Cut red and blue mesh into equal lengths and form ruffles or poofs. Attach each piece to the pancake frame with pipe cleaners or zip ties, alternating colors as you work around the frame. Keep mesh tight and controlled to maintain the flat profile.
Add a second layer for depth
Go back in with a second mesh or accent layer to fill gaps and add dimension. Alternate stripe and solid patterns to keep the design interesting without adding bulk.
Create and attach your bow
Build a layered bow starting with the wider ribbon, then layer in the star, floral, and flag ribbons for detail. Attach the bow slightly off center to create movement.
Attach the round sign
Place the round sign in the center of the wreath and secure it using pipe cleaners through the frame in at least two places so it stays flat and does not shift.
Add florals and greenery
Place blue floral sprays around the sign and throughout the wreath in small clusters. Let some stems extend slightly outward for a natural look.
Shape and adjust
Fluff mesh, adjust ribbon loops, and reposition florals as needed. Step back and check that colors feel balanced across the full design before finishing.
