4. Cut the tulle into 24" L strips. Fold the strip in half, then tie them in all the open areas of the wreath.
5. Cut the ribbon into 15" L strips. Tie them where you see fit.
6. Use the scissors to give the wreath a trim if you see areas that are uneven.
To make this into an Easter-themed wreath, tie a small stuffed bunny to the wreath. Avoid gluing it so that you can remove the bunny at any time. Write "Hoppy Easter" using a chalk ink marker on a wooden chalkboard tag and tie it to the top inside of the wreath. If you cannot find a wooden tag, you can create a paper tag or use another item.
7. Give your wreath a good fluffing and proudly display in an area of your home.

ReplyDeletethe diagram instructions are awesome!
ReplyDeleteThis is my first wreath to make and I am trying to do this one but the mesh keeps fraying when I cut it and especially after I tie it to the form. Do you have any tips to help me with this?
ReplyDeleteYes the mesh will fray. You can use cheap hairspray on the ends to help the fraying or I have seen in videos people use a spray adhesive on the wreaths after they are done to help with the fraying. The more wreaths you make, the more you will understand the mesh. Also if you use a good quality mesh (not from the dollar store) it will fray less. Good luck with your wreath!!
