Great ideas...I don't like the fraying of Dollar Tree mesh so I use the better 10 inch. ...same technique. Have subscribed because you have great ideas!.

[@DavesWreaths]

Hi Anne...thank you so much for watching and for subscribing. I'm so happy to hear you like some of my ideas on here. Yes, I agree, the DT mesh does fray a lot and I have started using better mesh these days. LOL. But still go back to DT mesh from time to time to show how you can make a wreath inexpensively. Take care.

[@elliethunderbay8360]

Can you use 10" or 21"deco mesh instead of 6"? If so what is the method? I am brand new to wreath making and am very much enjoying your tutorials. Thanks Ellie

[@DavesWreaths]

Hi Ellie. Welcome to the wonderful world of wreath making. You can use 10" and 21" to make wreaths. The methods I love used those lengths are the ruffle method and the poof/pouf method. You can see those videos on my channel as well. Hope that helps.

[@kims-pa5806]

Hi Dave love your video's I have learned so much. My husband created a wooden slotted piece to hold my rolled mesh. Unfortunately there is no place for me to add a photo. If you are interested in seeing it let me know how to get a picture to you.

[@DavesWreaths]

Hi Kim...that is such a clever idea to hold your mesh. Smart husband of yours. Yes, I would love to see a picture of that. You can just click on the Facebook or Instagram logos on my main page (at the top right) and you can post pictures there. Thanks so much.

[@wenckenpain1518]

I'm going to try this thanks for such clear instructions x could you do this with mixed colours?

Hi Ginger. Yes, a bow and some more ribbons on there would be amazing. I did this video to show how to make a base wreath you can dress up with anything you want. I do have bow tutorials on my channel that you can watch and create to add to your wreath. Thanks so much.

[@DavesWreaths]

Hi Patricia...thank you so very much for watching and for the kind words. For the shadow box, I would use pipe cleaners and glue them to the back side of the shadow box and then you can attach it to the wreath form. Makes sense? Hope that helps.

[@mariaiturbe1899]

Hi Dave; I am enjoying your tutorials and trying to learn. I have a question: for the curly 6 in mesh hoy many yards do you need in total. I know you mentioned 6 rolls, how many yards does each roll has?

[@DavesWreaths]

Hi Maria. Thank you so much for watching and for the great comment and question. Sorry, I missed adding that information in the video. Each roll is 5yds in length. So for this particular wreath, it's 30yds in total of deco mesh that I used. Hope that helps and take care.

[@theryanway9727]

What do you put on the back to hang them? I love your videos.

[@DavesWreaths]

Hi there...thank you so much for watching and for the great comment. Normally if it's a wire wrath frame, I just hang the hook off the wire. If you wish to add something extra, you can always just attach a pipe cleaner or ribbon to the wire at the back and then hang the wreath off of that. It all depends if you finish off the back of your wreath as well. If I finish mine, I will just add a pipe cleaner to hang it as well. Hope that helps. 😊

[@lynnswietlicki6149]

The video from October 22, 2021 shows you working with an 18-inch frame with 6 sections & 4 round bars. Where did you purchase that frame? Can you send a link? Thank you in advance.

[@MariaVictoria-lu9ti]

How do you keep the Deco mesh from fraying thanks for sharing 👍

[@DavesWreaths]

Hi Maria...thank you for watching and for the great question. Deco mesh has a tendency to fray, that is the "nature of the beast". A couple of ways you can reduce the fraying is to 1) use a burning tool to cut the mesh and 2) use methods that will hide the fraying edges. This curly method reduces the fraying but doesn't eliminate it altogether. I find a better quality deco mesh, like poly mesh, can be less tolerant to fraying as well. Hope that helps a bit. Take care and thanks again.

How to make a 3 color wreath with a basketball in the center

[@samanthasinclair3432]

I’ve been searching everywhere for deco mesh and having a hard time finding it … I have came across it on Amazon and it’s 4 rolls 10 inches wide by 30 feet long for $23… I know you mentioned you needed 6 rolls. Just wondering how long your rolls are because I can’t really justify spending that much on deco mesh if 4 rolls won’t do it. ThNk you.

[@DavesWreaths]

Hi Samantha...I am sorry you are having such a hard time finding the deco mesh. I know sometimes it's not easy accessible to some and even myself from time to time. For this video and this wreath, I did use the six rolls....that was because I do like a full wreath. You can definitely use less, it will just be a little less full than the one that appears in the video. Each of the rolls was 5 yards in length, so in total that is 30 yards for all six or 90ft. You can try Dollar Tree and Michael's for deco mesh and also Facebook Marketplace or in the Groups there as well. They sometimes have "destash" groups where people unload their supplies they no longer need for really cheap. I hope that helps and I wish you luck in your search. Take care.

