What are the different types of deco mesh|when to use them|Hard Working Mom Beginner Wreath Maker

[@sabrinaharris6538]

Thank You so much for taking your time to explain The difference in the meshes. I have done floral wreaths for a lot of years, But in the last few months got into doing mesh wreaths, to say it's been a learning experience is an understatement, I started with DT mesh, it only took 1 time to figure out that wasn't what I should use. I have learned a lot watching your videos, and now you have demystified the different meshes for me. Thank You so much for being such a generous person, and sharing your knowledge with all of us.

I have been making some cross wreaths for cemeteries. What is the best that will hold up in weather and should they be sprayed with something and if so what is the best type of spray. Not brand but just type of spray. Or even if a wreath is going to hang out side. Thank you Lori in advance. You are so educational and the best.

[@craftingwithhwm]

Hello Dorothy! You can use just about any mesh for outdoors because they are made to withstand the weather like Poly Jute, Metallic Deco Mesh, and many others. The only one I wouldn’t recommend for outdoors is Fabric Mesh. I don’t spray my wreaths even if I hang them outdoors because it isn’t necessary but if you would like extra protection then UV spray is a good kind. Thank you for your kind words and please remember to like and subscribe if you haven’t already. Lori

[@judygarcia8133]

Thank you so much for doing this video on what are good and not so good mesh to work with and what you can make with them. I’ve mentioned to you before that I bought 18 inch wreath frames and I’m having a really hard time trying to figure out how many rolls of wreath I need to fill the frame up. I have the Dollar store frame and I have the ones like you have. I bought mesh to go with the video’s I watched you make but I’m racking my brain trying to figure out if I have enough rolls or not. How do you know how many rolls to buy with a frame? After I’m done using these 18 inch frames I’m going with what size you use. Also do you sale like a package material of whatever project your working on? I love so many of the things you make and there so very beautiful.

[@craftingwithhwm]

Hi Judy! You are very welcome and I did respond to your previous comments and answered your questions about using the 18” frame. Hopefully you can go back and read them. For that size frame, you’re going to need 2 1/2 rolls of mesh so you would need 3 rolls if they are 10 yards each which the majority are. I do sell Wreath Kits for the wreaths I make and they include the Work Wreath that come with the ties, mesh, ribbon, and sign. They are all $42. Here is the link to my website and I sell signs, mesh, ribbon, and much more. hardworkingmomstore.com/.

[@loriayres4948]

Lori with the Deco mesh, do you recommend using a spray adhesive before working with that To prevent so much fraying?

[@craftingwithhwm]

Hello Lori. I would recommend using the spray adhesive after putting the mesh on. I usually wait until the end and trim off the frays first and then spray it. Thank you, Lori.

[@KaileyB616]

Hard Working Mom have you tried any other methods to keep it from fraying? I was thinking about taking a wood burner tool and running it along the edge to stop the fraying, but I have no idea if it will work long term.

Hi Jean! All mesh is made to withstand the weather but I would say Metallic Mesh is the best. I don’t seal my wreaths but since it’s going to be for a grave, I would consider spraying it with E6000 Multi-Purpose Spray Adhesive. Thank you for watching, Lori.

[@margierandlebailey]

Lori, even though this information video is two years, I am seeing it for the first time and I am not comfortable with knowing which to use. As a newby, I am trying to learn everything I can. However, I am not real happy with deco mesh. Dollar Tree mesh is a total no-no. I hate the fraying. So I think I am going to focus on grapevines. However I have a customer who wants a military wreath and a college wreath. Do you mind recommending a mesh for these projects?

[@craftingwithhwm]

Hi Margie! I’m glad the video was helpful and as long as you use Craig Bachman mesh, you won’t have very much fraying at all. It doesn’t even compare to Dollar Tree mesh. The ones I would recommend is Metallic Mesh and Poly Jute Mesh. You can purchase it from my website or Trendy Tree and DecoExchange. Here is the link to my website. hardworkingmomstore.com/. Thank you, Lori.

[@craftingwithhwm]

Hello Sheri! Here is a link to a video where I did the candy cane ruffle and it’s very similar to the poof/curl method. kzbin.info/www/bejne/kGbQhautYpKcftE. Most mesh do just fine outdoors and the only one I would be careful with is fabric mesh but even that would work if it’s under a covered area like a porch. I hope that helps. Thank you, Lori.

