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. :)

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!!

I absolutely love this wreath! I am old enough to remember making baskets out of that paper myself!!! 🐶💙

I am old and we called that ribbon twisted raffia. 🐶 Cute Wreath! I liked it!

So pretty, love this wreath Julie! Could go in so many directions with this style! ❤️ 🐕

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. 💔😢🐶

Soooo sorry for your loss of Riley. Beautiful job! Thanks for the inspiration!

This would be beautiful with sand dollars, shells, and star fish. I love this. I am thinking of this for Christmas gifts.

I love this 💜

Love this wreath it’s so fresh and unique. I’m so sorry for your loss 🐈❤️

I think this was my favorite thing that you did today was this week with the roadblock it was gorgeous and when you were done I couldn’t do it so high and looking

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.

🐕 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 🌈

Totally love this beautiful wreath so elegant.

🐕 I have worked with the paper twist years ago. There is so much you can do with it, including making flowers!. I absolutely love this wreath!

Love the wreath!! I just saw those lights at Dollar General, love them.

The paper ribbon used to be called paper twist. Raffia is a different product.

I love this wreath. I love the coastal feel. You gave me so many ideas to use this wreath. I will be making this one. Thanks for sharing.

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.

TrueLiving brand is either Dollar General or Walmart. Is it Crepe paper?

I had miles of that corn husk twisty rope in every color... oh the bows I could make with that stuff. Thanks for the trip down memory lane.

Thanks so much for the easy to follow tutorial! I just finished making mine. I did a nautical theme with an anchor. 🐕❤️

🐕 love the twisted nautical rope wreat. So beautiful.

🐾🌈💕 Once again, so sorry for your loss, Julie. This ivory cotton nautical rope is so nice to work with (easier on one's hands), and this twisted rope wreath is SO PRETTY!!! Thanks for another fun, beautiful and inexpensive project - can't wait to try it! I'm sure little Riley would have given his "seal of approval".🙏🤗🥰

🐶so sorry for your loss! Thank you for sharing this beautiful tutorial 🐶❤️

So sorry for your loss, doggy Riley🐶🐶 and here, here to this beautiful wreath! 😊👍🏽

Beautiful! Thank you for sharing. I’m so sorry for your loss, fur babies are hard to say goodbye too. 🐶🐾

Great idea and work ! A hardware store or lowes may have that rope by the roll. Might save you time and money.

Just seeing this and absolutely love it! I too am old enough to remember this twisted paper and even have some from many years ago! Thanks for the wonderful idea :)

I just made this twist wreath and I love ❤️ it and my guy love it too! Thanks for sharing 😊👍🏽

🐾🐕❤ truly beautiful wreath! So sorry you lost your pupper 🙏

This is the best wreath I've seen I can't wait to make this wreath. Thank you for this video.

An awesome church project activity .,😊❤️

Oh my goodness, my mom used that same paper ribbon.Yes, that took me back to the 80’s and my sweet mom!! 🦮

I remember the paper baskets and bows, oh my goodness lol. This wreath turned out wonderful 👏 I'm truly sorry for your heartbreaking loss of Riley 🐕 🙏

I remember making faux cornhusk dolls with that paper ribbon. Love this wreath with the twist.

Honestly.... I absolutely love your honesty.. uncaded style. You are the reason I craft to this day!. Thank you!

I am so sorry for your loss. 🦮 The wreath is beautiful!

My sister and I used to use paper ribbon in the early 90's to make bow's & flowers to go on wreaths and cinnamon brooms. Your wreath looks lovely.

Really liking the braiding and looping of the ropes. 🐕

I used the wide paper ribbon in the 90's to make 3 foot scarecrows & witches. It had alot of possibilities. The wreath is real cute !

Beautiful wreath and bow and thanks for showing another rope wrap technique. I’ll have to check DT for the twisted paper - it used to come in so many colors. Decades ago I made angels and other dolls out of 2 liter bottles using that paper product; I donated several angels to my church for an auction or sale they had. I think I still have the project book, lol. ❤️

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

My mom made our Easter baskets with that ribbon you have. I love the wreath. Lately I am all for the victorian look 🦮🦴

🐕🐶 so sorry for your loss dear 💜 Your wreaths are always amazing! This one along with the braided rope wreath oh goodness they're just so gorgeous!!

🐕🐩 love this!! So beautiful 💜 I am so sorry that you lost your fur baby. Prayers of healing for you and your family 💜

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! 🐕 ♥️

🐕So sorry for your loss!I know how hard it is. On a positive note I absolutely love your new rope wreaths! Want to make all of them.

🐶🐶 blessings to Riley - thanks for the rope wreath,

My mom also started my crafting.. she had that same type of paper ribbon. It was pink and for Easter she wrapped it around with a bow on our gas light in front yard. Always made me smile.. 💕💕💕

👍🐕🐾💞🐾🙏 With understanding and sympathy on your loss.😪 Beautiful and affordable wreath! TYFS!

🐶 his memories will always be in your heart I love the wreath. Also thanks for sharing.

Julie, I think this project is so pretty. You give great examples. Thanks Mary 😊

I made one with three groups of 3. I will try yours soon. Loved it!

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

Absolutely beautiful

My grandmother and great aunt made those woven baskets. I have her "stash" of the paper rope. Thanks for the memory.

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.....

Love the wreath, it is beautiful!

Love this wreath!!🐕🦮🐩

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!!!❤️

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.

Love this wreath, making this for my September look. My August look is a slice of watermelon. It's the wreath u made for ur daughter. 🐕 God bless

I am in love w this wreath

I am so happy I found your channel from Pinterest! I have always wanted to make a sunflower wreath, and THIS wreath is beautiful! 🐕

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.

Thanks Julie. So,so pretty 🐶

🐶 beautiful wreath! I'm so sorry to hear about your pup, 15 years is a good life!

Love the way you placed the rope.🐕
