Materials You Will Need:

• Mesh ribbon
• Scissors
• Wire cutters
• Floral wire

Instructions:

1. Gather your materials. Make sure you have all of the necessary materials before you begin.

6. Continue wrapping the mesh ribbon. Continue wrapping the mesh ribbon around the wreath frame until the entire frame is covered.

7. Add embellishments. Once the wreath is covered with mesh ribbon, you can add any embellishments you like. Some popular embellishments for mesh wreaths include flowers, ribbons, and bows.
