Deco Mesh Christmas Wreath Using Window Pane Mesh

This wreath combines the pouf and ruffle methods to make a big, beautiful wreath perfect for a front door or over a mantel.
Here are the materials for this wreath:
Measure out about 13" for your pouf.
After measuring your pouf, gather it section in your hand and place it into the next twist.
Continue this around the outer ring, making sure your poufs are as uniform as possible. Move to the inner ring. My blog Under a Texas Sky has the details on doing this.
Take your two 10″ rolls of mesh and place one on top of the other (this way you can cut two at a time). I cut my ruffles to 12" lengths.
To make your ruffle, lay the cut mesh flat on your surface and start to gather the mesh in the middle. You’ll come up with what looks like a bow tie or a butterfly.
Cut your wired ribbon into 13″ lengths. To give it a nice finished look, “chevron” the ends. Insert the ribbons into every twist (this is why you open every twist before adding the next element. We’re really loading them up!). I stack the ribbons on top of each other and insert them both at the same time.
Finally, layer in your embellishments. I glued in some shatterproof Christmas balls, snowflakes, and lots of other Christmas-y things. I topped it off with a sparkly Merry Christmas sign.
I've included a video of me making this wreath as well. It's very detailed in case you need to see how it went as I made it. Merry Christmas!
