However, those pipe cleaners could scratch your wall or door so you may want to trim them with wire cutters. It doesn’t really matter because people won’t see the back. The back of your wreath will look like a a crazy mess with all of the pipe cleaners. The picture below shows my wreath with all attachments connected. The wreath looks great once you get a lot of attachments on and they’re pushed tightly together.īelow you’ll see a picture when I just had 1/2 of the Easter mesh wreath done. You’ll notice that you can fit a lot in there.Īlso, at first, it won’t look very good. Just keep pushing each attachment close to the other ones. I put approximately ten attachments in each section. Twist the pipe cleaner 4-5 times, keeping the attachment tight onto the wire wreath frame.Ĭontinue to connect the attachments to the wire frame. The picture below shows the wreath looking up from underneath. You will be putting the attachments on the middle two wires, meaning you’ll pull your pipe cleaners onto the frame as shown below. Put the Easter mesh wreath attachments on the wire wreath frame. I used a couple different patterns of ribbon so I kept my attachments in two separate piles. You don’t want to twist it too many times or it won’t sit as flat on the wire wreath frame.
I twisted the pipe cleaner around 2 times. Then, wrap and twist a pipe cleaner tightly around the stack of mesh ribbons. Scrunch the center together and pinch the center. I like to criss cross mine just a little bit. Then stack the three mesh “rolls” and the piece of ribbon on top each other. I recommend picking a color that coordinates so that if it shows through, it isn’t noticeable. To make the Easter mesh wreath attachments, you need 3 pieces of mesh (different colors) and a ribbon (ribbon is optional) and a pipe cleaner. You’ll make about 60-70 ribbon bundles/attachments that will fill up the wire wreath frame of your Easter mesh wreath. It gets pretty crazy with all the cut mesh and ribbon so you might want to gather some bowls/baskets to organize the pieces. Don’t get too specific as it turns out really cute no matter what.Ĭut a “V” on each side of the ribbon, if desired. This Dollar Tree mesh has a 6″ height, so I should have cut my ribbon about 8-9″ long. I’d recommend cutting the pieces of regular ribbon about 1 1/2 – 3″ inches longer than the height of your mesh, depending on how much you want to poke out. I cut mine the same height and it ended up not sticking out enough to be very noticeable in the wreath unless you’re close to it. When cutting your regular ribbon, cut it a bit longer than the height of your mesh ribbon. The pieces of cut mesh ribbon were about 7″ most of the time.

Once it creates a full circle, cut the piece of mesh. To eyeball the length needed, you just need to begin to roll the mesh. I started by measuring 8″ pieces, but quickly switched to an eyeballing technique. You can either measure the mesh or you can eye ball it. They were perfect for my wreath! Cut pieces of mesh ribbon and regular ribbonįirst, cut pieces of ribbon, a lot of them! A 14″ Easter mesh wreath requires approximately 70 pieces of mesh ribbon, along with pieces of regular ribbon.
