Patriotic Deco Mesh Wreath

Ok, I think this is a record for me!!! 2 weeks until July 4th and I've made a new wreath for the front door! Now, if I can only get the mantel decorated in the next couple of days I will really be on top of it!

Wal-Mart has started carrying Deco Mesh type ribbon for only $5 a spool.  I bought one 10" red and one 6" red/white/blue, along with 2 lengths of patriotic tinsel from Dollar Tree and a package of small flags from Hobby Lobby.  The wreath form also came from Wal-Mart.

Three Cheers for the Red, White & Blue!

I love how sparkly and bright it is and it really looks great on our wood door. Have you ever worked with this kind of ribbon before? It is a very quick and easy process and gives such a glamorous look to your front door.

We are halfway through the week!! Can't wait till Friday - how about you?

    1. Sandy, I got the wire form at WalMart too. I used pipe cleaners to attach the ribbon on to the frame. You can buy wire wreath forms that are made for Deco Mesh and already have the pipe cleaners on them but they are more expensive. Hobby Lobby also carries the wire frames. I think it was about 3 dollars and I used white pipe cleaners. I would love to see how yours turns out! Email me a picture - jeanette@craftyincrosby.com Good luck!
