How to Make a 21in Deco Mesh Awareness Ribbon Wreath |One Roll of Mesh

[Music] hey I'm Lori welcome to my Channel today we're going to be doing something really fun with 21in deco mesh so I'm going to zoom down and we'll get started so what we're going to do is we're going to take this mesh and we're going to make awareness ribbons so this is a super easy method to do this is a fun method to do and I want to show you something that's going to help make it easier so you're going to need a the middle part of a 21 in mesh and what you're going to do is you're going to take it and you're going to wrap it around the roll and you're just going to go one two three when you get to three you're going to take your mesh cutter and just go along okay all right and then you're going to pull that out and then you're just going to fold it over so when you're folding it over make sure you have that edge on the inside okay so this is an awareness ribbon okay so you have the curve up here and then the curls down here and what you do is you take it you go to your wreath frame so this is a work wreath you put it down and you're going to put a second one on top of it going the opposite direction so let's do that one more time and then I'll show you a different way to do it one two three okay take your rotary cutter and just go right along that line pull it out make sure you know where that little cut Edge is fold it over just like that so see I have my cut Edge right in there isn't that fun then you go back to your wreath form you open it up and you see how you put it the opposite way okay you can also put it going sideways so either way up and down or sideways so up and down is going to have more height and sideways is going to have less height but more fullness around the sides okay so I want to show you again but a different way okay so with this way with this way you're just going to cut your mesh at 10 in just like that okay and then you just curl it lift it tuck that little piece in and there you have your awareness ribbon I find it easier to kind of put these on as I'm going so that's what I'm going to do and we're going to go sideways I've done a lot of and down but I think it's fun to do sideways too there we go Tu that piece in and then right on top going the opposite direction so we had the we had the poof here and here so they're opposite you see how nice and full that is okay you can also take your cut pieces and use your roll so just roll it around pull it out so exact same process it just depends on how you like to do it so if you have trouble with your hands this roll can make a big difference okay all right then we're going to go down so we'll start with the poof over here we'll place it down get another one okay just like that pull it out fold it over tuck that in it's naturally going to want to come out you just tuck it back in then go you'll put the poof on one side and the curl on the other there see how pretty that is okay so I'm going to keep doing that so I'll keep cutting them and putting them on and then when we get to the top I'll show you but it's going to be the exact same process oh one thing I will say is you can also take your tool put in the one that you made make the second one okay place it in then pull out the whole thing and put it down at once just like this so if you want to do it individually that works and if you don't you can also do it like this if you use a dollar tree wreath frame then you would just put the ties on yourself 10 on the bottom eight on the [Music] top okay so we have the bottom done look how pretty that is so now we're going to open up the top and we're going to do the exact same process on the top okay okay so you just take one so if you're curling it without using the roll it's best to curl it kind of on the ends on the edges because the center will basically follow the edges I love to do it with a mesh like this with the stripes because I feel like it really kind of shows the stripes off better there we go okay see how we put one with the poof one with the curls poof curls okay and we're just going to go go to the top place it down and you'll see it'll automatically spread out to cover so both the top and the bottom will cover that Center so you won't see the ring okay so I'm going to finish this up and then we'll see what it looks like okay the whole thing is done now this is beautiful this is one roll of mesh so with the 21 in mesh of course you're going to get a lot of coverage so you really don't need two rolls one roll works great you might see a couple little places but all you have to do is kind of move the mesh around and that'll take care of it now we haven't added ribbons or anything on it so that helps as well but how pretty is that isn't that beautiful you can see all the little curls and the little poofs so 10 in 36 pieces two in each tie there's 18 ties okay so now that it is completely done I'm going to go ahead and add some ribbons to it and a sign so I pulled out this is the ribbon I want to use it has little flowers on it has black and pink so I pulled got a couple of sign options I really like this one and I like these two so this one's happy Mother's Day happy Mother's Day and then home sweet home I kind of wanted to see which one would look best with the mesh that one looks real pretty yep I like that one I think I like this one but these would also work okay so I think we're going to do home sweet home but you could easily do a Mother's Day with this okay the ribbons we're going to be using of course this one and then a light pink I also want to bring in a bright pink and some purple so I'm going to cut these at 12 in just using my my ribbon comb okay so I'll just go to the 12 in Mark and I want nine of them so nine of each combination so I do want to dovetail these for the nice little look it gives so all I do is take one side fold it up and cut up towards the edge same thing on the other side and it just gives that nice little look okay [Music] okay so we're just going to take our ribbon Tails two at a time I'm just going to fold them in half find the center pinch and then just kind of run my hand under it okay so that has wire under it so it's going to help it just kind of stand up more on the wreath then I'm going to put it in and I'm just going to tuck the little pieces of the ties in so you won't really notice them okay and then we'll go on to the next one I'm going to going to alternate all the way around on the top and the bottom you can also so clip off the tie and tuck it under right let's do one more and then I'll speed through this on the bottom I tend to kind of keep them together especially until I get the top done and then I can spread them out if I want to okay so I'll finish the rest and then we'll get started on [Music] top okay so I'm going to start on the top [Music] on the top I'll spread the ribbons out so we can see the pattern a little better there we go [Music] okay we've gotten all the way around look how pretty that ribbon is so it's going to really pop when we get our sign in here because then that's going to pull all of the ribbons together okay so you can see what it would look like with the other signs very pretty okay so I'm just going to pop a hole in the bottom and in the top with a metal hole punch this works a lot better for metal signs and then some 26 gauge wire I cut about 20 in or so all right I'll just put it right through the hole and then I kind of double it up by meeting the ends and I twist it right where the sign is that way the wire won't move okay I like to use these plastic weaving needles to put the wire in so I just load it on like I'm going to sew something and I can go right down through the mesh so I can just push down through the mesh right to the other side of the frame and then I just twist it around the frame several times until I feel it's secure and then I'll trim it off but it's much faster to do it this way with the weaving needle okay let's do the other side see how well that side coordinates with that ribbon okay there we go right down through the mesh see there it is and I just tie it to whichever frame is easier to get to so for me it's this middle piece you want your sign to kind of float on top without smashing any of the mesh okay here we go all right then we can kind of straighten up any ribbons that we need to make sure they're not covering our side oh that's pretty okay it's really easy to hide this wire so that's why I like it so much all right let's take a look at it all right there we go look how pretty that is is't that a fun method all right I hope you enjoyed this let me know what you think and make sure to like And subscribe and hit the Bell icon so you know when we're uploading new content and when we're going live
