As the weather turns warmer I start redecorating the house for Spring and Easter. From the front door to the outside I have some great decorating idea’s.
Spring Deco Mesh Wreath :
How much Deco mesh do you need to make a wreath?
For a 15-24″ Premade Work Form, you’ll need 18 pieces of the mesh. Ruffle each piece of the 10″ mesh and insert one ruffle into each twist tie.
I buy mine from Big box craft stores or local Dollar Tree.
