Holiday and Seasonal Deco Mesh Craft Projects

Once you’ve made one deco mesh ribbon wreath, you’ve pretty much got the process down and can make any number of wreaths. You can do this by simply changing the colors of the mesh ribbon and trims you want to add.

Because I feel that there is elegance in simplicity, I prefer wreaths that aren’t too busy. Deco mesh ribbon is so beautiful on its own, and when too much is added, the wreath becomes gaudy rather than exquisite.

In this article, you’ll find wreaths and other crafts that are perfect for the following holidays, seasons, and celebrations:

Halloween
Autumn and Thanksgiving
Christmas
Valentine’s Day
Spring, Easter, and St. Pat’s Day
Summer and July 4th
Showers and Weddings

Every project in this article includes a link to the tutorial that will show you how to make it.

Halloween

1. Halloween Ghosts

These cute Halloween ghosts are made simply using balloons, white deco mesh ribbons, and black masks. Halloween isn't the same without having a few ghosts around! You'll find the quick and easy instructions for this project at Mardi Gras Outlet.

Another burlap wreath to convey an autumnal feeling, but I really think this one could work any time of year. You'll find it an easy project to make by following the tutorial at Decorchick.

I think a huge white wreath, centered with a large pillar candle, would make an elegant wedding table decoration.
