Shelby's Mesh Project

My daughter asked the other day if she could do her own mesh project. So, she took a look at Pinterest and decided to do one of the "rolled" mesh wreaths. The color scheme was originally neon green, neon pink and black. But it got changed to just pink and black when Shelby discovered how long it took to cut the mesh into pieces.
Materials used:
  • 1 12" wire wreath frame
  • 2 rolls each of 21" deco mesh
  • pipe cleaners
  • 3" wire ribbon and a silk flower
We cut the mesh into about 8 inch lengths.


We then used bright pink pipe cleaners to hold the rolls in the middle and then tie them to the wire frame.

This was 2 full rolls of mesh. It became really unruly.

Shelby added zebra print ribbon loops and a zebra print flower.
 
Had I been a controlling mother (or if this had been my project), I would have added some more ribbon to the finished product, but she was happy.
 
She also decided to make "shoes" out of pipe cleaners.
