Spring/Easter Wreath


So I have gotten a little behind on my seasonal wreath tutorials.  Looking back through my pictures I completely ran out of time forgot to post my Mom's Christmas wreath.

I thought it turned out pretty well.


It is now March!  St. Patrick's Day is 13 days away.  Spring is 16 days away.  Easter is 23 days away.

I think a multipurpose wreath will do the trick.


All of the these wreaths are "woven" the same way.  Use different color wreath frames, different deco mesh, and accessories for a variety of styles.

Materials - 

24" wreath frame
21 yard deco mesh material - any color, and type of mesh








Start by separating the wreath ties


Next, unwrap your deco mesh, hold onto the end and let the roll fall to the floor.  This makes it a whole lot easier to work.  Take the end of your deco mesh roll and bunch it up.


Place between one of the ties and twist two times.


With your wreath frame in front of you, one end tied to your frame, and the rest laying in the floor, gather about an 8"-10" section, and twist it into the next section of tie.


Once you finish on the bottom section, just start on the top.  Once you are finished, your wreath will look something like this:

This is from the wreath above

A Purple Deco Mesh

A Multi-color Striped Burlap Deco Mesh

At this point, depending on how creative you want to be, you can leave your wreath as is or you can add embellishments.

For my Mom's wreath, she is covering two holidays.  First, she is going use a large felt shamrock for St Patrick's Day and then a cute Bunny for Easter and Spring.  (Sorry we don't have a picture of the shamrock.)


For my wreath, I just added simple "Glitter Whispy Bead Spray" as the store called them.


For my Aunt's wreath, we are still in search of another bunny.


Quick Note - my apologies about the pictures.  My normal camera isn't working properly, so they did not turn out very bright like they usually do.

I hope you all enjoyed and if you have questions, please feel free to ask.