[@kathyquinn9193]

Dave need assistance. I have 14 inch wire wreath. Want to use 9inch red, white, blue deco mesh. I never did this. What length do I make the decos, & which wires do I use, please assist, thanks.

[@DavesWreaths]

Hi Kathy, if you are going to be making the curly method like this wreath...is it 9" or 10" deco mesh? I haven't seen 9" deco mesh before. I would probably cut the pieces into squares and then roll them into little tubes, like in the video here, and make your bundles. You could probably do with three pieces of deco mesh in each bundle and attach the bundles on the middle two wires. Hope that helps. 😊

[@barbaracooper8214]

I know this is an old video but what size mesh did you use

[@DavesWreaths]

Hi Barbara. At that time, I believe the mesh from the Dollar Tree was 5"x5yrds. Thank you.

[@barbaracooper8214]

Thanks for responding

[@RosieP1000]

Cam I use 10-inch mesh for this project?

[@DavesWreaths]

Hi Rosetta..yes you can, just note that the loops will be longer and the wreath would end up wider than you see in my video. But yes, you totally can use the 10" mesh. Take care.

[@Robin-g3c]

I love your channel and would like to ask u question privately, can I do that?

[@DavesWreaths]

Hi there, yes you can do that. You can send me a message through Instagram, Facebook or the email on my channel. Thanks.

Was it 5 inch mesh,?

This was using 6" deco mesh from the Dollar Tree. Thanks.

[@PhyllisWilson1950]

No fraying? Nice. How?

[@DavesWreaths]

Hi Phyllis...it does fray a little bit to be honest, but not overly much once it's all in place. I don't really do anything other than cut off the fraying bits that do happen. :)

[@christinelardner3371]

Hi Dave, have you tried this method with 10" deco mesh?

[@DavesWreaths]

Hi Christine...thank you so much for watching the video and for your question. Yes, I have used 10" deco mesh with the curly method. The curls are a longer and I used a little less deco mesh than what I used with the 6" deco mesh. It does come out quite large...if that is the look you are going for. Hope that helps.

[@christinelardner3371]

@@DavesWreaths Thanks Dave, yes I assumed it would be much bigger. I'll have to play around with it. I really appreciate your tutorials on different methods.. it helps a lot :)

[@dwisecup51]

You don't tell what size mesh. 10 or 6 inch. Kinda critical.

[@DavesWreaths]

Hi there...thank you so much for watching and for leaving a comment. There was no size mentioned as you can use either the 6" or the 10" deco mesh with this method. The choice is yours which size mesh and colour you'd like to use. The same method applies to both sizes. Thanks again and have a great day.

[@jerib4514]

i ordered deco mesh on amazon but it is more like burlap, what should i look for

[@DavesWreaths]

Hi there, if you look for Poly Deco Mesh that should get you the same style that I'm using in this video. You can also find it with metallic strips in it as well. You could try Etsy as well, they would have deco mesh on there. Hope that helps.

[@eviepeavey6052]

I am not getting good coverage with only 5 bundles. There is too much space between my bundles. I had to add extra bundles to make it look better. So what am I doing wrong????😢😢😢😢😢

[@DavesWreaths]

Hi there, I'm sorry you're having issues making your wreath. It's a little hard to see what is going on with your wreath as I don't have a picture, but are you using a 14" wired frame? This one in the video is a 14" wired frame with the five bundles in each section, with one at the cross bars. In total there should be 36 bundles on the wreath frame. Each bundle has 4 pieces of deco mesh. In the end there is 144 pieces of deco mesh cut and then put into bundles. If there is still space, then you can always add another piece of deco mesh to your bundles. I'm not sure why there isn't coverage for yours, this is the method that I used for this wreath, and many others, and the coverage is as you see in the video. I hope this helps a bit. If you have anything else, please let me know and I will try to answer your questions. Thank you 😊

[@DixieDevil78]

[@jerib4514]

another question if you do not mind? i ordered some other deco mesh but it is10 inches not the size you are showing. Will it work

[@DavesWreaths]

Hi there, yes it would work with this method, the curls will be a lot longer than shown in the video. There is other methods, like the Ruffle Method or Folded Ruffle Method that you could use with your 10" deco mesh. Those would work really well.
