Halloween deco mesh wreath idea - Dollar Tree finds - How to make tutorial - Easy and inexpensive

Look at this super cute Halloween wreath!!

I just love Dollar Tree for holiday signs and crafting supplies. I recently found 18" wreath frames!! Usually they only sell 14" so I was super excited. 

Supplies

Deco mesh (5.5")

Wreath form (18")

Ribbon

Sign 

Chenille stems/sticks or pipe cleaners

Wire cutters

Scissors

Ruler

Ribbon from Michael's. 2 1/2" black glitter and orange and black stripes. 1 1/2" black ribbon. 

Frame, sign, and deco mesh from Dollar Tree.

This black and white striped mesh was found in Christmas and not Halloween. 

I usually roll the mesh like on the Halloween table centerpiece and summer wreath I made. This time I cut the mesh 17" long and made little butterfly bunches. 

Roll ends and flip over.

Bunch together in the center.

Cut chenille stems 4" or longer if you want and secure in the middle.

See! It looks like a butterfly. 

Now make a bunch!

I made 48 total.

I attached all the chenille stems on the center ring in each section.

The sign was thin so I used a piece of wood attached with hot glue before stapling the chenille stems. I attached 3 on the back of the sign and added a little hot glue to secure the staple.

I removed the rope hanger and used the chenille stems to secure the sign to the metal wreath form.

6' loops with a 5' tail. I made loops and twisted in the middle before making my next loop. 

I unfortunately don't have great pics of the bow because that black glitter was EVERYWHERE!!! 

It's pretty but pretty messy. 

Dovetail cut on the ends of each ribbon.

Easy mesh tube bow tutorial - gift wrapping idea - purple themed package with Dollar Tree finds

I love the tube mesh for wreaths but it's also great for making bows. 

Here's a quick way to make a super cute bow with mesh tubing and curling ribbon. 

Video tutorial

Mesh tubing, curling ribbon, and matching wrapping paper all purchased at Dollar Tree.

46" mesh tube

56" curling ribbon

Make loops with the mesh tubing.

Make loops with the curling ribbon and add to the mesh ribbon. 

Start with the mesh tubing and curling ribbon tied around the gift and leave the ends long enough to attach the bow.

I like to attach three bunches of mesh tubing and curling ribbon.

Tie the first bunch with both the mesh and curling ribbon. 

Tie the second bunch with both the mesh and curling ribbon across the first bunch making an X.

Tie the third bunch with just the curling ribbon and in the same direction as the first bunch attached.

Trim any longer pieces, curl the ribbon, and adjust until you like it.

Supplies

Deco mesh (5.5")

Mesh tubing

Wreath form (14")

Sign (optional)

Chenille stems/sticks or pipe cleaners

Wire cutters

Scissors

Ruler

14" wreath form from Dollar Tree.

Cut mesh into 10" long pieces.

I used white, pink, hot pink, and yellow.

Use chenille stems/sticks or pipe cleaners to attach mesh to the wreath form.

Cut chenille stems 4" or longer if you want.

Roll deco mesh and pinch in the middle.

I used four colors of mesh but only three colors for each little bunch and made random color combos. 

I made 36 total.

I started with 4 bunches but it didn't look full enough so I added two more.

I attached chenille stems on the two inside rings and alternated every other one.

Mesh tubing looped three times.

I wanted the green on the sign to be a little brighter to match the mesh tubing.

Mod Podge and green glitter added to the leaves.

Attached the sign with chenille stems. I might add some hot glue to secure it a little more.
