How To Make A Beautiful Deco Mesh Wreath
1.) Prep Your Wreath | Using your ruler and pencil, draw straight lines (from corner to corner and side to side) along one side of your cardboard square. Use the point of your pencil to create evenly spaced, small holes along those lines.
2.) Create Rose Petals & Leaves | Using strips of deco mesh and your scissors, simply roll your deco mesh flat and cut a 10” x 10” strip.
(Note: In total, we cut 13, 10” x 10” petals from each of our hot pink deco mesh rolls and 2, 10” x 10” leaves from our moss colored deco mesh.)
3.) After your strips of deco mesh have been cut out, put one on top of the other and fold the pair into a triangle. Repeat with each of your hot pink deco mesh strips.
4.) Plant Your Petals | Beginning with the center of your flower, take the middle point of your petal and thread it through the center of your cardboard base. Repeat with each of the surrounding holes.
5.) Let Your Petals Bloom | Start with the center flower petal. Carefully wrap each corner of the flower petal inward. Repeat this wrapping motion with each of the surrounding petals. When you have reached the outer edges of your flower, secure the petal ends to the cardboard base with hot glue.
6.) Finally, finish by rolling each moss colored deco mesh strip into simple tube shapes and hot gluing them to the outer corners of your flower wreath.
