Decoration mesh or deco mesh is a kind of colorful and bendable ribbon made of netting material. Because it is so flexible and can be bought in many different colors, decorative gauze is a popular type of ribbon that is indispensable for many types of craft projects. Decorative mesh can be used, for example, to make colorful wreaths for the holidays or the different seasons.

To step

Method 1 of 3: Make a single color wreath

1. Add other colors. Use decorative mesh in other colors to fill in the gaps in your wreath. A three or four color wreath usually looks best, but you can use more or less depending on the look you want to create.
   • You can also close the holes with a ribbon of a color you've already used for your wreath.
   • Add more layers using the same method you used for the first two layers.
2. Glue other decorations to the wreath. Use a hot glue gun to stick heavy decorations to the frame as ornaments. You can use craft glue to add lighter decorations such as feathers or foam letters, which you can stick to the frame or ribbon itself.

Method 3 of 3: Make curly decorative mesh

1. Let your decorative mesh curl. Roll out a piece of decorative mesh and curl it in the meantime to make a roll. The roll should have a diameter of 23-25 ​​centimeters. Cut the decorative mesh to separate the curl from the rest of the ribbon.
   • You will need about 72 separate curls of decorative mesh to make a full wreath. However, if you want a less full wreath, you can use 36 to 54 curls.
   • For this craft project you will need at least two rolls of decorative mesh 10 meters long and 32 centimeters wide. You can use more ribbon if you want more colors.
2. Pull the curls apart. Bend and shift the curls so that half is diagonally inward and the other half is diagonally outward. The end result should be a full wreath without a hole in the center and covering the entire frame.
