job and really that simple I think I'm going to have to make one and I know a couple other people who might like them also well I hope yeah I might have some in my yard and then they have some across the street I don't know how to go looking so I hope you have a wonderful day and bless you and I will watch more of it thank you
Thank you so much, Pattyann! 😊It's super easy to make and it holds up really well ~ I bet your friends would love one! I made one for Valentine's Day too - the pinks along with the natural color came out really pretty and you can check that video out in case you want to pick up some extra pine cones.LOL! Have a great day and Happy Crafting!
Love it! I, too, love the pinecone wreath but I don't have such easy access to the pinecones here in Texas. Most of our pinecones are short and squatty. But I love the Santa gnome. You really have some talent! Short story: years back (1960's) my mother, ahead of her time and very talented, made a 6-foot pinecone Christmas tree using chicken wire. It sat in our "picture window" (remember those?) with nothing but a spotlight and silver balls. People would stop on the street to admire. Of course, we teen kids at the time just rolled our eyes at our "weird" mother! LOL Sadly, I didn't inherit her talent or innovative ideas. So I look to people like you for guidance. Take care!
That's such a sweet story about your mom (I miss mine) and I would have been one of those people staring at the 6 FT Tree in the window trying to figure out how she made it, LOL! I live in a pine forest and have so many pine cones. . .I heard some things crashing in the woods earlier and my husband told me they are falling everywhere off the trees and to be careful hahaha! I think you could make a similar wreath with the little pine cones, I used some of the little ones to make a sign a few videos ago. I'm so happy you stopped by and said hello and I hope you're having a great day too! XXOO
Are there pines in your park? Maybe in a neighbor's yard? You'd be surprised how many people will just let you take them when they know what you're doing.
All were very beautiful but my favorite was the Sànta and the pinecone one. I made the fall gnome using a Dollar tree witches hat so will definitely make the Sànta.
The pine cone wreath is lovely. First time seeing. The buffalo wreath is very nice as well. Let it snow wreath is my favorite. The turquoise is my accent color in my home. Very good wreath decors. Dollar tree is an awesome place for crafts.
Thanks so much, Michelle ❤️ I made a natural pine cone wreath into a bird feeder and the birds love it! ruclips.net/video/rVe40bsDogI/видео.html here is the link in case you'd like to check it out. 😊
Love all your wreaths. You know which one is my favorite wreath right. It’ the blue white and silver Let It Snow one. My colors I use every Christmas. It came out beautiful.
Thank you so much, Elizabeth! 💙 Blue and White for the holidays is so pretty and blue is my favorite color, so I couldn't resist making that wreath 😍 You are always the sweetest and I hope you're having a beautiful day in Florida 🌞 the freezin' season has begun up here. . .ugh. . .it's going to be a long winter lol! ❄️⛄❄️ Have an awesome day, sweet friend! 💓
Needed some ideas for all my Pinecones I have collected from my yard, awesome beautiful wreath and a fabulous idea. Thank you. I love them all my favorites are the Pinecone, Let It Snow, Santa Gnome and The Merry & Bright.
Thanks so much, Patricia 💓 I'm so happy you enjoyed them 🎅 and now you have plenty of pine cones to make a wreath (or several of them LOL)! Have an awesome day, friend 🎄😍
All of your wreaths are beautiful…but the let it snow is absolutely gorgeous! Also, thank you so much for the tip on cutting the deco mesh! So much easier!
Hi Lori, loved all the wreaths. You have a great imaginative talent ☺️. I have wanted to make an "ornament wreath" for some time, however, most of the diys I have seen previously, they removed all the hooks, so glad you didn't do that yet they were invisible! Thank you for sharing. Looking forward to your next video 😊
Hey Lori!!!! I absolutely love this video!!! Every wreath you made was beautiful...The pine cone wreath was sooo pretty..We have alot of oak and maples at my house but where my husband works they have bundles of cones laying right where he parks..so he has been gathering them for me so I can make pine cone Christmas trees for gifts... now he's going to have to get me a few more bags because I have to recreate your wreath.😉😉 ❤ I'm going to try all of these projects, especially the Santa gnome..and yes he made me think of a Muppet too..take care and thanks so much for sharing these great wreaths!!!! Many blessings to you and your family.
Hi Lisa 💓 I'm so happy you enjoyed my wreaths and that you thought he looked like a Muppet too LOL! Yay, you're making the pine cone wreath and Santa Gnome, they work up super quick and I love the idea of pine cone Christmas Trees, I'm going have to give that a try (I have so many pine cones 😀) 🎅😍 So happy you left me such an sweet comment and Happy Wreath Crafting, Friend! 💓
I have no business learning a new craft, but I am inspired after watching you make these gorgeous wreaths. Thank you so much for making it look so easy.
Love this Santa - love Gnomes lol- my Granddaughter just moved in to her own place & asked if I was gonna make her a wreath for her door & I think this is the one for her - thanks For this awesome share
Thank you so much, Joyce!🥰 I am so happy you enjoyed them and I know she would love a wreath from her grandmother! Have fun and happy crafting, friend!

These are beautiful.
What was the total length of ribbon did you use.
Sorry!! I meant the burlap on the pine cone wreath

I love the pinecone wreath. All I have is hemlock trees which have the miniature pinecones.
Love it! I, too, love the pinecone wreath but I don't have such easy access to the pinecones here in Texas. Most of our pinecones are short and squatty. But I love the Santa gnome. You really have some talent!

Thank so much for sharing so me so many more ways to make wreaths!!
You are so welcome, Friend ♥️🥰 I'm so happy you enjoyed them!

Thank you so much! 😊
Lori, I replied too soon! Santa gnome wreath is adorable!!!
LOL! Thanks so much, Mary! 😘💓🎅
I ❤ the Santa / Gnome thank you for sharing your talent, you give a lot input l❤ve it
Thank you so much, Gloria 🤗 I'm so happy you enjoyed them, friend!
I love this pinecone wreath, just having trouble finding bulk pinecones
I wish you lived near me, I'd give a ton! LOL!
Try Walmart, they often have bags of cinnamon scented pinecones! Or any public park or lake area w plenty pine trees!
Amazon sell them in bulk, quite cheap too!
Are there pines in your park? Maybe in a neighbor's yard? You'd be surprised how many people will just let you take them when they know what you're doing.
Go to a park where evergreens are
Beautiful wreaths
Thank you so much, Cindy! 😊
I love to watch you ! Like the ways you talk and explain easy step by step… Thank you so very much❤️💚❤️🎄
Thank you so much, Ngoc! 🤗
Love the gnome.
Thank you so much, Ramona!! 😊
All were very beautiful but my favorite was the Sànta and the pinecone one. I made the fall gnome using a Dollar tree witches hat so will definitely make the Sànta.
These are gorgeous and clever. I would never have thought of some of your tricks like making rolls of mesh.
The bulb one is my favorite !
Thank you so much, Isabella! 🤗