What mesh would be a good alternative to deco mesh for a carrot wreath? The deco wreath is a nightmare for me. The cost isn't an issue. I'd just like something easier to work with that will ceate the "ruffles" I need.

[@craftingwithhwm]

Hi Tiffany! I would recommend Poly Jute mesh. It’s very different then regular mesh and it’s easy to work with and doesn’t fray very much at all. It’s one of my favorites to work with. I hope that helps. Thank you, Lori.

[@kathynicholson209]

Thank you, Lori! I needed your explanation...you are so easy to understand! I get frustrated with deciding what mesh to order. The mesh Hobby Lobby is selling at Christmas seems so thin & difficult to work with. Will poly mesh be better for wreath if ruffling?

[@craftingwithhwm]

Hello Kathy and you are so welcome. I’m so happy that my videos are easy to understand and it can be very frustrating when buying mesh. I stay away from Hobby Lobby mesh because of the quality and I can get better mesh for the same price at Craft Outlet and Trendy Tree. I would highly recommend those two online websites. As far as ruffling, as long as it’s not Hobby Lobby mesh or Dollar Tree mesh, I can use any of them for ruffling and poly mesh is a good one. I hope that helps. Thank you, Lori.

What is the best mesh to use to make curls?

Lori is it cheaper to buy the 21 inch rolls and cut it now so you’d have the 10” squares?

For making a wreath, I find it hard to use my fingers like I used to be able to due to a few strokes. What methods would be easiest to use using Dollar Tree deco mesh. I find myself getting aggravated at not being able to do it which is why I don't want to spend more money on deco mesh 🙃 Thank you for your video ❤❤

[@craftingwithhwm]

Hi Kimberly! I’m sorry to hear about your strokes and even though I don’t recommend Dollar Tree Mesh, I would recommend the Woodland Ruffle. You curl the edges above 4 times and then ruffle the middle. Use a chip clip to hold the curl on one side while you do the other. I also created a Ruffle Tool for anyone that struggles with hand issues because it doesn’t put strain on your fingers and hands. Here’s the link for the Ruffle Tool and a short video showing how it works. Ruffle Tool. rclsignsandmore.com/products/deco-mesh-ruffle-tool. Video. kzbin.infodwZQBp5XFXE?si=TuStwfDG4GrS_ghH.

Hello Dorothy! If you wanted to make a Woodland Ruffle then you would cut your mesh at 30” to 35” long. I use 18 ties for a 14” wreath frame and end up needing one and a half rolls of mesh that is 10” wide. I hope that helps and excited for you to receive your order. Thank you so much, Lori.

All the places she mentioned also have the good ribbons as well. As far as price, they vary from place to place. Your value mesh can cost as little as 1.54 and can go up from there.

Lol Hmmm...we should Patten a Rotary burner. Would make things so much easier. Lol Thanks for getting back to me. I know you are really busy. Have a good day.

[@craftingwithhwm]

You are so welcome and I sure wish there was a heated rotary cutter cause it would make cutting mesh a breeze lol. If you get one patented then I will be your first customer. Thank you so much, Lori.

Great info. Everyplace you said to buy is on line? I just bought mine at JoAnns . I guess that’s ok until I want to make more:) I’m going to try the waffle wreath? I really like the way you show how to do things. Thank you:)

[@craftingwithhwm]

Thank you, Barbara and I love buying online because it’s the most cost effective. I’m glad that my video helped you and I would love to see your waffle wreath when it’s finished. I have a free craft group on Facebook called “Everyday Craft Dreamers” and would love for you to join. Thank you, Lori.

I bought mesh the other day and it said deco poly mesh. Is that the basic mesh? It was thin and you could see through it. Thank you.

[@craftingwithhwm]

Hello Lynnette! Yes that’s the basic deco mesh and it’s very thin. I only use that kind of mesh if I’m layering two different kinds. I hope that helps. Thank you, Lori.

[@skylite5329]

Craft outlet is the best.

