beautiful Tuesday here in Market Square
she has tied more than 5000 bows made
more than 300 flowers and painted more
than 50 wreaths and now local artist
Stephanie Pina frost is passing on all
of her knowledge of these beautiful
beautiful Fiesta crafts good afternoon
good afternoon good afternoon yes you're
here to help us make these maybe give
our viewers some tips' if they want to
make their own Fiesta wreath most
definitely definitely so how did you get
started as an artist and a crafter so my
passion has always been about color and
about Fiesta and fun and family and
starting off when I was really young my
grandfather used to make handmade
Spanish tiles and he kind of got me into
that passion of color and not being
afraid and not being afraid to express
yourself so several years back I started
to make the histories and because of his
passion he kind of inspired me to do
these really amazingly colorful wreaths
and these tiles are basically right
behind us over there mm-hmm I meet data
okay yes it is that was one of his last
job that he did and that's his legacy so
I can always tell people go to maybe I
don't go look at the money I took a
little circle and here you are today
today runs in the family so you brought
some for us to make today I did I did
we're gonna do some of these small
amazingly colorful Fiesta wreaths so I
start off with a natural plain old
grapevine wreath that I buy locally here
antenna and he says you can leave them
natural if you want to but your tip was
to paint him and that I think that just
adds to it painting makes it gives it
that personality it makes it yours
it's different I haven't seen yesterday
you might as well be colorful yeah don't
be afraid okay so yeah so we're gonna
make a couple of these I went ahead in I
pre tied the bows to them for you kind
of makes it a little bit easier for
y'all because that is probably the most
time-consuming part of it and even
though this looks very I mean engine and
they're all Dyson devs an intricate name
but that's very simple way of doing it
right
partly it's definitely simple to me
because I I do I've made over 5,000 but
some people kind of have challenges
because of the dexterity of it but if
you just take about six feet of ribbon
you accordion-style it fold it you don't
even have to twist it cut it staple it
nothing like that I tie it with a
curling ribbon and then I tie them on to
the wreaths and just tuck them in there
real nice and tight right
in color no I want different so you just
take a couple of the big of the of the
big flowers and you stick them right
through the grapevine just don't be
afraid to push them on through they're
not gonna break
where are you fine yeah like the
contrast of the purple in the line I
said to the big flowers I make of myself
because I love to create I'm always
about creating whatever I can so I make
the big flowers myself I get the rest of
the flowers from places like Travis
wholesale house or Fiesta on me like you
just had features because I guess you
find these at the national craft stores
like Hobby Lobby or Michaels but this is
a definitely a local thing which I love
a much local alright so sorry yeah and
then you can stick some of the little
thatis ethos or the other smaller
flowers kind of stick them kind of
wherever you like okay let me take you
how long to make you two hours two or
three hours to make the small ones and
then about four hours to make the larger
ones like we have in the back and you
have you do have classes that people can
sign up for right I can i I do offer
classes people can reach out to me if
they want to if they want to schedule a
class it's a it's a five person minimum
I would come out to you with everything
all the supplies you don't have to worry
about a thing I set up I teach you how
to make them there's no real way there's
no right way or wrong way it's just kind
of however you feel whatever you like
and people can find you as well because
you're out and about selling your Reese
