“Let It Snow!” Mesh Wreath

Instructions

1. Gather the end of the mesh together and pin it to the outside of the wreath at the back edge. Leave the back of the wreath bare so it will lay flat against the wall or door when hung. Measure about 12″ to 14″ from the pinned end and gather the mesh again. Pin this gathered section to the inside of the wreath at the back edge. Measure another 12″ to 14″ from this point and gather again. Pin this gathered section again at the outside edge of the wreath about 1″ over from the first pin. Continue gathering and pinning the mesh around the wreath’s inside and outside edges. Cut the mesh where you stop and pin the end in place.
2. Decide on the amount and the sizes of balls you would like for creating the snowballs.    Place a toothpick into each of the balls. Use the toothpick as a handle to brush on a coat of white glue to each of the balls. Pour the glitter into a shallow dish. Roll each of the balls into the glitter to cover completely. Pick the snowballs into a scrap piece of foam to dry.
3. Make a bow using the 10″ white mesh and tie the bow onto a 6″ pick. Pick the bow into the wreath. Secure the chalkboard plaque to a 6″ pick and pick the sign into the wreath below the bow. Adding glue to the end of the picks before inserting them will give a more secure hold.
4. Glue each of the snowballs onto 6″ picks and pick them into the wreath as desired.
