    Thanks everyone, I try to give detail directions on making items, no special equipment to record, just using my iPad for a basic non flashy DIY.

    5 years ago I watched this and thought, I can't do this. !! Now I watch and say how beautiful your tree is. I CAN do this and will. Your tree is the best on tube, I love it.

    I think this is the best method I've seen for the tomato cage tree. I'm going to try it this weekend. Thanks for sharing.

    A beautiful tree, and your directions were right on. I do mesh wreaths, so I am not afraid to tackle this project. I just hope I can make mine as lovely as yours.

    • @JennySikma
      @JennySikma  Před 4 lety

      thank you...I am about to make more...trying to come up with a more simple way rather than all those pipe cleaners creating a stable mounting point for the mesh.

  • @nancyrolfe3033
    @nancyrolfe3033 Před 5 lety

    Also, yours is very consistent and looks professionally done. Others didn't create rows with pipe cleaners, just cut pieces and tried to "fill in" gaps after tree was "covered.
    I LOVE the look yours has before adding ribbon, decorations, etc.

  • @nancyrolfe3033
    @nancyrolfe3033 Před 5 lety

    Thank you for showing everything while explaining in detail. I'd watched 2 prior to finding yours. FINALLY, I feel confident enough to try....
    Again, a BIG thank you!! Your trees are beautiful. I'm deciding between silver or gold. I've had real flocked tree, then artificial flocked tree for 40 yrs with crystal, silver and few gold decor, ribbon, etc.
    God Bless, Nancy

    Might try this but I would use 2 x 4 wire fencing insteas of tomato cage. It would be sturdier and you wouldn't need to add the pipecleaners since it would already be divided.

    I'm not a fan of the result, but that's just personal preference. I still very much admire your design skills, ingenious, economical, efficient, and sturdy. You don't expect more from your materials than they can provide and you compensate for their limitations. I thoroughly enjoyed watching your process. I wonder if it would be good to use chicken wire to cover the tomato cage rather than the pipe cleaner. The cut edges of that might be too dangerous. But otherwise, chickenwire might allow you to pull ribbon from inside of the cage to form each pouf on the outside without a need for cable ties.

    I absolutely adore these trees however for me they are too expensive, especially the net fabric. Here in Australia we don,t have a big Christmas tradition as the USA. I will though use the tomato frame idea, using wire hangers and see how I go. Bless You all.

    Guess I'm lazy... i used three tomato cages and adjusted them to fill in the empty spots. To hold them in place I used cable ties. Then added the pipe cleaners to fill in the rest of the holes.

      sorry for the length, I was just learning how to you tube...thats my second video. I am listening to viewers comments and trying to make them shorter, less music, less babble as they say. Thanks for watching 😊. Battery lights are too dim and batteries die to quickly, solar lights are also dim and they don't charge well indoors (in my opinion, but hey they can be used also.

    I must have missed it, how many rolls of mesh did you use ? The tree is gorgeous !

    • @JennySikma
      @JennySikma  Před 6 lety +1

      I think it was 2 rolls, it really depends on how loose or tight you do it.

    • @princessoffire1107
      @princessoffire1107 Před 6 lety

      The first one I made, was after watching ( I think it was Trendy Tree ) and although they did add one more "garland" to it, in order to hide holes, I found out the hard way if I was going to do one, to go ahead and make the "maze" you did on your cage. It's just too dang much of a pain to get started and realize you should have done WAY more pipe cleaners for places to attach mesh to ! Oh and before someone asks, I was using the premium mesh that is almost like fabric so it wasn't "see through" mesh like you get at WM etc.

  • @normadoyle-cooper2885

    • @JennySikma

      chicken wire is too flexible and might get caught on the mesh as you wind around...you could try it

    Can you use these trees out doors.

    • @JennySikma
      @JennySikma  Před 5 lety

      B Watters if you use outdoor light, I think it would be fine. Suggest spraying the mesh with a protective coating if you do. Deco mesh gets weak over time when exposed to hot or cold elements.
