For this wreath, you will need these supplies that you can purchase at MardiGrasOutlet.com.

Here is the video tutorial:


What is Deco Mesh?
 Deco mesh is a synthetic sinamay mesh product that is both resilient and water resistant. It comes on rolls of varying widths-from 2.5" to 21" wide. This mesh works beautiful outdoors so it is the perfect product for creating wreaths and garland. For all the available styles of deco mesh rolls, click here. 

What are Work Products?
Work products are a line of forms in different shapes used to create custom wreaths, trees or balls. The form is basically a wire base with added tinsel wire ties. The ties are used to attach garland or ribbon. While the work forms work very well with deco mesh, you do not have to use mesh. Fabric, ribbon or fresh greenery would all work in the forms. To see all the sizes and shapes of forms, see here

    Do you use the entire roll of the mesh for one wreath?

      The 24" work wreath uses about 8 yards of mesh (a roll is 10 yards). The larger 30" work wreath form uses 10 yards (a whole roll). The tutorial featured here is for a 24" work wreath so you will have about 2 yards of mesh left over after the project.

    Can you estimate how much flex tubing is used per wreath?

      The designer used 10-15 yards of deco flex tubing for this wreath. Hope that helps!

      There are definitely a few projects that can be easily made with leftover materials. The Party Puff Tutorial shows you how to use small pieces of mesh, available here:

      We also have a scrap wreath tutorial that we'll be posting, but one of our fellow bloggers made this nice Scrap Mesh Wreath, her idea is available here...

    How much of the smaller ribbon was used on this wreath? The one used to make the bow. Thanks.

    We used approximately 2.5 yards of the lime green 4" Mesh Ribbon, but you could use more or less depending on how much volume you would like your wreath to have.

    That ribbon size is available here in many colors...

    If I understand this correctly only one roll of the 21" mesh ribbon is needed for each wreath?

      This wreath only requires one 21" roll of Poly Deco Mesh, and you will have a few feet left over. Most of your 4" ribbon roll will also be left over.

      Thanks and Happy Holidays!
