Welcome to Day 5 of 12 Days of Christmas. If you have missed any of the days click here, here, here, and here.
Who doesn't love a inexpensive wreath? I do and I am sure you do too. The truth is wreaths are very pricey and if you replace them often, or would like one to go over you vinette, it's best to make one yourself. Most of the items you will be able to find at the dollar store or dollar section at Target. I have an easy Christmas wreath to share with you.

In the lasted few years I have changed color schemes and I had to change out my wreaths. So this year I went to the Dollar Tree and found a roll of red and gold deco mesh and a roll of ribbon. I had picked up a wreath from Walmart for a few dollars.
Supplies need:
Any color Deco Mesh
Wreath
Ribbon
Embellishment
I gathered the deco mesh and bend over so you couldn't see the rough edges then using the wreath branches to tie in place. (Picture on the left.) I continued to gather the deco mesh, making sure I made different size loops.
The top two pictures show how I continued to make different size loops and tying off with the branches from the wreath. I then went around a second time but I added my ribbon (see two pictures on the bottom). Since the roll of deco mesh was large enough, I was able to go around the wreath a third time. I only used the Noel ribbon one time around, since I wanted it to stand out. Also, by adding the mesh a third time around, it gave the wreath a fuller look.
Thank you for stopping by and see you tomorrow as we share fun Christmas games!

ReplyDeleteIt is amazing what you can make out of a few dollar store supplies! Very pretty wreath!
ReplyDeleteVery cute, I'm going to have to pick up some more of the garland and the twists, this is a great technique for any seasonal ribbon, and I've got lots of different ribbons on hand!!!
