    Make A Dahlia Deco Mesh Wreath for Vibrant Summer Decor

    May 23, 2018 by Patti Estep 4 Comments

    This purple dahlia deco mesh wreath is super easy to create, and it's a perfect bright and cheerful way to decorate your front door for the summer.

    Purple dahlia deco mesh wreath

    This is the year for purple and green at my house. I just can't get enough. I really loved the purple and green fresh flowers on the modern spring wreath I made, but now that summer is approaching I wanted to try something new. I decided to go with a deco mesh wreath in the shape of a purple dahlia. I'm sure you've seen the beautiful sunflowers and other designs made with this fun ribbon. Though I would have preferred to have a less shiny material, this dazzling wreath looks pretty slick on our front door.

    Supplies

    16 inch metal wreath form
    12 inch metal wreath form
    8 inch metal wreath form
    small zip ties
    5.5 inch deco mesh ribbon
    2,5 inch burlap ribbon
    twist ties

    Metal wreath frames attached with zip ties.To make one of these beauties, start by attaching three wire wreath forms together with zip ties.

    Purple dahlia deco mesh wreath petals

    For the petals cut 8 inch strips from a roll of 5.5 inch deco mesh. I ended up using three rolls of this mesh to make this wreath.  

    Roll the corners in towards the middle and use a twist tie to gather and hold the form in place.

    Green burlap leaves

    Use a few pieces of green burlap ribbon to make some leaves on the outside. Just cut the ribbon on an angle, also 8 inches long, and gather in the middle with another twist tie.

    Back of deco mesh wreath

    Starting on the outer rim, tie on the leaves first and fill in with the petals. I used leftover white twist ties that we had on hand, but you can purchase dark ones, or use something else like a pipe cleaner or wire. The wreath is so full you really can't see the white ties, but the back is not so pretty. You could cover the back with felt or fabric if you so desire.

    This purple dahlia deco mesh wreath takes a few hours to create, but it's easy enough to do while you are watching TV in the evening.

    I like that because it keeps me from snacking. 😉

      You're spot on - it does look pretty slick on your front door (love that door too, by the way).
      I tried my hand at a light blue, white, and silver one over the winter and found this a really fun material to work with. One of my favorite things about these wreaths is that they are so lightweight.
      This is a perfect, bright wreath for summer and you could make it most any color you want. You've inspired. 🙂

        You are so right about this weight of this wreath. It's like a feather. Probably a first for me and a welcome one on my new door. I've been wanting to try my hand on this fun material for a while, and it did not disappoint.

      What a beautiful wreath - the purple and green are an awesome combination. So many things you could do with this in addition to adding beauty to the front door. I can see project is going to do some serious traveling around the Internet.

        Thanks Carole. It's funny because I usually don't make anything so bright and vibrant, but I wanted to try playing with this fabric. It was really fun to work with.
