Didn't realize that this was 6 yrs old; however, I always enjoy your videos. In fact, you're the one that got me into wreath making. You are blessed to have that training voice that put that interest in learning how to. This week must have been a replay of cemetery saddle wreath, everybody had their up as well. Besides for your, I also enjoyed David Chrristoph. Keep up the encouragement teaching
Hi Brenda! I’m happy my videos have inspired you to start making Wreaths and your kind words mean a lot to me. Thank you so much, Lori.
So happy to find this video. I've been wanting to do one of these arrangements for a long time for my parents tomb stone. They were very special parents who gave me so much. They adopted me when I was 6 from an orphanage. I feel so very fortunate. My mom taught me the love of flowers. She grew everything on our farm when I was coming up. She would love this. Thanks for sharing.
Thank you, Carol. I'm so happy to have shared this with everyone. I'm sure they would off loved it. I hope that you get to make them and I hope that you get to take pictures and share them on my Facebook page , when you make it. You are blessed and never forget it. Thank you

Hello, there Kathy and welcome. I am so glad you found my channel. I put it on a floral stick but you could also hot glue and glued it to the foam and pin it down with floral pins. You are more than, welcome. This one with the original length and with the flowers added it turned out to be big. Like and share. Thank you, Lori.

Thanks Lori. As always great tutorial.

Thank you, Carol. So happy you like the video and I hope that when you get to make on you could post it on my Facebook page. Thank you.
Lori I wished I would have found you a year and half ago and learned this technique. I could have made one of these for my son that I lost. You are amazing Lori. Could you do a Horse Wreath. I would love it.
So, sorry for your loss, Sherry and welcome. I would love to make one, but then I won't be able to sell it. It is a wonderful idea, don't get me wrong. Hope you do understand. Don't forget to like and share. Thank you, Lori.
Absolutely beautiful! I really like the extra ribbon you put on at the last! That really added a lot of fullness to the wreath!
You do an amazing job!! 😊
Hi, Karen and thank you. I'm glad yu love it as well. It's beautiful and matches amazing. Thank you, so much. Keep watching, like and share. Make sure you have subscribed and also keep your notifications on. Thank you.
Sorry for the miss communication, I was looking for the base for the mailbox, I found it on the website you suggested, thank you again 💕
HI, Jean!!! Great, so glad you found what you needed it. I have a video I made for my mailbox, take a look at it. I hope everything works out good. Show me pictures on my Facebook page. Would, love to see it when your done. Thank you.
Ohh u know I saw this crazy looking thing in store had no idea what it was for!!! Thanks a bunch for showing lol!! Love watching and learning from u!!
Hello, there Karen and thank you. Yes, it is a saddle although you could even use it indoor as well if you want a higher centerpiece it has a lot of use for it. I hope you have enjoyed the tutorial, don't forget to like and share. Thank you, Lori.
I love this lady !
Thank you for this great video! Very easy to watch and follow. I just needed some confidence to try it on my own!! Beautiful saddle too!
Hi, Janet. Thank you, so much. I always try my very best to show everyone, it is very easy to follow and to make. You could even make it as a center table piece and you don't need the saddle. It could be placed on a mantel, as well. Share and like. Gather all your supplies together and study the tutorial if you need to again. Let your heart and mind take over, don't be afraid. I hope, you make one and I wish you good luck. Thank you, Lori.
Hard Working Mom Thank you!!
You're welcome, Janet. Stay positive, Lori.
Beautiful as always. Great directions. You answer the questions I had on the construction of a grave saddle. 😊
Thank you 😊, Kimberly. Any questions feel free to comment, share like and subscribe. I’m so happy you like it. 😊 Thanks
Bahahaha girl I love it when u can't think of the word you're wanting to say. I just love u. Thanks for the flower. I had someone asking for one and, well, I had no idea where to even start. That's why you're the Queen and I'm just the cupbearer. 😂😂 Have a great week.
Lol and i don't cut it out because i think it is funny. Thank you and have fun creating your own Jen
I’ll be making a pink single saddle for my Aunt. I hope it comes out this beautiful.
Hi Trisha! I’m sorry for your loss and I know your Saddle will be beautiful especially in the color pink. Thank you so much, Lori.
Lori it is gorgeous! I love your choice of colors. Thanks for sharing!
Thank you, Clara. I love the colors too. Thank you, share like and keep subscribing.
This is really pretty! We don't put a lot bows on them down here. I don't know why. Maybe it's the best and humidity on the Texas Gulf Coast. There're bows on flower arrangements but not so much in saddles or even casket blankets unless they're small.. They're prettier with bows!
Oh I’m so happy you liked the saddle and I agree that they look pretty with bows. I think every state is different but I’m sure weather has a lot to do with it. Thank you for watching, Lori.
Very Pretty, I did not even know there was such a thing as a Gravesite Saddle. Learning all the time. LOL
Deborah, thank you. Oh, yes there is a lot of people don't know about them. Thank you.
that is very beautiful
Thank you, very much, there Tammy. I am very happy you like it! Don't forget to like and share. Thank you, Lori.
That is so very beautiful. My daughter is in a mausoleum we always hand make her bouquets. Makes me wish there was something i could put one of these on. You are so very talented.
Thank you, Debra. You could just make it as an a regular table arraignment without the saddle.
Thank you Debra you could put a pretty bow with the bouquet.
I wish i could they don't want anything on the floor. I made her a wearth for Halloween and hung it on her crypt. I think I'm going to make her one for easter also.
So sorry, maybe you could place it the same way you did with the wreath also keep, in mind the saddle could bend if you have somewhere to attached to. Thank you and good luck. If you need more help. Let me know.
Beautiful thank you for sharing have a blessed day 😊
Lots of nice technique. Enjoyed the video. Inspired to try this at home.
Hello and welcome, there Michael. You are so welcome, anytime. Thank you, very much. Don't forget to like and share. Thank you, Lori.

