Build a Banner Meets Decorative Mesh Wreath

How is that for catching your attention? I have been admiring all the wreaths using this Decorative Mesh stuff. I pinned a bunch of wreaths (and other things you can do with this stuff). Well I finally made a wreath. It was pretty all by itself.......then I had my last banner class, using the Build a Banner Simply Created Kit. We were making a "Joy" banner. The banner I made was fine, but when Patty Bennett changed hers up a bit, OMG! She added Real Red letters and a couple of Real Red Snowflakes. 
So my wreath was hung up in my craft room, (didn't know how to decorate it), and we layed Patty's banner  across the bottom of the wreath. OMG! that's what it needed. Ok, I guess I should show you what I did.
I LOVE how this turned out. Jan Wakeland did a Love Banner and tied the banners together (in a knot) and though I could do bows for my banner. I used the gorgeous 1" Cherry Cobbler Stitched Edge Grosgrain Ribbon. Added my Festive Flurry Snowflakes, cut out with the matching Framelits, (buy the bundle and save 15%). I used Bermuda Bay, Real Red, Silver Glimmer Paper, and Silver Foil.

Here you can see the "bunch" of snowflakes with the red Christmas Bulbs.

Here is the "joy" banner up close.

  4. Beautiful, I haven't seen the mesh ribbon in the Stampin Up books did I overlook? Did you use a wire wreath base as your base? I think I've been them at Hobby Lobby.
