Episode 58: Angela's Basic Wreath Formula for Newbies

A lot of newbies have said that they are overwhelmed and don't know where to start or what to buy in order to make a fabulous deco mesh wreath.  But, they know the want to MAKE one.  So, I've put together my Basic Wreath Formula.  It's simple.  Five supplies, with one optional component.  Done.

Supply List:

1.  Wreath Base--Work wreath, plain Christmas wreath, or a wire floral form with pipe cleaners
2.  One 21" x 10 yard roll of deco mesh
3.  10-15 yards of ribbon for wreath loops and a wreath bow.  Wire ribbon is best.
(Optional):  10 yards of deco flex tubing
4.  Embellishments--for example, a Dollar Tree sleeve of ornaments
5.  Picks--3 to 5

And Ta-Da!  You have yourself a fabulous wreath for about $30 that people are charging $60-$90 for in the stores.  Here's the Video:
