DIY Happiness: Hello Sunshine Wreath

Basic Instructions:

• Mesh – Cut pieces of mesh 20″ lengths. It takes 36 pieces total (two rolls of mesh). If your mesh comes up a little bit short, don’t worry, it will never show.
• Ruffles – Curl the cut edges of the mesh under and scrunch up through the middle to make a ruffle. Place two ruffles in each twist.
• Ribbon Strips – Cut 13″ in length, eighteen of each style. Finish off ends with a chevron cut or angled cut. We put a cluster of four styles of ribbon in each twist. But you don’t have to! This deco mesh wreath would be just as pretty without ribbon strips. Be sure to spread the ribbons out so they all show up. Run your fingers under the ribbons to give them a little curl.
• Sign – Punch holes in the metal sign and attach chenille stems. We used an awl and hammer. Or you can use cable mounts and secure chenille stems with them. Secure the sign to the wreath form. Position it in the middle or side, whichever you prefer. Be careful not to squash down the mesh or ribbons with the sign, but do attach it to the metal wreath form. Reach in from the back side of the wreath to attach.
• Bow – Make a 14″ wreath bow in any manner you like. Carrie used the EZ Bowmaker. It’s one of our go-to tools. 
• Finishing Touches – Clip any stray threads, and make a hanger with a chenille stem or floral wire. Re-fluff ribbons as necessary. Stand back and take a look. Sometimes you don’t see gaps or wayward ribbons until you see it on the door. Or in the photos later!
