I was looking to make a Christmas nautical Wreath for our boat. The braiding is perfect. Just wondering how you would go about hanging this up. It looks like this is fairly heavy. Great channel. Thank you.
It’s not as heavy as you might think, depending upon the backing. A wood board would make it heavier, though sturdier. If it is one of the flat wooden bases easy enough to add a little sawtooth hanger. If you are using foam core cut to shape then you can add a loop in the back with a thinner cord. I would add two small loops 3 or 4 inches apart… to spread out the weight…. Then link a third loop through both to hang from. Hope that makes sense!
I’m seriously impressed with this diy!!! Such a beautiful creation from your talented hands and creative mind! I’m so happy to learn from amazing creators like you. I’d love to have something as beautiful as this to in my house. Keep sharing your art with us all. I look forward to future videos. I also make DIY videos if you’d like to learn from each other I think that be great! You have my continued support!
Thank you for your kind feedback, I will certainly check you out! I love learning from others too! This was FAR easier than I thought it would be, definitely something that looks more complicated than it really is!!
Hi my first visit and I’m hooked! New subscriber for sure....Great tutorial....love your style! Love the embellishments you chose....just beautiful 🙌🏻🌟 Thank you for sharing....looking forward to seeing more and will definitely go back and binge watch some more😂lol😊kim
Thanks Judy! I have a customer to the shop that loved it, and has now made (and sold!!) many of them for Holiday Markets. It's a lovely change from full greenery wreaths I think and can be easily adapted for any season depending upon the florals you pair it with.
I'm assuming you're talking about while you braid the strands? Either weight down the one end or tape it down. I taped it down so I could still 'pull' on the strands a little keep them uniform.
Your wreath is amazing. I has depth and a beauiful pattern. Thank you for sharing.
Thank you for that… I like the apparent simplicity of it…
As a Big Wreath Maker I'm always looking for easy & unique ideas. I Absolutely Love this!! 🥰
I'm so glad you found it then! One of my favourites I've done - though I'm not a 'Big' wreath maker... perhaps one in the making???
Love it! The braiding stayed flat and shaped so nicely! Love the soft neutral colors on it !! Great tutorial.
Thanks Velma! I was surprised at how easily it remained flat!
Cindy! The braiding on that! ❤️❤️
I know... right?
So pretty and what a great idea! Thanks Cindy! 😊
Thanks for checking it out Renee!

I love this! I am totally going to borrow the idea and make my daughter one!! ❤
Absolutely! I truly thought it would be much harder than it proved to be... really pretty quick too!
Beautiful!
Thank you Barbara, one of my favourites!
Hello. This is great. How has it held up? I’m wondering if the hot glue was enough of an adhesive?
Patti... it is still going strong... no issues and no needed repairs!

How do you keep it stable
I'm assuming you're talking about while you braid the strands? Either weight down the one end or tape it down. I taped it down so I could still 'pull' on the strands a little keep them uniform.
where did you get the rope?
Lynn, I picked it up from the Dollorama.
It turned out beautiful but your video should have been about half as long.
Thanks Jenny and... I will work at keeping them shorter! It's a tough balance between people wanting more info and those wanting less!
Better to have it longer and people can skip through the parts they're not interested in. Yup :)
That’s my thinking…. People can speed through but if the info isn’t there those that want more are out of luck!
