I love this . I did also make the rope wreath, but I used a wire wreath frame that I wrapped with burlap first before glueing it down. Makes it more suitable for outside. I also sprayed it with rust oleum clear gloss and then sprayed it with scotchguard outdoor waterproofed and uv protection.
First, thank you for this video! With all the time I’ve spent making the braided version of this wreath I can’t believe I never thought of this way!! It’s beautiful and simple to make once you get the hang of it!! From one wreath-maker to another I thought I’d share a tip (or I guess alternate way of making it) that makes the finished product even more versatile...So the more I make wreaths the more I feel like the less glue I can get away with using, the better. Before making my first braided rope wreath I watched several different tutorials just to see what the differences were, if any. The one thing everyone was doing that I wasn’t thrilled about was gluing the whole braid to some sort of base. For whatever reason, it killed me to think of “destroying” the back side of the braid by slathering glue all over it 😆 (yes I realize it’s not going to be seen but still!) So I finally found a tutorial where they used a simple sewing technique to secure the braid to a wire wreath frame (2-hoop base in the tutorial I watched). Depending on the width of your braid, I’ve also successfully used a single hoop base or the standard 3 hoop. I assure you I do not sew and I was easily able to sew that bad boy to the wire frame easy peasy! I used a dot of super glue here and there (I prefer the kind with a brush applicator) to secure the knot at the end of each length of string I used. To sew I just used some white embroidery string and a large sewing needle. One of the main reasons I don’t like to use glue if at all possible is because I like to be able to take things apart or change them if I choose. This particular wreath is already very versatile, but without all the glue on the back you’re able to easily stick floral stems and greenery right through the rope (or in between the individual strands of the braid) and secure them to one of the wires on the back using floral wire and/or tape. One time I actually got away with just using a few clear zip ties to secure a rope braid to a wire base! The rope I used was thinner/lighter and “stiffer” than the dollar tree kind so the zip ties worked perfectly! For Christmas this year my mom asked me to make 4 of the braided ones for her coworkers. What mattered to her most was her coworkers having the ability to easily change out the decorations without too much of a hassle (or prior wreath making knowledge) and use the wreaths year round. Of course the sewing method will take longer and be more tedious but for me it was worth it. I’m so sorry for the super long comment!! I just thought I’d share my knowledge/experience in making this style of wreath! Thank you again for sharing yours!!
🐕 Riley, you were a special dog; your Mama loved you very much. Julie, so sorry for your loss. This is a beautiful wreath; when I make one I'll think of Riley 🌈
This wreath turned out so nicely, Julie! It's very creative, and I love the nautical feel of it. Thank you so much for the wonderful tutorial again. :)
I will have to try to make this I love how it turned out. I’m so sorry to hear about your dog. No matter how long they get to be with us, it’s always hard to say goodbye. 💔😢🐶
Julie, I'm loving Your Wreath made out of Rope and Your Bow made out of Paper, Your Wreath & Bow are Beautiful.. Sorry Your Mom passed at an early age. I know You miss Her....I'm glad You have wonderful memories of Your Mother.. You were talking about Your Mom would make a Basket made out of This Paper and Cloth. I had a Neighbor, several years ago, made me a Basket made out of that Paper and Cloth. It is Beautiful. I've enjoyed my Basket for many years. Love & Hugs, Nancy
I have not been feeling very creative and I love watching your videos. I love your authenticity and creativity and thank you for the beautiful videos you make I feel inspired to craft today! God bless you!
My sister and I made angels out the twisted paper. Covered a styrofoam cone long ways with paper, then a styrofoam ball at the top covered with the paper. Stretched out the paper and cut wings as well. We made them 3 sizes and set them on the hearth. My sister died in 2018, my mom died last year and she still had her set. So I brought them home. Love your crafts and thank you for sharing your time and talents with us.
🦮❤ that’s an adorable wreath! It’s more of a farmhouse wreath, warm & cozy!! I’m not real big on nautical either. I believe that type of paper you used for the bow, is called raffia. That’s what pops into mind. ❤
I made the other one and showed the versatility by changing up the bow/attachment with the seasons. I did a fall attachment and a Christmas bow. GORGEOUS!!!! I think this one is more feminine and I'm going for white rope TOMORROW! Thanks for sharing!!!❤️
I still have a booklet on how to make the baskets with the paper ribbon. I used to work with that paper ribbon a lot. This video brought back good memories.
