    Cut fabric mesh at 22 inches. Cut ribbon tails at 12 inches. First bow tutorial- cut 7 ribbon strips at 24 inches. Second bow tutorial- cut 5 strips at 15 inches.
    I prefer to use the 10 inch fabric mesh.
    I cut my yardstick at 24 inches.
    10 ruffles total
    I hope this helps❤️

    Both are gorgeous sweet girl. That's a tuff question. I will say this When you swapped from door to table you knew exactly how to accommodate. Looks wonderful on your door. Then changing the placement of the bigger bow and adding the ornaments makes it a beautiful centerpiece. Both are equally gorgeous. You are so talented. That's a great way to have a reversible or double use creation. I love your gnome, ribbon, mesh and of course your beautiful creation. I'm going to try this. Thanks for sharing sweet girl. I don't have Instagram but I will be commenting. Hugs from MS

    First, I would just like to say how pleasant it is to listen to you speak❣️
    You have the NICEST Voice ❣️❣️Second, I would like to say this is my first video of yours I think, that I have watched, and I am SO VERY IMPRESSED ❣️❣️ I am an educated artist and license designer, but I have been crafting all of my life, as well.
    You have some of the easiest bows to make I have ever seen and they look BEAUTIFUL ❣️ SO CLEVER❣️❣️. I have tried them and I was SO IMPRESSED❣️❣️❣️❣️❣️ I design for Professional Businesses, and I love making bows, but they are very time consuming and now, I can save a lot of time at the holidays, THANKS TO YOU❣️❣️❣️❣️❣️ It seems that everybody is making videos and has a new technique but everybody seems to be making it more and more complicated, but not yours❣️❣️Well,
    I may not be a fan of the gnomes, but this was absolutely adorable and especially because you and your daughter did it together💕
    My daughter is a grown woman with her own family now, & This is something I would love to do with them. I thank you for the tip on nice place to purchase quality ribbon as I am always looking for that as well. I can’t wait to make this craft with them, too❣️❣️❣️❣️❣️
    You asked us to vote on whether we liked it Best as a Door swag or a Tablerunner, and I have to tell you that truthfully, for me that’s very hard to decide. Both are so beautiful either way …..that I just don’t have a Vote❣️. I would be honored to hang this on MY door as well as have it on my countertop between my kitchen and barstools in my open style home… I always like to have something on the two-level countertop for decoration and this is PERFECT for that place❣️❣️Very clever to use a yardstick for the base! I look forward to Seeing more of your ideas, & I thank you GREATLY for THIS COMBINATION DOOR SWAG/ Tablerunner❣️❣️❣️❣️❣️
    PS- I did prefer your door swag on the red door the best… Does that count? Also are used to run a business and I was bothered 24/7 in my business and I know I limit my Internet contact to strictly my email address… Thus only to be contacted by My one email address and nothing else, thus, I cannot sign up for any thing else In an attempt to win something from you through Instagram or Facebook or anything else… and since you are giving something away and ask people to sign up on those websites I am unable to do that. And I am certain that I am not alone in this. And I do live in the United States I am a retired cancer patient and I have worked 45 years and I still work privately giving what I can. In the future please think of all of the rest of us who would like to support your website on the other “standard” sites?

I just think he makes the funniest sounds. We have never had a dog to sound like he is trying to talk back to us. I have a little female chihuahua too. She will be 14 next month. She is right the opposite of him. We use to have rabbits. My daughter and I love rabbits. Have you seen Taco our Sulcata tortoise? She gets along great with our chihuahuas.
