What width of Deco Mesh do I need for a 4-ring 18” wreath?
A common width of deco mesh used is typically 250mm. This width allows you to gather and secure the mesh ribbon onto the wreath frame while creating fullness and volume in the wreath design. However, you can also use other widths such as 500mm or 150mm depending on your desired style and preference. It's always a good idea to have some extra mesh on hand in case you need additional layers or want to add more texture to your wreath.
How do you cut Deco Mesh so it doesn’t fray?
How do you cut Deco Mesh so it doesn’t fray?
Follow these steps:
- Measure: Determine the desired length of the deco mesh you need for your project and mark it with a pen or a piece of tape.
- Prepare: Place a self-healing cutting mat or a protective surface on your work area to prevent any damage to the table or countertop.
- Cut: Use sharp fabric scissors or rotary cutters to make a clean and precise cut along the marked line. Make sure to hold the mesh firmly to prevent it from shifting or stretching during the cutting process.
- Seal the edges: This step is optional but can help further prevent fraying. There are a few methods you can use to seal the cut edges:
- Fray Check: Apply a small amount of fabric fray check or fabric glue along the cut edges of the deco mesh. This product helps seal the mesh fibers, preventing fraying. Follow the instructions on the product for proper application and drying time.
- Heat sealing: Carefully use a heat source such as a lighter or a heat gun to lightly melt the cut edges of the deco mesh. Hold the flame or heat source briefly near the edge without touching it directly. This melts the mesh fibers, sealing them and preventing fraying. Exercise caution and work in a well-ventilated area when using heat sources.
- Clear nail polish: Another alternative is to apply a thin layer of clear nail polish along the cut edges of the deco mesh. This acts as a temporary sealant and helps prevent fraying.
Remember to test any sealing method on a small piece of deco mesh first to ensure it doesn't cause discoloration or damage to the material. Additionally, always exercise caution when working with scissors, heat sources, or any other tools to ensure your safety.
