- Before getting started, make sure you have gathered all of the necessary supplies
- Susan started this Wreath by first adding the base layer of Deco Mesh to the Wreath Form. For this Wreath she used the 10" Metallic Orange Mesh for the base. She started on the outer ring of the work form and used the pre-attached chenille stems to tie down the Deco Mesh. She created loops or bubbles as she moved from one set of chenille stems to the next. Once the outer ring was complete she skipped over into the inner ring and completed the same steps.
- Once the base layer of Mesh was added, Susan moved on to creating the tubing clusters out of the other three colors of Mesh. She cut 12 pieces of each color 10"-12" in length. She then rolled each piece into a tubing shape and then clustered one of each together. She used the existing chenille stems to tie the clusters onto the Wreath.
- Next Susan added the Maple Leaf Ivy Garland to the Wreath. She did not cut this to add it to the Wreath. She simply used the same chenille stems that are already on the work form to tie the Garland onto the Wreath. She weaved it through the Mesh folds so that it was better incorporated than just sitting on top of the Mesh.
- Susan then worked on adding the Lonely Leaves Sign to the center of the Wreath. She used a couple pieces of the burlap ribbon to attach this sign. She hot glued the ribbon to the back of the sign and then tied it onto the work wreath frame.
- Once the sign had been added, Susan worked on tying three 2 loop bows out of both ribbons to add to the Wreath. She added them to the top and both sides of the Wreath.
- To finish off this Wreath, Susan tied a larger bow using the last roll of each ribbon. She added this bow to the bottom right hand corner of the Wreath just under the edge of the sign. She left the tails longer and curled them some to give more movement and dimension.
- When this Wreath is finished you will be left with a gorgeous piece to use inside or outside you home!
