Mesh Wreath by the Old Time Pottery.
This is what a "Puff" Wreath looks like:
And here are the instructions I wrote from the video:
Wire form 24”
1 roll of 21”deco mesh (10 yards)
1 roll of deco mesh 10”for accent color
5 yards of 2 ½ inches ribbon for a bow (or bows)
Other embellishments as needed
18 pipe cleaners, folded in half
Tie the pipe cleaners to the inside ring at the cross bars
Now tie more pipe cleaners to the outside ring about halfway
between the cross bars. You may want to use a glue gun to keep them from
sliding.
Start with a 3-4 inches tail, bunching together the deco
mesh starting in the inside ring, continue bunching up the mesh at about 12
inches and tie it to the next pipe cleaner. Tie them together and fluff it up.
Continue on till the first pipe cleaner, tie it. Do not cut.
Start now on the outside ring the same way. End at the cross
over pipe cleaner in the outer ring. Cut a 3-4 inches tail.
Now do the same with your accent mesh, gathering a tail and
puff at every 6”. Start on the center ring attaching it to the same pipe
cleaner. Continue alternating inside and outside ring going around twice.
Fluff up the puffs and hide the tails by pulling thru the
back and up and down the ring.
Make sure all the pipe cleaners are secured and use them to
attach your embellishments or turn them to the back and cut it.
There is also a "Curly" wreath which instructions were already on a PDF file and I am attaching here:
Miss Kopy Kat Blog - how-to-make-curly-deco-mesh-wreath
She uses the entire width of a 21" roll of mesh and 4 colors.
A different version (on a very long and boring video) is done with 10"rolls and 3 colors. They call it "Ruffled"Wreath. This one is from UnderATexasSky.com. Here is the short version of the instructions:
Uses 3 - 10 inches rolls
2 of the same ribbon width, one roll solid another with a design.
Cut 12 inches from each mesh. (12 cuts of each color)
Gather the pieces in the middle and attach it to the pipe
cleaners alternating the colors.
Starting again from the beginning, use the same pipe cleaner
opened (do not add on top of a twisted pipe cleaner)
Repeat with the 3rd color.
Start all over again in the inside ring
Cut ribbons to about 12 inches, dove tail the ends, scrunch in
the middle and attach it to the pipe cleaner. Do the same to another ribbon and
attach it on top of the previous ribbon on a different direction.
Now attach any embellishments, ornaments etc.
Here is one I made:
It came out very pretty but I did not like working with the mesh as much as I thought I would. It frays too much!
I also made a Santa Claus head and a swag. Here they are:
Another easy wreath I found was made with a wire hanger and tule instead of mesh. The video is by Nica Wolmack and she gives good instructions but I find it easier to follow written directions.
I will try to write up instructions for this one also.
