Halloween Door Deco Mesh
Halloween is quite possibly the best holiday...EVER. Well, this is only my opinion, but I am very strongly standing behind it. It is low stress and all about being a carefree kid. What's not to love about that?!? Moving on to the business at hand. Everyone loves a fun, festive house on this particular holiday. I, a forever Pinterest stalker found a ton of ideas and the deco mesh looks so luxurious and festive that I thought I would give it a shot. So here goes....
Start with two Christmas garlands. I got mine 40% off at Hobby Lobby, don't buy the best it is the skeleton of the project. Pun fully intended. Next I bought some coordinating plastic glitter Christmas balls and 3 rolls of large deco mesh.
Next twist the ends of the garland to make a long rope of garland. I took it to the door and made bends for a rough outline of the door and back to the floor I went. I suppose you could hang it on the door and work that way, but I am not the most graceful gal around and would likely fall off the ladder and end up with a crooked decoration so I felt the floor was best.
Next unroll the mesh and start attaching to the garland. I just used the branches and secured my poufs with it, you can use twist ties or floral wire but this works just fine. It doesn't look like much with one color but as you repeat this process with the other colors it comes together quickly. I got so excited that I failed to take pictures of the other two colors but it goes exactly the same way. I simply varied where I gathered the poufs so they weren't all gathered in the same place. The second color gathered in the middle of the green pouf so the poufs were everywhere. Make sense? It does in my head so hopefully you get it.
Finally we wrapped purple lights around it added the Christmas balls and as small ribbon for contrast and this is what we got. LOVELY. I will likely add some small wooden letters that I will spray paint with glitter that says "BOO" and "EEK" and "SPOOKY" with maybe some more balls. The one note I would add is that we glued the metal piece of the ball down then used the loop that would normally have a hook to hang on the tree and attached the ball to the garland with a zip tie. This was hubs idea so it would stay put during windy weather and it was a pretty good suggestion, he has a few good ones occasionally :) Hope you enjoy.
