Equipment
- Wire cutters
Ingredients
- 1 Witch hat wreath frame
- 4 rolls Deco mesh 3 rolls of black and 1 roll of lime green
- 1 package Pipe cleaners
- 1 Glitter spider
- Command strip
Instructions
- Cut several pipe cleaners in half using wire cutters.
- Beginning at the top of the wreath form, add a 1/2 pipe cleaner at the top and twist to tighten.
- Grab the black deco mesh, bunch up, and tighten the pipe cleaner around the bunch and twist.
- Keeping the deco mesh somewhat bunched up in your hand, wrap around the wreath form. You want to overlap the row on top when you wrap.
- Continue until you've reached the third horizontal wire bar on the wreath form, or wherever you'd like to begin the band with the green mesh. Add a pipe cleaner and tie down the mesh the same way you did at the top. Trim the excess black mesh off the top and bottom with the scissors.
- Add the green mesh with a pipe cleaner and wrap 5 - 6 times to create a band. Secure the end with a pipe cleaner and trim both ends of the mesh with scissors.
- Continue the black the way that you did in steps 3 - 4 until you get to the brim.
- At one end of the brim, add a pipe cleaner and twist around to secure.
- Bunch up the deco mesh and secure to the pipe cleaner. Twist.
- Move your hand down about 12" on the deco mesh and bunch up. Secure close to the first pipe cleaner with another pipe cleaner.
- Continue bunching up lengths of deco mesh and attach to the wreath frame with pipe cleaners. Work your way across the top of the brim and then the bottom.
- Use your hands to fluff in between the pipe cleaners and spread the mesh out. Add any additional mesh as needed to fill in areas.
- Trim all loose ends with scissors. Add a spider or other embellishment using a hot glue gun.
- Hang with a Command strip making sure to hang on one of the hooks versus the mesh.
