How to Use a Decorative Mesh Ribbon

Decorative mesh ribbon works a lot like wire-edged ribbon. It isn't stiff, but it holds its shape, permitting you all manner of design indulgences for holidays and special occasions. The ribbon is an elegant choice for garlanding holiday trees, but it comes in scores of colors and widths and may be used year-round for decorating everything from your front door to your backyard.To get more news about decorative mesh, you can visit boegger.net official website.

Capture the exuberance of the holiday season with a door wreath made of decorative mesh ribbon. Tie strips of the ribbon in green, red-and-white stripes, solid red and silver around a wreath form, completely hiding the form. Tuck sprays of silver and red beads in among the ribbons for extra dazzle and hang a glittery cut-out snowman -- with a ribbon muffler -- in the center of the wreath. Attach three silver jingle bells or a couple of silver-dipped pine cones to the bottom of the wreath on narrow lengths of red or green grosgrain.

Your spring table is a cloud of soft color when you make a centerpiece with pastel mesh ribbon and tokens of the season. Surround a low, footed cake platter with a woven collar of palest green, yellow, pink and lilac ribbon, blended with thinner strands of deeper greens, rose, and purple, and a few pops of white and silver. Once the "nest" is in place, set a wicker or rush basket on the platter and swirl more pastel ribbon around its handle, tying it off in a huge bow -- like a butterfly. Tuck pastel plastic Easter eggs into the ribbon nest and fill the basket with paper hay and tinsel-wrapped chocolate eggs and petits fours in paper cups to distribute as dessert after a festive brunch or luncheon.

A garden wedding setting reflects the blooming flowers when you festoon chair backs with bows and streamers of decorative mesh ribbon in wedding colors. Tie a wide band of ribbon around the upper chair back of every other chair, finishing it off with a giant bow. On alternate chairs, tie the ribbon around the chair back, knot it over an artificial sprig of lily-of-the-valley, and let the long ends of the ribbon curl down like streamers. Use the same ribbon for a backdrop behind the wedding table or the arch for outdoor vows. Stretch a thin wire across the space; from it, hang random-length strands of the mesh used for the chairs, wide satin ribbon in deeper shades of the wedding pastels, strands of white and silver curling ribbon, and very thin gathered-ribbon trim.

Decorate for a Halloween party and trick-or-treat night with mesh ribbon pumpkins to hang in your lighted windows. Scrunch decorative orange mesh into a fat ball for each pumpkin and overlay it with wide orange mesh ribbon in rounded vertical columns to mimic the ridges of a pumpkin globe. Gather the top into a knot and tie strips of green mesh ribbon around it to sprout out in curves like leaves on a pumpkin vine. Top off the green leaves with a cluster of silk autumn leaves and strands of tiny orange berries. Hang one of the pumpkins in each of the front-facing windows on the ground floor of your house. Light them to glow for visitors, inside and out, with a small spotlight facing up beneath each pumpkin or a strand of fairy lights draped around each window frame.
