  • 10” burlap deco mesh
  • Zip ties
  • Scissors
  • Wire cutters
  • Fall ribbon (four coordinating colors)
  • Fall centerpiece “thankful” sign

How to make a fall deco mesh wreath

1. Cut your ribbons

First, prep your 4 coordinating fall ribbons. 

For each ribbon type, cut 9 pieces, 13” long. Dovetail the ends as well. 

2. Create deco mesh poofs

Next, the deco mesh!

Begin working around the top ring, securing the end of the deco mesh between two twist ties. Move around the wreath, measuring 10” poofs, then securing between twist ties for each poof. 

Repeat these steps around the bottom ring, then a second layer around the bottom for more coverage.

Trim the deco mesh end, feeding the final piece underneath the wreath and securing it to the frame with a zip tie for a finished look. 

3. Attach season sign

To attach your “thankful” sign, use a staple gun to attach florist wire to all four corners, adding a bit of hot glue over each staple. 

Attach your sign to the top ring of your wreath base, securing it in all four corners. 

4. Add ribbon

You’ll have two different ribbon combinations, each with a 1 ½’ ribbon placed over a 2” inch ribbon. 

Take your first ribbon combo, find the center point, and hold. Twist this mark between two pine ties in the top layer of your wreath. Separate the ribbons into an “x.”

Using the same technique, continue working around the wreath, alternating ribbon combinations. 

Repeat these steps around the bottom ring of the wreath. Then, step back and begin to shape or trim ribbon tails as needed. 

5. Integrate coordinating greenery

For greenery, add clippings of fern with hot glue, working around the outer edge of your wreath. Remember, what you do to one side, do to the other. 

Repeat this around the center ring using smaller pieces. 

6. Add faux florals 

Create a triangle of evenly-spaced turquoise roses throughout your design, securing them with hot glue. 

Then, add orange dahlias in between the established roses. 

7. Finish your fall deco mesh wreath with texture

To finish your thankful wreath, add small sprigs of White Queen Anne’s evenly throughout your design. 

This will give your wreath that final bit of texture and lightness.

    Can I make this using a pine evergreen wreath? If so, will there be any changes in construction?