Julie, I crafted in the 80s & used this "paper twist ribbon" a lot. Have not seen it in awhile, but a friend gave me a box full of it some time ago & I am using it occasionally.. I do believe that's what it is called. One caution is that when unwrapping it, be careful. It can tear with too much pulling. If you can spare the time, it can be soaked in warm water , then unravel it while still damp, then allow to dry.
When corn husks dolls were popular, we used to make the dolls out of the paper ribbon. It came in all colors and we used a wire armature for the base and made beautiful little dolls that we used on a w earth's and All sorts of things. Brings back great memories.
I lost my mom when I was 18 too! I’ve always wondered what it would’ve been like to have a mom. It was way back in 1985 when she passed, I just feel like I missed out on so much! I don’t dwell on it, I’ve never even said that out loud! Anyway, I love your videos! I’m learning a lot from watching them! Thanks for giving your time to educate this noncrafty girl, and the rest of your followers! 🐶. So sorry about Riley!
🐕🐩 sorry for the loss of your furry friend. I absolutely love the wreath and there are so many different ways that it could be decorated. Thank you so much for sharing.
My mother made baskets too. The paper bow reminds me of her. She love to do crafts and decorated cakes, sewed, and crocheted as well..... I think I'm a crafter now.....
Question... I have such a hard time finishing my wreaths. I am super critical of myself. I take apart so many projects I start, it doesn't look the way I want.. how can I overcome this. I make many people Wreaths... they absolutely love what I do..
Like this one way better than the "braid"(which was also attractive) .......thinking for next season spraying the ropes prior to mounting on the board,red,white,blue......then decorate for the summer holiday season.........Thank you for the inspiration!!!!!!! RIP to your little pup🐶🐶🐕🐕
I'm so very sorry for your loss. I too lost my beloved dog Beaux. He was a very sweet dog and I noticed on Monday that he was very lethargic. I webt out to check on him at 6:30 a.m. and every hour. I spent as much time as possible with him. then when I went back to check on him after teaching piano lessons, he had crossed the rainbow bridge. sweet Beaux is running and playing with other pets with his wings! he can breathe easy and run happily through the gardens of doggie heaven. I'm so very sorry. I know how challenging it is.
Your mom would be SOOO proud of the beautiful work you do. I love the nautical wreaths. My 12 yr. Old Shepard also passed away Thursday.😔 . God Bless you. Grace .
🐕 I am so sorry for the loss of your furry family member/crafting buddy. This is a beautiful wreath I would love some ideas on how to decorate it in a nautical theme.
OH MY - this one looks so good & I can't even wrap my head around how many ways yu could decorate this - whoa. I definitely want pops of colour for sure but the ideas are endless.
Julie I love the rope wreath! You are such a great instructor! Just know Riley is in heaven in green pastures, running, barking and chasing rabbits. He has no more pain. He loved you! 🐕 ♥️
Usually I just skip wreath tutorials because I just don't care for them but i love what you do. I watched 4 videos and lol I'm hooked and now I'm your newest subscriber
Hi Julie, this wreath is Gorgeous 😍🥰😍. Very simple us cute. I love it💯💯💯🥰🥰🥰 I hope mine turn out like your when I make it. Now I just had a surgery & I will try to do my best. Thank you for sharing 🥰💖 awe I'm very sorry! For your 🐕 I use to had a husky that use to do the same. Always under the table when I was doing something. She passed away a year ago & I still missed her like it was yesterday.
🐕🦺 put of all the videos I could watch tonight it was this one and ironically you mentioned yoy dog Riley, abd my dog Sam died tonight too it was heart breaking, thank you Julie this video helped me more than you could know all the best always Mary in Australia ♥️
🐕🦺 I love this and actually have the supplies to try it. The next time you are in Dollar tree, PLEASE buy the clear plastic cutting boards (they come in a two pack) and use them to protect your mat when gluing.

Thank you so much so much for sharing. 🙏
Your wreath is wonderful It was a lot of work but you made it look worth it. I'm sorry for poor baby Riley. I don't have any pets, when mystic pasted I thought of so many reason not to get another cat. But really the best reason to on a pet is they love you unconditionally and your health improves.
Would look really cute with seashell picks, or small glass floats, starfish, or wood anchor! Cute Idea. I often don't ever see Dollar Tree items people post about. The store near me is horrible. But, I do know they have the rope. Great idea.
I love this . I did also make the rope wreath, but I used a wire wreath frame that I wrapped with burlap first before glueing it down. Makes it more suitable for outside. I also sprayed it with rust oleum clear gloss and then sprayed it with scotchguard outdoor waterproofed and uv protection.
This would be beautiful with sand dollars, shells, and star fish. I love this. I am thinking of this for Christmas gifts.
It’s beautiful. I am making one now.
So pretty and simple🐶🐕🦮🐕🦺

🐶 Riley will be waiting for you at the Rainbow Bridge! ❤️
Hello Teresa.

Great idea and work ! A hardware store or lowes may have that rope by the roll. Might save you time and money.
An awesome church project activity .,😊❤️
