Instructions
Prepare the Mesh Base:
- Cut the mesh into 16 pieces for a 20-inch base. Adjust if using different sized bases (e.g., 18 pieces for a 24-inch base).
Assemble the Mesh on the Base:
- Start by adding poufs around the wreath base.
- Add ruffles by cutting additional mesh (about 20 inches each) and placing them on the outer ring of the wreath.
- Alternate the colors (burgundy, gold, blue) to create a pattern.
Add Stems and Picks:
- Group the stems and picks into bundles. Include glittered bay leaves, metallic boxwood, glittered eucalyptus, cotton metallic apple leaves, and baby leaves.
- Layer the stems to create a full, dimensional look. Secure each bundle with zip ties.
- Attach the bundles to the wreath base, spacing them evenly.
Create and Add Ribbons:
- Using the 3/4" ribbon, create 2 x 12" loop.
- Add each layer of ribbon, adding an inch to the loops as you layer.
- Make a large bow using a mix of ribbons, ensuring to include both neutral and glittered options.
- Attach the bow to the center of the wreath, weaving the ribbon tails through the wreath.
Add Finishing Touches:
- Insert additional decorative elements like glittered stems, large bows, and any additional picks to fill in gaps.
- Use hot glue to secure any loose ends or to attach additional elements like ornaments, flowers, or other seasonal decorations.
Final Adjustments:
- Fluff the mesh and ribbons to ensure the wreath looks full and balanced.
- Make any necessary trims to ensure a neat finish.
- If desired, add a focal flower or large ornament to the center for an extra touch.
