While I was trying to come up with
an idea for a summer wreath I thought of the fact that nothing screams summer
quite like fresh fruit (namely watermelon) on a hot summers day. The easiest way I came up with for
recreating a watermelon was using deco mesh, which offered a perfectly
whimsical touch to otherwise drab front door. I bought the deco mesh and the work wreath form from here.
{supplies: 21" deco mesh in hot pink, lime + apple green + 24" work wreath form}
{bend your work wreath form into a football shape and straighten the wire branches}
{unroll the mesh and bunch it together a couple inches in from the end}
{secure to a wire branch on the outer ring. twist the wire branch around the bunch to secure}
{to form the puff: gather 11" length of mesh, bunching the end together and bring it back to the center for a fuller look}
{use the same concept above as you continue to add colors to the wreath}
{cut black teardrops out of felt and hot glue to the pink portion for seeds}
How cool is this? It'd make a great present topper too! Thanks for sharing!
