This swag looks like it should be on a door! It hides the lantern so what's the point.

[jeannierickard]

❤ your commentatoion is pretty awesome!!

[brendaleone]

Kat, your champagne rose wreath on the door is pretty for what I can see. Was their tutorial for that one? I just love that color. I enjoy watching you ? May your holiday season be healthy an bright😊

I made one of these swags about 4 days ago and I did not like how it stands up on the top. So I took the swag to my counter top and bent it over the edge so it would look like it was real evergreens laying on top. It really looks natural and I love the look. Just a hint if anyone want a more natural look. Thank you my dear.

Too big arrangement for a size of a lamp like that, “proportion” it over powered the lamp 😊

[chrisricher]

Can you do a wreath, with one of the round foam wreath.. I would like to see if you can use mash. I am new at this PLEASE HELP

[suzanneburnette]

I love the swag but can’t understand the concept of the position of the swag. You don’t see the beauty of the lantern and when you turn it sideways you lose the beauty of the swag.

[gladyschewyful]

When making these when you add greenery do you start out long then gradually get shorter? I'm having a hard time making one of these!

[glitterandblingcustomdesig]

Nice video. I'm a designer. I would like to design your apron. Let me know if interested

[wandagassaway]

[theresalorenzo]
