Make Christmas wreaths out of decorative mesh – this is how it works!
At Christmas you decorate the house and the entrance to the housewith pretty decorations, which put everyone in a festive mood. The right choice of colors and the selected motifs are crucial. Below we have provided two instructions for a Christmas wreath made of decorative mesh that you can do at home. The first instruction is a door wreath that has no empty space in the middle. It looks like a large ball that is opulently decorated. In the second variant, the shape is exactly similar to a wreath because there is a gap in the middle.
To make a decorative mesh Christmas wreath, you should first collect the materials you need. First you need a wire wreath to make, which you can use as a template for your Christmas wreath. Ideally, its diameter should be 26 or 30 cm. You can find such wire wreath frames in craft stores, for example, or order them here. Of course, you also need the decorative fabric mesh, which makes the wreath so special. A fine-meshed net for crafting is available here, for example. You can also ask at the florist's supply store or visit the craft store. To attach the fabric to the wire wreath you will need pipe cleaners like this one. If you would like to make the door wreath even more beautiful for Christmas, you can use other decorations, such as decorative ribbons, Christmas balls or decorations.
Make your own door wreath from the decorative fabric mesh – instructions
For a beautiful wreath, you should combine at least two matching colors of decorative mesh. In the first example, gold and white/silver are used. First, cut out the mesh fabric in equal squares, approximately 25cm. Then take the wire wreath and tie several pipe cleaners around the wire rings, like in the picture above. You can now tie the door wreath. Take two squares of mesh fabric in different colors and bring them together in the middle to create a kind of bow. Then tie one such bow to each pipe cleaner without bending it too tightly.
If you want to make the wreath even more beautiful, you can use another technique to tie the fabric. In addition to bows, you can also make beautiful spirals out of it. Since the mesh fabric usually comes on rolls, you can easily make small spirals from the cut out squares. Then tie these to the pipe cleaners in the same way until the entire wreath is covered. Finally, just add a few decorative ribbons in matching colors, bend the pipe cleaners down so they are no longer visible and the wreath is ready to hang on the door.
Make a traditional door wreath
If you want your wreath to have a traditional shape, then you can consider this decorative mesh door wreath craft idea. For this project you will need a wire wreath and a roll of decorative mesh fabric. We recommend using patterned mesh for a more beautiful wreath. You will also need pipe cleaners, adhesive tape, scissors and other decorations of your choice.
The first step is to cut the pipe cleaners in half and tie them around the outer rings of the wire wreath. Work on the back, i.e. the side where the rings curve outwards. Then take the decorative mesh without cutting it out of the roll, bundle the end together and tie it with tape. Twist the bundle with a pipe cleaner so the fabric stays on the front of the wreath. Now create ruffles out of the mesh fabric and attach them to the upper side of the wire wreath with the pipe cleaners. In this way, the bending plush remains hidden under the mesh fabric. Continue using the same method until the entire wreath is covered. Then cut the mesh fabric out of the roll and tie the end again at the bottom of the wreath. Decorate the wreath with any decoration and you're done.
