Equipment

- Collapsible Mesh Roller holds mesh rolls for easier cutting
- Metal Punch Amazon
Supplies
- 1 24" Pencil or Work Wreath Color that blends with mesh - burlap or white
- 1 Sign Vintage Sage Green Bunny Sign

- 1 1.5" Ribbon 2 Styles, Natural and Mint
- 1 2.5" Ribbon White Embossed
- 1 7/8" Ribbon Sage
Instructions
- Cut the mesh into 20" pieces. 36 pieces total - it will take all of both rolls.
- Use the curl-ruffle method (kruffle) and make two, crisscross them, and secure into each twist on the wreath. To make a kruffle, roll the edges under a bit, then scrunch up through the center.
- Cut ribbon the 2.5" and 1.5" ribbon into 13" lengths. Make a cluster of 3 ribbon pinch in the center. Undo twist, place ribbon cluster and re-twist. The 7/8" ribbon was saved just for the bow.
- Attach metal sign by punching a hole in the top and bottom center. Secure with floral wire or chenille stems to the wreath form. Place in the center or side. Secure well, but try not to smush down the mesh too much.
- Make a bow and secure with chenille stems. Bow placement varies depending on the placement of the sign.
- Finish ribbons off with a dove tail or angled cut as desired.
- Smooth all the ribbons and make sure right side is showing, clip any frays, run and your fingers under the ribbons to give them a slight curl.
Notes
This technique can be used to create almost any type of mesh wreath you like! You'll need two rolls of 10" (or 10.25" to 10.5") mesh, a 24" wreath form, ribbons of your choice, and a sign. The Trendy Tree 24" wreath form starts at 15" wide, but with the ties and added mesh, your finished wreath will be 24" or larger in diameter.
You don’t have to use four ribbons—sometimes just a couple are plenty. Or, if you prefer, you can skip the ribbon strips altogether and use one or more bows instead. Make it uniquely yours! Trendy Tree has a huge selection of ribbons, mesh, wreath forms, and signs to help you create the perfect design. 🎀✨
