Halloween Wreath



I had a night with nothing going on for once and so I decided to tackle a project I have been eying for awhile. I have always wanted to try and make a deco mesch wreath. I decided to start with a Haloween themed one because I would be able to use it sooner then the Christmas ones I have planned. 

The supplies I started with
I started with the larger roll of mesch and started by gathering and tying off on the inner circle and then moved to the outer circle.
This is the wreath after finishing the outer circle. 
I did not take any pictures while adding the orange ribbon or the purple beads, I apologize, I just got so wrapped up in this project I completely forgot.


And this is after I added the orange ribbon and purple beads. I had to hang it on my door for the full effect, however have had to take it down because it is only the end of July.

Craft Time

I love to do crafts, make things instead of buy them, bake from scratch and forget the boxed food. Lately like most people these days have been captured by pinterest. I decide to take a few minutes, ends up being an hour. During one of my quick looks I discovered a post for a spring wreath and decided to give it a try.


The start


One time around... If I would have thought this through a little more, I would have used a green wreath instead of white....


around and around we go


Time for some pretty flowers


Finished product, at least for now. Thinking it needs a bow or maybe a welcome spring sign, we shall see


A view of it on our door. 

Many more projects in the works right now, now to find the time to finish them!
