Yes you can! You can make a cardboard or wire coat hanger wreath. Here is how!

Just use odd bits of string or ribbon to hold together.

You can create garlands by using some twine to tie them at your desired spacing. Ideally it goes a lot easy with pipe cleaners but I don't see why you couldn't do it with twine or yarn.

Hi Barbara, here is a link for wreaths made from mesh in Hometalk. I hope that you find something that interests you

Mesh wreathed are very fashionable! If you can make a mesh tube about 48” long, you can have a typical wreath. Twist the two ends together to make the wreath. Spray paint the mesh any color or metallic you want, or leave it plain. Go outside and gather a box full twigs, cones and leaves, no matter what season it is. Spread the outdoor things on newspaper to dry and spray with bug killer. In the meantime, buy a string of tiny lights (and batteries, if needed) and weave them around and around your wreath. Where each light is, make sure it is facing outward, and squeeze the mesh to hold it out. If you are using electric lights, wherever the lights end with the cord, that’s the bottom of your wreath. If the leaves and things have dried at least 12 hours, gather them in groups of three. You can tie them with thread or yarn or bread twist ties, or just hold them tightly, but put the trio in any empty hole and squeeze the mesh to hold them in. If you have twist ties, hair pins or small paper clips, you can use those to hold the greenery, too. Try for every third hole. Work all around the the outside of the wreath first. Then start on the next row, trying to keep the rows straight and even, but skip the holes with lights. By then, you can tell if you need lots more leaves. Continue weaving and don’t forget the center. You can do this on the back, too, if this is not going right against a wall or door.

When you have a wreath full of greenery, now spray the leaves and things with polyurethane, from the front and the back. If you have chosen a holiday or theme for your first wreath, it’s time to go fishing—for decorations for the wreath. To spend nothing, just look around your house. Look in the tool drawer, junk drawer, toy box, sewing box, bathroom drawers, bedroom drawers, jewelry box, gift wrapping box, and in the garage and outdoors. A great find would be an abandoned bird’s nest. Place your goodies around your wreath with hot glue, or intertwined in the greenery. Place a sign or a bow at the top or bottom and you are through with your first mesh wreath! Best wishes on all on the rest! ☺️

You can place the mesh around many things, cardboard or florist sponge among them. When you do, you can make the mesh any shape you like: wreaths are not the only decor around.

Have fun with your project!

I have made several wreaths and have tutorials for them over on my blog. Maybe one of these will inspire you - https://chascrazycreations.com/?s=wreath
