Going Jane: 12 Ways to Use Deco Mesh in your Christmas Decor

One of the things I LOVE about deco wire mesh is that it can be used for sooooo many things!

Here are a dozen ways you can use it in your Christmas decor, starting with some ways it's being used around our house this year:

1. As a simple tree garland. Just wrap it around your tree like normal garland, only use pipe cleaners to tuck it in, fluff and hold it onto real trees. Artificial trees are even simpler: justtwist single branches around the mesh to hold it in place.

Here's our Barbie-themed tree with simple gold deco mesh garland from Sam's Club.

2. Multiple swirled tree garlands. We used 4 pieces of deco mesh in red and a pretty red and white stripe to add some color to our Disney/Star Wars tree.

We used the 4 sections to group like ornaments together: Star Wars, Disney Princesses, Mickey & his classic friends; and our other Disney ornaments.

3. Deco Christmas trees! Repurpose something you already have into a deco mesh Christmas tree! Here is my tiered planter turned into a deco mesh Christmas tree for my deck:

4. Outdoor wreaths. Deco mesh is great for outdoor decorations like my Ohio State wreath...

I hadn't planned on making this and OSU wreath, but the red and white was calling for a Buckeye bow...

5. Indoor wreaths. Once our OSU wreath was in place, I had to make a Purdue Boilermaker-colored wreath to put a stop to the grief I was getting. These are such a fun, sparkly way to add color and shimmer!
