So you absolutely had to expect that I was going to continue the trend for St. Patricks Day.
Especially with my orange front door?
All I have to do is add a little green and white and Im Irish holiday ready!
I decided to make a St. Patricks Day deco mesh wreath in a few shades of green and white.
I bought the mesh in a kit and knew that I wanted something on my door for the holiday.
I feel like this shows the world that my house is really leprechaun friendly.
Or that I listen to a lot of House of Pain.
Either way, Im excited to show you how to make this wreath.
St. Patricks Day Mesh Wreath
Youre going to make this project in four easy steps.
Youre going to cut the mesh, then cut the pipe cleaners.
Then youre going to attach the mesh to the wire form.
The hat and mustache are an optional step four, but I really think it adds something.
you’ve got the option to definitely use 10 mesh for this project.
There was a little bit left over from each of the colors.
With the lengths they come in, its nearly impossible tonothave some left over.
Are you ready to make this St. Patricks deco mesh wreath?
Heres how its done below!
Cut several pieces of the various greens and the white all at once.
However, you’ve got the option to definitely use scissors.
The rotary just sped up the process.
Then I add as needed.
Cut the Pipe Cleaners
Grab the package of pipe cleaners and cut each one into four pieces.
Honestly, you’ve got the option to use any color pipe cleaners you wont see them.
I usually make a run at coordinate with one of the colors in my wreath or use white.
Just cut enough pipe cleaners to get you started.
Attach the Mesh to the Wreath Form
The process of attaching the mesh is really easy.
Youll start with a mesh piece and roll it into a tube.
It should be relatively tight you’ve got the option to see the image below.
Hold the tube in one of your hands and pinch and twist between your fingers.
Wrap this tube around any spot on the wreath form.
I recommend starting anywhere on the form, but towards the outside.
And thats how its done!
This is what your wreath will look like as you add the curls.
It will start to get very full:
And for reference, heres how it looks from the back.
you’re free to see how randomly I attached the tubes.
Continue working your way around the wreath form, adding tubes of mesh and securing them with pipe cleaners.
Usually I like to work from the center out, but it doesnt really matter.
you might start anywhere and just keep adding tubes.
Notice where the sparse parts are and add mesh to fill in.
Finish the wreath by wrapping all the way around, and your St. Patricks Day wreath is complete.
THEN comes the hat and mustache.
Heres what youre going to do.
you’re free to use a Sharpie or pen.
Cut the hat and the mustache out.
Hot glue both the hat and the orange mustache directly to the mesh on the wreath.
Hot glue in several areas so it stays attached.
Let cool and youre finished and ready to hang.
Find a special place on your door or wall to place for the spring season!
