Let me show how simple it can be to create a wreath with a traditional look that can be displayed all winter.
Supplies:
Roll of orange mesh 21" width
Orange work wreath
Roll of ribbon 2 1/2" width
Silk flowers and floral picks with berries, pumpkins, leaves
Take the mesh and gather it every 10 to 12 inches and attach it to the inside ring of the work wreath by twisting the tinsel sprigs around it.
Add mesh around the inside ring and then to the outer ring.
Loop the ribbon to craft a bow for the bottom of the wreath.
Using floral picks with flowers and berries make decorating wreaths so simple. Simply dab hot glue to the end of the stem and insert it down into the mesh. Arrange the flowers to suit your fancy.
For additional fullness, I took 3 larger picks and clipped them into pieces and filled them in around the flowers.
Cut a few strips of ribbon about 12 inches each and add the around behind the flowers on the outer ring of the wreath. Use the tinsel sprigs to hold the ribbon strips in place.
This DIY Fall mesh wreath boast of rich colors that extend a warm welcome to visitors during this Thanksgiving season and all winter long.
Have a blessed Thanksgiving
