- Before getting started make sure to gather all of the necessary supplies. This wreath can be recreated with any combination of Mesh and Ribbon. You can use these steps to create a wreath for every season or any occasion.
- Susan started this Mesh Wreath by first attaching the base mesh to the Wreath Form. She started on the lower ring of the Wreath Form and worked her way around the Wreath using the chenille stems on the Wreath Form to attach the Mesh. She made a loop in between the two sets of chenille stems and then moved onto the next. Once the outer ring was complete she moved to the inner ring by attaching the next loop to the first set of chenille stems on that ring. She did not cut the Mesh in between the outer and inner ring.
- Next Susan used the other three colors of Mesh to make the tubing clusters that are attached to the Wreath. She used a cutting mat and a rotary tool to cut the pieces. Each piece is measured 10"-14" long and she cut 12 pieces of each color to make 12 clusters for the Wreath. Once she had all of the pieces cut she grouped three together and then tied them to the Wreath using the same chenille stems that are already on the Wreath. She skipped every other stem of chenille stems and alternated between the top and bottom ring.
- Once all of the Mesh Clusters have been added to the Wreath you can move onto adding the sign in the middle of the Wreath. Susan used two chenille stems to attach the sign to the Wreath Form frame. The metal sign has two predrilled holes that make this very easy to do.
- To finish off this Wreath Susan made 12 bows using the two Spring ribbons that she chose. She made a single loop out of each ribbon stacking them on top of each other and then used the chenille stems on the Wreath Form to secure each stack to the Wreath. She placed each bow stack in the spots where she did not place the mesh clusters.
- When you have finished adding all of the bow stacks you can come to a stopping point. You will have a bright and cheerful Wreath to use throughout Spring and Summer.
