How to make an Easter Egg Wreath!

 How to make an Easter Egg Wreath!

This year is flying by for us here at TMI Gifts!  It seems like we were just on Christmas break and now Easter is right around the corner!  As Easter approaches us, I thought that you might want some kind of Easter Décor on your front door.  Robin (Designer) has designed an Easter Egg wreath, which is what we will talk about today.  Note:  Every item is linked to the product. 

Ok so let’s get started!

First you are going to need a wreath form.  We used a 24” Lavender Work Wreath.  Now keep in mind this is a round wreath but what you do next is very simple.  Robin took the wreath and shaped it into an oval shape.  The wire is pretty easy to bend.

Next you will need 20” Azalea Stripe Designer Netting, 20”Baby Blue Designer Netting, 20” Yellow Designer Netting, and a 20” Pink Plaid Designer Netting.  Now with each of these you are going to do the same thing but alternating colors throughout the oval shaped wreath.  Robin started with 20” Pink Plaid Designer Netting by cutting a strip just long enough to attach to the top branches of the oval and then to each side.  Moving on to 10” Yellow Designer Netting and doing the same until you get to the bottom of the form.  It is really that simple.  Just alternate your colors, cut strips and attach to the outer branches.  Note: Make sure not to pull the Designer Netting too tight.

You will need the following ribbons to make a bow for the top of the egg.  In the picture shown, we use 2.5" X 10 Yds Poly Wired Jumbo Dot Lime/White Ribbon, 2.5" X 10 Yds Multi Colored Poly Wired Chevron Ribbon,  and 2.5" X 10 Yds Frayed Edge Ribbon Lime, Orange and Pink

When making the bow, Robin made a few loops with each ribbon and layered them.  She attached the bow to the wreath form by zip ties. 

If you have any questions about how this wreath was made or more in depth questions, you can email tiffoni.tmigifts@gmail.com or call 1-800-869-3395 and ask for Robin or Tiffoni.

How to make a Bunny Wreath for Easter!

How to make a Bunny Wreath for Easter!

Easter will be here before you know it!  Decorating for Easter can be this easy.  This is great decor for your door on Easter Sunday.  Maybe some of you will have a big Sunday dinner with lots of guests,  something like this will give your house the look it needs for the special day! 

Ok so first you will need a 24" White Wreath and a 30" White  Wreath.  This is going to be the base of your bunny.  You can use a different color if you like but we used white just in case you could see it.  If you don't want any color to be seen 

Next step you will take 3 rolls of 20" X 10 Yds White Designer Netting. Cover both wreath forms with it, just like you would when making a regular mesh wreath.  Take the end and tie it between two branches, then the next to the next ring in between two branches and so on until you have covered the entire wreath.   We like to alternate between rings.  We go from the outside to the inside. After you have completed this step you are going to want to attach the 24" wreath to the top of your 30" wreath.  You can do this by using zip ties or wire. 

Now for the ears.  This is really not that difficult.  What we did was cut off  7" to 8" strip of 20" White Designer Netting so that is rolls back up into what we call curls.  So let that strip roll back up and take the ends and attach it to the top of the 24" wreath. You can attach them with the branches on the wreath. I would also attach them of the front side of the wreath like shown in the picture above.    Space them apart evenly since they are the ears. 

 

You will use 20" Pink Designer Netting.  You will only need one roll of this because you don't use much of it at all.  Do the same step you did with the 20" white for the ears. You'll want to tuck them in between your white curls and attach them with the branches also.

Ok so the rest is all really simple.  We use 2 of the 32" Plastic ball spray with pink sequins for the whiskers and the eyes. We pulled two of the balls of the sprays and attached them to the branches of the wreaths for eyes.  Attach the sprays in the 24" wreath on both sides to give a whisker look.  Again we used the branches on the wreath to secure the sprays. 

Ok the easiest step of all and the last step.  We used a 3" Pink Designer Netting and a 2.5" X 25 Yds Poly Wired Stripe Dazzle 2 Ribbon to make a bow. Making a bow is simple. Just loop from side to side until the bow is as big as you want it and then do the same with the printed ribbon and attach it to the 3" Pink Designer Netting bow.   Place the bow in the middle of the 30" wreath and secure.

If you have any specific questions or need  more detailed instructions you can call Robin or Tiffoni at 1-800-869-3395 or email tiffoni.tmigifts@gmail.com

How to Make a Flower Wreath!

How to Make a Flower Wreath! 

We are continuously trying to find new ways to use our Designer Netting (also known as mesh). Today we want to show you how to make a flower wreath.  This is a great idea for the upcoming season’s spring and summer.  

If you are like me you want something different on your door.  A wreath is always great but making a flower wreath gives your door décor a more unique look.  Not everyone has this on their doors. 

First you want to start out with a 24” work wreath.  These can be found on our website and every picture links to the product on our website.  In this video Brittany uses a Lavender wreath. 

Second you want to use our 20" X 10 Yards Pink Basket Weave Designer Netting.

Use this netting on the outer ring of your work wreath. 

 Brittany folds the netting in half and cinches the end.  Then take that end and secure it between two branches on the outer ring of the wreath.  Now, for the next step you will cinch the sides to the branches to secure the netting.  Do this all the way around the outer ring of the wreath.

When you get back to where you started, overlap that branch you started with.

Just cut the extra ribbon off after overlapping that last branch.

Then you will need 20" X 10 Yards Lime Green Basket Weave Designer Netting.

This netting will be the inside of your flower.  Note: We also have this in yellow if you would rather the inside be yellow. You will use the lime netting the same way. Instead of folding, bunch it up at the end.  Start from the inside ring this time.  You will secure between each set of branches.  Do this until you get to the branches you started from and then cut off your extra ribbon.

Now that we have our flower, we want to spruce it up with a bow.  In the bow you will use some of the extra ribbon in Lime Basket weave.  Bunch it together at the end and made one loop on each end.  Then you want to use 4" Burlap in green to layer on top of that.  When using your burlap ribbon, make two loops on each side.

 Then take 1.5" X 25 Yards Poly WiredStripe Dazzle Turquoise Ribbon and layer it on top.  Loop six times.  3 loops to each side. Cut off the extra ribbon and then place a zip tie to secure the bow where you are holding it.  

You can then secure the bow into the wreath by the branches or a zip tie. 

To me a zip tie is more secure than the branches. After securing the bow, go back and fluff it back up. 

Now for the very last thing.  Just something to embellish the wreath is a metal butterfly. This particular butterfly is 12" and comes in 3 styles.  Brittany just takes the butterfly and secures it beside the bow with the wreath branches.