@@craftingwithhwm thank you
Thank you I need to make one in the near future. Its beautiful.
Thank you, Katrina and I would love to see a picture when you make yours and you can post it on my Facebook page. Thank you for watching, Lori
I would wire and glue the bow to the stick first and then stick it into the floral foam. Beautiful colors and thank you for the instruction. I wish my Father's cemetery allowed headstones but they don't, only grave markers.
Hello Sandra! I’m really happy you enjoyed the video and I am sorry for your loss. I wish they would allow a headstone for your father too so you could make one for him. Thank you for watching, Lori.
Lovely lovely lovely Lori
Beautiful as always
Thank you, Bonita.

Rosie, thank you so much. I love it too, so glad you like it. Thank you

Up in Jersey we call that a grave blanket. Just one question are you going to bend the wire on the bottom back out? The body of the blanket is made from pine branches .
Hello Patricia! I didn’t know you call it a grave blanket in Jersey and yes I will bend the wires back out after I finish. I think pine branches would make a great base. Thank you for watching, Lori.

If you don't have extra flower around like the whites you are using, would to need to also buy a bush of white or another color of choice. Would that make it full enough? Thank you so much for making this video and sharing. I think I can make something similar for my parents, my son and grandparents. Thank you again.
Please show me to do one for my so he was a police officer .but I wanted one for summer ,thank you ,god bless you

That's beautiful!!! Lori now that's everything is in place, should I place glue on the wire on stick? Just to keep the wind from taking the bow, or would the floral tape help? thanks again. Stay blessed.
Hello, Debra and thank you. You could place gums on the stick and also the floral tape as well to keep it tight going down. Thank you 😊 and bless you too. 😉 if you do make one feel free to post it on my Facebook page. Links are a above in my description area. Thank you.
Beautiful thank you 😊
Lori, Can you PLEASE tell me if anyone ever makes these saddle wreaths for center pieces *or* for a porch to set over a wide, flat wood railing
Very pretty
Thank you, Jeanette.
This is gorgeous! I've seen those saddles in HL and have wondered if they could also be used on a mailbox? Also, is that weather proof ribbon? Just wondered how long it would hold up in elements.
Hey Kristen thank you yes it will hold up very well and yes you can use the saddle on a mailbox. Do you remember the mailbox swag i made, It was on my mailbox for 6 weeks and looks exactly the same. These materials are made for weather. The only thing is if you are going to use mesh in the hot summer spray it to preserve the color.
Kristin, thank you. Yes, that is where I got it from. It probably could as you could see how I have bend it, now about the holding up to its elements it all depends on the weather and where its placed. The ribbon is made for inside and outdoors as well. Thank you.
Love it
Thank you, Lora.
Love your work
Thank you, Mari & Sam.
Beautiful....
Thank you, Angie
