Pumpkin Wreath Tutorial

Items needed: 
 1 styrofoam wreath form
 2 packs of floral picks with wire(the bags did not have a count on them?)
 1 orange 4.5" roll of orange mesh
 1 green 4.5" roll of green mesh(mine was metallic since I already had it on hand)
  Burlap to form a loop in order to hang the wreath
 Steps: 
1. I wrapped my wreath with the green mesh. You could use something cheaper but it was all I had at the time. I secured this with u-shaped floral pins.

 2. Cut SEVERAL ( I did not count mine) 8- inch sections of the orange mesh. Pinch one of the long sides together, wrap wire on the pick around the end securely.  See picture below.

3. Start filling the form.  I started on the inside and worked my way around and outward.

4.  Once I had all of the orange picks I wanted, I made 4 green mesh picks to put at the top for the leaves.

5.  I wrapped a strip of burlap around it to hang it with and to serve as a stem.  I have seen real sticks put on them and they are super cute.

You will find others that have the "swirls" going in a more uniform direction but I like randomness!
The entire process took a little over an hour.  I hope that you find this helpful if you choose to make one!
