Supplies:

* 24 – 20” pieces of 10” wide deco mesh
* 24 – 8” pieces of 2.5” wired lemon ribbon
* 24 – 8” pieces of 2.5” wired green ribbon
* 24 – 8” pieces of 1.5” wired black and white checked ribbon
* 24 – 8” pieces of 1.5” wired yellow polka dot ribbon
* 14” wire wreath form
* Bowdabra® Bow Wire
* Large Bowdabra®

Instructions:

First, make the ribbon bundles.

Next, cut 24 pieces of deco mesh, 20 inches each.

Then,  cut four different ribbons, 2 1/2″ and 1 1/2″ wide, 8 inches long.

Now, cut a length of Bowdabra bow wire, fold it in half, and place it in the Bowdabra.  You will have a loop on one side and two loose wires on the other side.

Next, fold the deco mesh pieces on both sides, then gather in the middle and scrunch into the Bowdabra. Now add the ribbon pieces.

Scrunch everything down, thread the loose wires through the loops, and pull tight.  Remove from the Bowdabra, and you have one bundle complete.

Repeat making bundles until you have 24 bundles. Now, use the excess bow wire to attach the bundles to the wire wreath base, alternating with the top two bars.

Fluff your beautiful deco mesh wreath all around.
