I was so excited when I kept seeing these
fun Deco Mesh Wreaths on Pinterest.. and I really wanted to make one,
but wasn't inspired to do so until I saw my friend Cindee making a
wreath... then I knew I had to go buy the supplies and try one for
myself!!
So, on Thanksgiving
Day, I embarked on my Deco Mesh Wreath Journey.. and voila, WOW are
these things fast and easy!
These are the 2 wreaths I made.. they took about 3-4 hours total.
One is on our door and one is above the fireplace.
These are pretty large.. about 24" in diameter and really fluffy and colorful!
I decided to add my little paper angels from last year to the wreath above the fireplace when I came across them while decorating the tree:
I bought the supplies at a variety of
craft and big box stores and even some supplies at the dollar discount
stores.. you can find all sorts of GREAT bargains for Christmas decor items right now!
I used 1 roll of 21" wide mesh per wreath plus about a 1/2 roll of the 6" wide mesh.
Hobby Lobby had the 16" wreath bases with the pipe cleaners already on them.. SO convenient!
Here is the 411 - the How To - on the Deco Mesh Wreaths!
To embellish, try adding strings of holiday ornaments or other garland
Add a 2nd layer of mesh all the way around for added fullness:
For added color contrast, use a small roll of another color:
I found these cute glitter bulbs at the
craft store and strung 3 together on a pipe cleaner and added those to
one of the wreaths
What do you think... it's so fun.. a great Christmas Craft for this season!
