If you need to purchase the supplies for this wreath, I’ve included handy links to help you find them faster. The snowball mesh isn't as dense as some wide foils, so I don't know how they would work out.Supplies Needed For Patriotic Mesh Wreath Sometimes what works for one project won't work for the next. Heavier 21" mesh or wide foils, would just have to be tested to see if this manner would work for those too. Plus, many times there are styles of mesh in 21" width that are not available in 10" widths. Sometimes when you don't have the product you need, just you have to make the product that you have work and this sure seems like a good solution))) It will take longer to make a ruffle wreath using 21" mesh, but the look is similar to the ruffle wreaths made 10" mesh. The wreath in this image was filled in to use for a Snowman head or body. You don't have to do this if you are just making a regular wreath and adding embellishments to it. Please note on this wreath, we had also filled in the center by adding 4-5 extra ruffle clusters. Here's a side view of the 10" wreath we did. Essentially you have the thickness in mesh of about 4 typical 10" ruffles. Re-secure the twist with a couple of turns. To layer your ruffles, open up the twist on the ruffle you just secured and lay the looped ends of the ruffles opposite to each other. Secure your ruffle in one of the twists on the wreath form. You can fluff the looped side a little, but not too much, You don't want to pull your cut edges out. One side of your ruffle will be a looped side and one an open side. You should have a folded piece of mesh that measures 10" in width.Īt the center, or 5" mark, scrunch up through the middle and hold pinched in your fingers. Fold the mesh over from right to left and keep the ends together. You mesh may be 21" but that's close enough.įind your center point which would be the 10" mark and place your finger there.
Lay your fold piece on your mat or yardstick at the 1 to 20 mark. While holding that folded top edge down, fold the bottom edge up to the center and keep holding it flat as best you can. I was to the very end of the mesh roll so it didn't lay flat very well)) Just spread the mesh out best as you can on your cutting mat or use a yard stick.įold the top edge of the mesh toward the center, not rolled up, but folded. We use a 24" x 36" self healing Omnigrid Cutting Mat and a 45mm Omnigrid Rotary Cutter (these are available at Amazon and we have included our affiliate links.) The 21" wide mesh was cut into 10" lengths (same as with a 10" wide mesh). We practiced with the 21" mesh and here's what we came up with! Some mesh does ravel worse than others and you will see this in very light weight mesh with a larger weave pattern. There is always raveling with any style of mesh you use whether it be poly mesh, poly burlap, paper mesh etc. When split down the middle and then cut into 10" squares, there was just too much raveling to use in this manner. We've included our affiliate link if you are interested in purchasing. We placed a screw on the front to hold the wreath. The easel in the image is a tabletop easel available at Amazon.
More of the 10" will be arriving in a few weeks. We never recommend splitting 21" wide mesh to make 10" x 10" ruffles, but we did give this a try since 21" White Snowball mesh is all we have in stock right. This image is a wreath done with the ruffle technique, but instead of using the typical 10" mesh for 10" x 10" ruffles, we used 21" wide mesh.
