Deco Mesh Wreath

Hello fellow crafters! Just letting you know that we only have about 2 months before Christmas and even less time than that if you want to get your decorations up. I bet you want to a super duper easy decorating idea huh? No worries, I've got one ready just for you, the Deco Mesh Wreath!

If you have no idea what this Deco Mesh stuff is, this is what it looks like. It's a plastic mesh interlaced with sparkly foil and comes in a lot of different sizes and colors. 

These are work wreaths, which are essentially just two wire rings attached together with some artificial pine boughs. They look pretty skimpy all by themselves but just wait and see what happens when you add the Deco Mesh.

This is how you're going to start making your wreath. Starting with the top circle on the work wreath, open up a pair of pine boughs. Grab a hank of the Deco Mesh, scrunch it together, and place it in between the two pine pieces.

Then, you use the pine pieces to secure the Deco Mesh to the work wreath. It's a little like twist-tying the Deco Mesh in. Easy right?

To make a basic wreath just continue placing bunches of Deco Mesh into the pine boughs all around the wreath. In between pine pieces I usually measure out about 6 to 12 inches of Deco Mesh (which makes the poofs on the wreath smaller or bigger). Also, since there are two rings on the work wreath, I tend work the top ring first then move on to the bottom.

If you want to add other colors to your wreath you can do it really easily. I just reopen all the pine pieces and use them to secure the second or even third color of Deco Mesh.

Here's my finished wreath made with royal blue, turquoise, and white Deco Mesh on a white work wreath.

If you would like to see this project in person, our Enchanted Lake store will be doing demonstrations for this wreath from now, all the way up until Christmas. Stop by the store or check out our online store calendar for specific dates and times.

Keep on crafting!
