"Now, I'm getting ready to show you how to make a wall hanging, or a floral piece of artwork. It's a lot different than what it used to be, you really need to think outside of the box. Instead of, it doesn't have to be a round wreath or a swag that just hangs over top of a wall. It could be any shape that you really want and it could be any type of look whether it be contemporary or traditional. It could be any size, we can go as large as you would like it to be, twenty feet by twenty feet, or come down to a smaller piece. It's something that really stretches your imagination, and your creativity in order to come up with a really neat design and idea. And, what I've asked you to try not to do is don't think inside of that box, it could be anything outside that you want, and it could be any shape. What you need to do is find out where you're going to locate it so that will give you your parameters. Whether it be a long and skinny piece, whether it be a square, short and fat, or whether it's really dimensional, or has to stay close to the wall. So, what you need to do is start thinking outside the box, and not think of a round wreath."
