we are going to start with and this is goingto be the rolled effect so roll it up and these i want to be loose loose rolls looserolls ok and then we are going to start right here at the end and you are going to takeyour roll and you are going to put it in your pipe cleaner or tinsel what ever you are usingand you are going to put one twist and then you are going to roll another one a looseroll and you are going to put it in the same twist we are going to have two deco mesh pertwist just like that and we are going to stagger our colors beings we are working with threeyou can just place them sporadically the way you want just so that they are evenly placedand keep doing this until your candy cane is full of your green white and red twistssee we are going to do the whole thing and

then we will check back alright guys we areback and this is our candy cane with all of our deco mesh now we're gonna add the ribbonnow with the ribbon i picked four different ribbons 12 inch strips and then i angled theends and we're going to put two ribbons per tie i'm working with four different ribbonsso i'm going to take two and i always go with my lighter a lighter one and a darker oneso i'm gonna go with these first two and i'm going to start in this first little tie downhere and i tie it in one twist and then i put the other one in the opposite directionso to make a x per say and i give it a couple more twists and then i just fluff it up ifluff as i go and this is the wired ribbon so its going to hold its form and now i'mgonna go with another lighter one and remember

you can pick whatever ribbon you want youcan go thinner you can go thicker you can go any pattern and then i am going to pickanother white and red one and i have 15 ties here so i cut 15 of each of the four ribbonso when i say 15 what i mean is each level here or each twist line is one of each ribbonso i cut and there's 15 going up so there's 30 total ties but 15 is what i need for howmany ribbon ok so now look i did this pattern and this pattern so i am going to take thisribbon and go over to this side and go roughly in the middle and i'm going to twist themin this side and fluff that up and then i am going to take this side the ribbon on thisside and i am going to go on the opposite side like this so all the way up the candy cane we are going

to criss cross and when you put the secondone in give it four or five more twists and then fluff up your ribbon and i am using thedecorative pipe cleaners you can use the decorative tinsel and then you don't have to worry abouthiding those so much ok so that is the start of the bottom you can already see how muchit's filling in it's amazing so i am going to go all the way up my candy cane and thenwe will check back when that process is done for the next step ok we are back and now weare going to go to the next step this is what we have so far the ribbon the deco mesh supercute right we got reds greens and whites so now we are going to play around with someof these little decorations and what i do is i take them and i separate them out likethis because they come on wires and i am just

going to sporadically place them within thiswreath and what i do with these is i don't glue these in i will somewhat tie them inso if they want to hang it on a door and its too full then they can always take these offso i have a few things here and i snip the end because we don't need it that long andthen i separate it out take the tag off ok and i put one right here and i think i amgoing to put one right down in here and we have a lot of material on here now so youjust have to kind of wedge it in there and then re fluff the ribbon around it and theni got these little guys like how i talk about my decorations these little guys um and theni do the same thing lets take the tag off maybe there we go and then i just kind ofseparate these ones too i think they look

funner when you kind of poof them out alittlebit ok then i am just going to leave the tail on that guy because it is not so long youknow and just sporadically place them where you think they are going to be cute i try to get them even so i don't want themall in one spot i don't want them in a row i want them sporadically placed so it addsdepth and texture and all that stuff i always preach to you about and i am going to do threeof these ones i did two of the big ones and three of the little ones i am going to putthis little guy at the bottom here because we don't want to forget about the bottom wewant our wreath to be full all the way through it you know and he is here so i am going totry to go about here maybe with this one alright

i don't know if they are going to stay inbecause i have not tied them in yet but just so you can get a look isn't that cute andthis guy is falling out but you get the gist and then you just take your your pipe cleanersand you finish twisting those in and i will show you a picture at the end so that is thecandy cane deco mesh red white and green wreath um i had a show today and i brought one withand i also did a cross so plan on having a cross down the road because that was a bighit and i got four more orders to make so i will bring you along on one of those creationsso you can see that um again i just use they have these tinsel candy canes at i found thisone at hobby lobby i took the tinsel off and or chenille stems is another name took thechenille stems off reused them on some of
