A wreath is certainly not just for the holidays anymore. In my mind, a wreath is warm and inviting, and it can reflect your personality and the “flavor” of your home. It can serve as décor in a variety of ways: on your front door, on the fireplace mantle, in an office, or even as a fun centerpiece that adds life to your home. I hope you will try to create your own wreath, using these unique ideas and simple instructions. Enjoy it in your own home or give it as a gift to a special friend.

How about a creative way to testify of God’s blessings, and how your family is thriving in His goodness? This wreath is perfect for sharing a family photo, or even as a house warming gift displaying their initials in the center of wreath.
Steps to Creating Wreaths:
- Start with a wire wreath and pull all tinsel wire around wreath straight up.
- Take larger colored mesh fabric and gather together at the bottom and tie twist in place using tinsel wire.
- Make a small loop, gather again, and tie in place using the same tinsel wire.
- Continue this process along the entire outer ring of the wreath.
- Choose a new color of smaller mesh fabric and repeat the same process (steps 1-4) on the inner ring. Gather, tie, loop, and tie again. Weave from the top inner ring to the bottom ring and tie accordingly.
- Work with the mesh fabric until you achieve the desired shape and size.
- Take desired color of tulling or ribbon and fold it accordion-style until you have several loops. Cut and gather in the center. It should look like a bow. Now tie onto the wreath. Repeat the process and fill in any empty space as needed.
- Attach desired embellishments to personalize your wreath.
