DIY : Curly Deco Mesh Wreath

These deco mesh wreaths have a fun and have a festive look to them! I chose these colors because it went with the house it was going to. You can choose whatever colors you like to make it fit your home or for any holiday!


Here is a picture of the supplies you'll need. I get all the supplies at Hobby Lobby. Usually For all this it costs around $20-$25. The mesh rolls will also last for two wreaths.

  • One 16'' wire wreath form 
  • Three different color 10''rolls of mesh (you can use more if you want a fuller/bigger wreath).
  • One roll of ribbon. You can use a thicker one or smaller one, which ever you like better. 
  • Pipe cleaners. 
First to cut the spirals, cut pieces of each color of mesh about 9'' (doesn't have to be exact). Tightly roll one piece of mesh and keep it pinched in the center.


Roll the other two colors the same way and put them all together keeping them pinched in the middle. Next cut a piece of ribbon about 6''-8'' and put that on top of your mesh. Use a pipe cleaner to secure the centers together. Twist it as tightly as possible to keep the centers rolled and secured together.



Here is what the spiral set will look like held together with the pipe cleaner. I usually make about 10 sets of these then start attaching them to the wire wreath. I use the ribbon on every other one (if you think you want more ribbon then add it to each one, you'll have to buy two rolls of ribbon.) 


Place the spiral set on top of the wire wreath. Secure the spiral set onto one of the wires with the pipe cleaner and twist it tightly .Take the left over pipe cleaner that are now on the backside of the wreath form and twist them along other wires on the form. You are trying to keep the spiral set from moving along the wreath wires. Twisting the pipe cleaner along the parallel wires tightly seemed to work best for me. 
Now just continue to do this all the way around the wire wreath. 


 Here is the wreath about half way around 



Here is what the front and back will look like when it is all the way done. 

Here is how mine turned out on the door. I decided to add an "S" to it to make it more personal. 
Try this same technique with colors that will fit you!
