29 Clever Craft Ideas Using Deco Mesh
Loraine loves arts and crafts and used to volunteer at an elementary art class. She loves sharing fun and easy craft tutorials.
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 the link to the tutorial that will show you how to make it.

These cute Halloween ghosts are made simply using balloons, white deco mesh ribbon, 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.
