So much goes on daily with our family that I want a way to capture it in words and for all of our family and friends to be able to follow along with us on this wild, amazing journey!

making a mesh wreath
The top three pictures are the items you need to make this wreath. The wreath is a 16in wreath. Leave the paper on the straw wreath. Unroll the mesh fabric but don't cut it. You will use it all. After unrolling it, take about as much as I have in the picture below and pin it on the wreath just as is. the pins stick nicely in the wreath.
Now that the beginning of the mesh is sevure on the wreath, you are going to take pieces about this long, bunch it up, and pin it on the wreath. You will need to rotate bunching and pinning from towards the inside of the wreath to the "top" of the wreath. dont worry that the back fo the wreath isnt covered. You will not see that part of the wreath once it is hanging on the door. (you may have to unpin and repin until you get the hang of it but it is super simple!)
This is what one "bunch" looks like!
After you get going, it will start looking like this!
Once you are finished it will look like this! You can add whatever you'd like to it once it is done. I attached my stuff using a hot glue gun but be super careful, it does melt the mesh but you can't tell once the item is on!