[@craftingwithhwm]

Yes I agree 100% and it’s one of my go to places. Thank you, Lori.

[@61klmartin]

Thank you for the information. I have subscribed to your channel. I can’t see the things you leave at the end. What am I doing wrong

[@craftingwithhwm]

Hello and welcome, there Karen to my channel. You are not doing anything wrong its the way the end screen ends. I always post everything in Community page where is located at my main page you will see the tab above click on it and you will see all my wreaths and post there. Don't forget to like and share. Thank you, Lori.

What’s difference in deco mesh and sewing mesh ? Can sewing mesh be used to make wreaths?

[@craftingwithhwm]

Hi Jean! I’m sorry I’m not sure what you mean my Sewing Mesh unless you’re talking about tulle? Deco Mesh would be better for wreaths because it’s thick and holds its shape. You won’t get that from non Deco Mesh. I hope that makes sense. Thank you, Lori.

[@lindachapman4352]

How do you keep them from fraying?

[@craftingwithhwm]

Hello Linda! All mesh frays but if you purchase good quality mesh then it won’t be as much. You can find great mesh at Craft Outlet, Trendy Tree, and The Wreath Shop. Please remember sharing is caring and to subscribe. Thank you, Lori.

[@craftyattitudezwreathsanda9218]

What about for a filler? Wouldn’t u want to use cheaper mesh in the work form?

[@craftingwithhwm]

Hello there! You can use basic mesh if you would like but I just choose to use the same mesh throughout my wreaths and the prices aren’t that much more for the good quality mesh. I hope that helps. Thank you, Lori.

[@rachelhass7213]

Did you say there was 2 that you need to watch when using. Breathing it in

[@craftingwithhwm]

Hi Rachel! Burlap and Poly Burlap are ones you need to be careful with. Make sure you’re in a well ventilated area and even consider wearing a mask if it bothers you. Thank you for watching, Lori.

[@rachelhass7213]

@@craftingwithhwm Thank you for answering my question. I enjoyed watching you explain the difference between the meshes. Will watch that again. Thank you

Hello Hard Working Mom, Thank You for for sharing so much!!! Many won't bother to take the time to do so. I did not see/hear you talk about Deco Mesh, can you comment on that as well?

[@craftingwithhwm]

Thank you, Carol. All the mesh I went over are all considered deco mesh however there are just many different kinds like Basic Deco Mesh, Poly Jute Deco Mesh and so on. I hope that answers your question and please let me know if you need anything else. Thank you, Lori.

[@clsmith614]

@@craftingwithhwm thanks for the response. I understand now. I'm new to wreathmaking, I did not know that working with mesh causes so much itching. No one mentions that.

[@craftygiftsbycarolyn5035]

Due to budget issues I usually get my mesh from the dollar store. Not the best but what I can afford. Where does that fall into the mesh standards? I know it definitely frayes a lot!!

[@craftingwithhwm]

Dollar Tree mesh will fray a lot and is at the very bottom but it’s also affordable so I totally understand. The less you handle it the less it frays. If you ever were able to afford better mesh then for $2 more, you can order from Craft Outlet. Their mesh is the best. I hope this helps you. Thank you so much, Lori.

[@jimcathygarrett1434]

How long have you been doing Deco craftsmanship? Are you “self taught” thanks?

[@craftingwithhwm]

Hello there! I’ve been doing this for over 20 years but only 10 with Deco Mesh. I am self taught. Thank you for watching, Lori.

[@carolynlaird7820]

You know anything about the ribbon mesh

[@craftingwithhwm]

Hello Carolyn! Yes I have used mesh ribbon before and it’s just like regular mesh but 2.5” wide. You can use it to make bows for your wreaths. Thank you, Lori.

[@carolynlaird7820]

Where can you find it at I have a Hobby Lobby in Michaels up here where I live at and half the time I can't never find the stuff that I'm looking for.

As a learner what do you recommend I start with

[@craftingwithhwm]

Hello Kay! I think the ruffle method is a great one to start with and I would recommend poly jute mesh because it’s easy to work with. Just remember to take it slow and not get discouraged if your first wreath isn’t perfect because the more you do it the easier it will become. I hope that helps and I’m always here to answer questions. Thank you, Lori.
