I see so many wreath sellers who struggle when they spend hundreds or even thousands of dollars on wreath-making supplies. In this video, a few of my tips on how not to spend so much before you start really selling.

Yes! Such great advice. I started my wreath business with $75 just over 4 years ago, and now it’s making a full time income.

You were speaking to my soul through most of it, and then you mentioned that when we learn to be responsible God will bless it. THIS!! It was like the Holy Spirit lifted his hands and pointed to your video... "ARE YOU HEARING HER TRUTH?!?" Thank you for sharing your experiences with us. This video has given me so many tips.

Julie thank you for your words of encouragement! I am a prime example ...I am trying to put a halt on my "purchase addiction" I could literally probably fill a small warehouse.... your advice was helpful. It's like I just woke up and was like...OMG what have I done... I am going to do the 3 wreath at a time plan....and just breathe...straighten my crown and put 1 foot in front of the other to get to the other side if this.

OMG! You’re talking to me! I do feel overwhelmed and paralysed! Great tips. Thank you, Julie.

[reneelane]

Guilty as charged! I want to buy everything I see!

You are truly blessed. You are so practical with common sense beyond compare.

[pamelagill]

Thank you so much, everything you have said was speaking straight to me. I get obsessive when I start a new venture. Blessings to you❤

you have just said what i have done i dont even go in my craft room anymore .dont even now what i have .thankyou.xx

[nancyt.pasour]

Thank you so much for this!!! I really needed to hear it. My biggest problem is spending too much on cheap supplies because of my financial situation. I now have so much "stuff" that is either unusable or I have nothing to go with it. On top of that, I no longer have the confidence that I can make anything that anyone would want.

Thank you again for your advice. God Bless you!!!

Glad I found this video. I am wanting to get into wreath making but had concerns about what to buy, what not to buy, how to buy. Thank you so much!

[violetmartin]

This was very helpful! I've started out buying a whole lot of supplies and haven't sold as much. Thank you for clarifying and helping me reset!

[jaycee]

Wonderful tips as always! And the statement you made at 16:30 about when we manage what we have God can give us more is neither mean nor disheartening. It's scriptural (Matthew 25:20-23). I REALLY needed to hear this. Now I will apply it. Blessings to you Julie and tfs!!

[deborahbrown]

What great advice! I wish I had seen this years ago!

I'm in tears of relief. I've been making wreaths, watching tons of tutorials feel that I'm getting better. I'm getting custom orders from people that have heard about me
through word of mouth but I have definitely overspent. Just two days ago went out and spent almost $300 on ribbon when I already have two full drawers of beautiful ribbon. I feel like I thought I should have to have everything just in case and then I find myself still going out and having to buy something else because I haven't prepared quite enough for what I would like I love the idea of making three wreaths at a time and I'm sure I have the supplies to do that but if not I'm absolutely going to apply your recommendations into my future wreath making jobs. I've not started advertising yet I'm a little afraid too if I'm honest. I work a full-time job and like the rest of us have family obligations and at this point I can't afford to only do wreaths although I hope to someday. I completely relate to your starting out at your kitchen table because right now I have a long folding table at the foot of my bed and every day I do my wreaths and then when I'm finished I pick up, vacuum, put the table away and take it back out the following day. It's's not ideal but it's working for now and I believe in myself enough to know that at some point I will be able to maybe have a small studio or something else to work in or maybe a storefront or maybe just a bigger house with an in house work space but for right now this is what I have, it's what I've been given and I'm so grateful the opportunity to have what I do have. Thank you for mentioning that God gives us what we need. I have absolutely everything I need and everything I put into other people, into the world into my self I get back in spades so thank you so much. I know I've been rambling I apologize I'm going to check out your inner circle I watch a bunch of different women and I absolutely love them but you are the first person who I've listened to regarding the business aspect and I am so immensely grateful. Have a blessed day. Peace and love XO

Wow, as of today, God opened up my eyes and let me understand where I went wrong. Then this video just talked to me. You are sent by God!!! Wow and Amen. Cause around more then 2 years ago I fell in love with wreath making. I wanted to make every wreath I would see on video but….. I used my monies to make every wreath I saw then, figured out that I didn’t have everything for not even one wreath. Had to go out what I needed then spent even more. So l got overwhelmed then stopped for awhile. So last night, which is almost the end of April I got my behind up and started again. And especially now that I have 4 orders to fulfill now. Pressing forward. Your video helped me a lot and opened new doors for me. Thank you sooo much for your advice!❤😊

[elizabeththomas]

Thanks for the advise. I find myself trying to feed my ribbon addiction. Great advice to start with 3 wreaths and make those. Glad I found your channel. Love the wreaths.

[lyndaklippel]

I am just starting also. I love fall and boy have I over bought....then I get so mad at myself, but I realize your right my craft room is so full I can't even think. Guess I'm organizing my room tomorrow. Thanks for the advice.

[kathleensayler]

Hello Julie! I wish I'd come across you when I first started out. Taking your advice now. Thank you.

[MsVirginiag]

I wish I had seen this before I went crazy in my buying. Now I feel overwhelmed with fall items and will be gone for 2 weeks. Not really a good time to open an Etsy shop. My sisters and I take turns looking after our mother. Now I'm thinking, "What was I thinking"? I have been making wreaths for our church entry doors and fundraisers and I really enjoy it. Now I have decided when I come back home last week of September I have two weeks to make wreaths as gifts, for my friends before I go back to mom's. Hopefully l can use up enough product so I can breathe. Thanks so much. This hit home!
