Servings 1 wreath
Cost $12
Equipment
- 1 Heavy duty scissors or wire cutters
- 1 Ruler
- 1 Rotary cutter or scissors
Ingredients
- 1 Wire wreath form 14"
- 4 rolls 6” X 30 ft rolls of decorative mesh pink (1), lime (1), lavender, (1), blue (1)
- 1 package Pipe cleaner(s) 12″
Instructions
- Start the project by cutting tubes of mesh approximately 10" in length. Unroll the mesh onto your cutting mat and measure, then cut with scissors or a rotary cutter. The width of the mesh should be around 6", and so you'll be working with a bunch of 10" x 6" pieces you're going to roll into tubes.
- Cut several pieces of all four colors at once. I usually start with about 15 tubes of each color because I know I'm going to need at least that many. Then I add as needed.
- Grab the package of pipe cleaners and cut each one into four pieces. You don't need to cut every single pipe cleaner in the package; just cut enough to get started. Set aside.
- The process of attaching the mesh is really easy. Start with a mesh piece and roll it into a tube. It doesn't have to be really tight. Hold the tube in one of your hands and pinch and twist between your fingers.
- Wrap this tube around any spot on the wreath form. I recommend starting anywhere on the form towards the outside. Bring the ends of the mesh around to touch each other, and then wrap a pipe cleaner piece around and twist.
- Repeat step 5 over and over and over again from wire to wire until the wreath form is full. You have three colors, so I recommend randomly placing the mesh tubes so the colors are spread out.
- After you've added a bunch of the mesh tubes, step back and see where the wreath might need more. Add the tubes in just as before to fill in the sparse areas.
- Push the center of the mesh out with your hands and fluff the wreath as needed. Hang using a wreath hook or Command strip hook.
