I decided to do a little something different with deco mesh and give wreaths a break for a bit. Check out the pics of my candy corn tree! I can't wait to make some Christmas creations using this technique as well! Wouldn't this also look great at a birthday party in cute colors and embellished with some themed items? The possibilites are endless.
Here is a pic of some of the supplies you will need. Assorted deco mesh (3.5 inches wide), floral pins, Diva scissors, and (not shown) a 4 7/8 x 17 7/8 styrofoam cone.
I started at the top and continued to loop and pin going round and round. When I was ready to change colors, I pinned the last loop and cut the deco mesh, then pinned the next color and continued with the loops.
I was curious what you do when you get to the bottom...do you just pin a row around the bottom of the cone or stop just above the bottom? Also, can you post a picture of your Christmas one when you do it? I am interested in trying this and would like to see how yours turns out as well!
Hey Angela!
ReplyDeleteI was wondering how did you start the layers? Did you cut the deco mesh and start over using the same concept minus the fold over at the top?
