Instructions
Step 1: Adding the Base Layer with Mesh
Start with a clean cut on your mesh. This helps keep everything neat.
Scrunch up the edge and place it into one of the twist ties on the outer ring of your frame. Twist it tight!
Measure 10-inch poofs, scrunching and securing at each tie around the wreath frame.
When you get all the way around, cut off any extra mesh and secure it well.
Step 2: Adding Mesh Curls for Volume
Cut each piece to about 20 inches. You’ll need 9 pieces of each color (since we have 18 twist ties).
Roll in both ends, then scrunch up the middle like a little bow tie.
Secure one orange and one natural curl into each tie on the wreath.
Adjust and fluff them as you go so they look nice and full!
Step 3: Adding Ribbon Tails
Cut 12-inch strips of each ribbon (you’ll need 9 of each design).
Dovetail the ends by folding the ribbon in half and cutting at an angle.
Pair them up—we’re doing one butterfly print with polka dots and one daisy print with orange.
Scrunch in the middle, then tuck them into the twist ties right on top of the mesh.
Spread the ribbons out in an “X” shape so all four tails are visible.
Step 4: Fluffing & Adjusting
Now that all our mesh and ribbons are in place, it’s time to fluff everything out so the wreath looks full and even.
