How to Use Decorative Mesh for Creating Loops and Tubes?

                            

Deco mesh is one of the best craft materials for all your decorative needs. Whether you are making a wreath, a garland or a bow, the beautiful full ruffles and poofs of deco mesh will add life and dimension to any project.

Mesh comes in a variety of colors to match any project. It is ideal to find a reliable wedding and craft products supplier for buying ribbons, deco mesh, fabrics, chair covers, tablecloths, flower petals, and canvas ribbon at wholesale prices. Below, I’m going to share some amazing ways to use deco mesh in your DIY project.

Creating Loops with Decorative Mesh

                                      

  • Loops on Wire Wreath

Loops can be used to decorate multiple types of wreaths, creating full, fluffy décor that can be customized for any holiday or event.

  • Cut several pieces of pipe cleaner about four inches long. It is best if the pipe cleaner is close to the same color of the floral mesh you are using.
  • For making this, twist pipe cleaners randomly around the wreath. After that, pinch up the end of the mesh and secure it by twisting one of the pipe cleaners for holding it to the wire.
  • Then create a loop in the mesh and pinch it again. Wrap another pipe cleaner around it to hold it in place and continue around the wreath in a zig-zag pattern.
  • For keeping the mesh from shifting, be sure to wrap one of the pipe cleaners around the cross wires of the wreath.
  • And when the wreath is filled in, twist off the last section and cut with scissors.

 

  • Loops on Foam Wreaths

You can make both smooth, extruded foam tube wreaths and crunch cell structure wreaths. They both work great to build decorative mesh wreath in combination with U-shaped floral pins.

  • Begin by gathering the end of the mesh and pressing a floral pin into the foam to hold it down.
  • As with the wire wreath, create a loop and pinch it to complete the wreath. And also secure it to the foam with another floral pin.
  • Continue around the foam wreath in a zig-zag pattern and be sure to move around to the inside and outside areas of the ring and just the top. This way the foam will be completely covered and not peek through.
  • After completing the wreath, you can add in mesh ribbons, ornaments, flowers, or other embellishments to finish it off.
  • Creating Tubes with Decorative Mesh

Mesh tubes are a great way to decorate foam balls and wreaths. Since the mesh blends easily and holds its shape, the tube will not flatten or sag. It can also be used to decorate one of the foam wreath shapes.

  • For making this, cut a square of mesh and roll it into a tube.
  • Then stick a floral pin down into the center of the tube and press into the foam.
  • Repeat this process around the entire foam ball and keep pins fairly close together, and also rotate their direction with each other.
  • As the ball fills in, the tubes will help each other stay sticking out.
  • Balls can be made in solid or mixed colors. Hang them over tables or as part of backdrops for weddings or parties.

Conclusion:

These are some outstanding ways to use decorative mesh in your DIY craft projects. You can find a wholesale wedding and craft product supplier for buying deco mesh, tulle fabric, organza fabric, table runners, chair covers, and ribbons from the sale.
